Are StadCo. prepared to pay for anything i.e ground covers for the winter weather?
THE CLUB PAY A SERVICE CHARGE TOWARDS THE COST OF OVERHEADS AS WELL AS A COMMERCIAL RENT

Its probably a simple wind up.

I have also heard the groundstaff have been banned from watering the pitch. I'm no groundsman but even I know you need to water more than rain to keep the pitch alive!

I heard that they were asking the fans to not use the toilets in the stadium to further save money on the water bills. ;D What a joke... on a serious note though, if this were to be true, and the quality of the pitch suffered due to lack of watering, wouldn't it cost the stad-co more to put the pitch right? This myth is well and truly busted!
