I was at the game in 2016 against Middlesex where they were taken off for what I am convinced to this day was severe cold.

Had a walk down to the ground on Tuesday. A lovely morning with not a cloud in the sky. Blue seats in the Trapdoor still in their winter storage underneath the stand. Lets hope they decide to reinstall them for April 14th.
