    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.But Highfield has responded to claims from supporters that the venue should have had pitch heating installed before Doncaster moved in at the start of last term.He told the Sheffield Star: "I think the view was taken that due to predicted global warming there wouldn't be a need for it."This is the first cold winter we have had in years and it is only the second game we've lost at the stadium in the two years since we moved."Under-soil heating obviously has its advantages, but it is costly to install and costly to run."

    In other words...

    They're a small club and can't afford it.

    Priceless

    That brightened my day

    Maybe Highfield should consider changing career to doing Stand up instead

    So, thats why they all live in caravans then...

    .. they are anticipating floods due to global warming, and wanted to pre-empt their house getting washed out?

    That's my favourite bit. I reckon losing two matches in two years, in a new ground is pretty bad tbh.

    Its 2 matches in a year and a half

    There is still plenty of winter left this year - could easily happen again
