The balloon went at Filbert Street on 14th April, home of Leicester City football club

The balloon went at Filbert Street on 14th April, home of Leicester City football club, as the Second Division football club installed its revolutionary £ 8000 pitch protection equipment which comprises a polythene balloon covering the whole playing area and hovering fifteen feet above the pitch on a cushion of hot air. The temperature inside is ten degrees warmer than on the outside and gives the pitch adequate protection from frost, snow and rain. The players can train underneath and the groundsmen can work under cover until the balloon is deflated. 15th April 1971
