They also get money from Setanta, ITV etc.

At which point do you want to say they can't afford under soil heating?

Your points are valid and my wording was not the best by saying they can't afford it. I shouldn't have used that and Jack has said what I should have said lol.

Probably can but not all clubs have good people on there board they would rather put the money in the bank and get the intrest from it.

Let's put this into perspective. Grays Athletic have under soil heating, it's not that expensive to get it fitted and it's only 3k per match. :rolleyes:

hey you never know, antallica might have a sudden change of heart :P.

And why would both clubs be getting fined?

Time will tell if they actually get fined. I heard on the radio that it's not an official rule in England to, have undersoil heating. I think it's just any means of protecting the pitch from frost and both clubs have an alternative to the undersoil heating, covers and hot air blowers (Cardiff fans).

In Portsmouth's defence, they were planning a new stadium when they last relaid their soil, so instally undersoil heating would seem like a waste of money.
No idea on Fulham's situation though.
