We’ve always had trouble with the frost. Even going back to the 60s, it was always the Warwick Road End, which gets sheltered from the sun. They tried all sorts: braziers, covering it in straw and different things.
Once the frost gets in, you’ve got to have a sudden thaw. If it’s gradual it can take days.
