Whilst most land-based workers are well used to working in freezing temperatures come the winter it seems that midlands footballers are of a slightly less robust disposition. After having to cancel matches last year because of the frost Birmingham City FC has just spent half a million pounds installing under pitch heating and a new pitch profile. The work was completed in only four weeks and now Birmingham’s players will be able to continue playing no matter how chilly it gets. Not too sure about the carbon footprint implications of heating a field mind you!
