TD surface....the heat lamps

Post: # 558685Post Sainter_4_life »

Ok, so I was at the Dome today as that was the venue for my cpa exam (in the limelight room :wink: ). Anyway, from my seat i had a perfect view over the arena, and saw those massive heat lamps in action on the turf (they had them lined up on the surface from end to end down the middle).

Made me realise that there havent really been any concerns about the surface this year, and that the heat lamps were looking like they were doing the trick. Is this the end of the TD surface complaints ?

Also, noticed a group of about 30 schoolkids doing some sort of tour of the place. They even let them on the ground to walk around and bounce footies (even if it was only near the bench area). Also saw the ground staff putting the skins advertising into the rolling advertising things on ground level for saturday night (even though its a tigers home game?).

Also thanks to the staff for doing a PA test right in the middle of the exam lol :roll:

I'm thinking skins is no longer a sponsor

2XU - 2XU - Official compression supplier of the St Kilda Football Club.

is the new advertised sponsor

Great news and thanks for the heads up....it was reported that the lamps were purchased, but typical no media about it.....good ol' Saintsational to the rescue.

I'll be emailing my mates at Ninbim now and if you see a few Hippies near TD
please excuse their smell and let them sow their seeds.....


i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

they emit a kryptonite type ray into the soil, it's the AFL's way of slowing us down.
We haven't played well since those insidious beams have been introduced.
I would like to suggest that the players wear Lead lined Jock straps and possibly have our guernseys made from fine Lead thread.

PS Does anyone know of any light Lead?

Thanks Cowboy and Fingers but not quite what I'm looking for (damn the English language :wink: )
I was thinking something more along these lines.Image
