With temperatures forecasted to drop severely again later this week, do you think the concourses in all the stands should be heated throughout the night, to prevent a repeat of what happened to the North stand?

[Spireite S41]

Do we have heaters in the stands?

[Odysseus]

I looked up how much heat the human body produces, when sleeping we produce about 80W, awake and sitting is about 116W and sprinting we produce about 1.6KW.

So if we get 100 people running up and down each concourse at night that should generate around 160KW, which should be enough to keep them ice free.

Here’s a thought, if we could harness the hot air generated on this message board, we could probably supply the UK with free power all year!

You could do that with just Fishini & Dema Reborn!

Time to put my cunning plan into effect I think! OK all volunteers to lie down on the pitch overnight and give their 80W straight onto the grass, report to Chester at midnight! I shall unfortunately be unable to attend due to a previous appointment, but my thoughts are with you.

[Mr.Spireite]

Hot air rises though.....

Frozen beer pipes and lukewarm pies? Things could get very nasty

It could be worse than that try it the other way round!!!!!

[Odysseus]

Does anyone know if any action was taken during the summer, so a repeat of the burst pipes does not occur this winter?

[Odysseus]

With some seriously cold weather over the last week, have we sorted the problems we had with burst pipes last winter, or was it even colder last year?

It was considerably colder last year! It was in double figures at times!

We now have a policy of shutting off the water and draining the pipes between matches when the temperatures drop.

What a clever way of dealing with the problem, how long does it take, and has there ever been any trouble when you’ve turned the water back on?

when I fetched my Wembley tickets thy had heaters on in the South stand unless you put your A=ss on them they were useless
