Chubbychops Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Sounds like the water within the pipes has leaked. Not water from a thaw. We need to decommission the USH. It's a expensive pain in the arse to run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there is foul play, would be a good Nutmeg article in a few years time! No requirement for undersoil heating at this level, so we can just not turn it on and save a lot of money. As I say, I’m not sure why we even had it on for this one in the first place. Also don’t think anyone outside of Airdrie fans would be remotely interested in your conspiracy theories about a Dunfermline v Airdrie game being postponed. Our USH is obviously very dated and not fit for purpose, it’s failure has caused a few games to be off in recent years (including Falkirk at New Year last year). Think it’s time to either give up on it, or invest in a new one. Just waiting for the pitch to pass the inspection after all this… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh if we want to repair it, but it's not a stipulation to have it, or use it at this level. You'd just isolate the water going to it and forget about it till the off season.

DA Baracus Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If this was done on purpose then there's no way to prove it. Any talk of an investigation is silly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitalDiamond Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 3 minutes ago, CallumPar said: Yep. I’ll be raging and demanding an investigation. You’ll be down there with buckets!! On a more serious note, although it’s not a stipulation at this level, the Pars could go up in which case the USH could be massively helpful keeping some very big games on over the festive period. Cash flow is always going to be an issue for football clubs and rearranged fixtures are likely to reduce the crowd. In short USH could be a big asset for a club. Obviously there needs to some sums done as to whether it costs more to run the system than what you would lose if the fixture changes to a midweek. If you have all that cost and the system fails anyway then it really feels like you should just switch the thing off and only consider a new one if you make it to the Premiership in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to all involved. Here’s a picture of “a failure in the under soil heating system” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I parked my car for 3 hours at 5pm last night and had to defrost it at 8pm. It was frosty here last night and the USH won't have been on for some time. Expensive to fix again and so likely will be decommissioned until close season at the least. Maybe our fortunes are turning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If it’s off, I would be interested to know how much water there is, and why there’s an assumption it won’t drain in the 5 hours between the inspection and kick off. Forecast is good and we haven’t had issues with our drainage, as far as I’m aware. Not too fussed either way though, if I’m honest.

It’s a requirement in the top flight, I believe, so we’d need to fix it if we went up anyway. Wouldn’t be a choice. I’m sure our previous board were on record saying it was a 5 figure cost per match to use the system, because it is so dated. Think it uses oil or something, which has soared in cost since it was installed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
