Michael Yan-H


Hip and Peter Hope with John Litster


Sportsmasters, a local sportsturf contractor whom we still maintain a close working relationship with here at Murrayfield and Firhill. They provided us with staff for some of the routine works and also supplied specialist machinery for our end of season renovations.”


Jim Dawson


“Now, we have four full time staff, although we have retained our contact with Gavin. In fact, one of his former staff members, Michael Yan-Hip, has recently been taken on full time to work along side Peter Hope, Jason Tailford and the newly appointed Head Groundsman, Jim Dawson, who took up his new role on 22nd November. Jim has a wealth of experience, having previously been head groundsman at Falkirk


football club for sixteen years.” Jim was keen to work at the national stadium and applied for the post in October. He is excited about his new role and looking forward to working with all the staff at Murrayfield. He knows only too well the challenges he will face, in particular having to deal with severe temperatures, wind chill and rain, rain and more rain!


As well as the stadium pitch, the team are responsible for the training pitches, plus assisting with other venues when games are taken elsewhere.


To ensure that the work is carried out to the highest possible standard, the SRU has invested in new machinery. These include two new Dennis G860 cassette cylinder mowers, Ransomes Jacobsen
