A brilliant excuse for no undersoil heating....

Doncaster managing director Stuart Highfield claims the club did not install undersoil heating at the Keepmoat Stadium due to "predicted global warming.".

Rovers' Championship clash with Bristol City was postponed on Saturday due to a frozen pitch, as temperatures all over the country took a plunge, and Highfield insisted: "I think the view was taken that due to predicted global warming there wouldn't be a need for it."
