Winter Sports
One of the largest 3G pitches in Europe
heavily scarified in three directions. 240 tonnes of sand were applied to the area, with special attention paid to linesman’s runs, goalmouths and any other worn areas. A pre-seed fertiliser was applied followed by oversowing with the rye grass mix, and vertidrained. Similarly, these works were carried out by Souter Sports and the Bolton Wanderers staff. High quality academy and training
grounds are crucial to the success of a top flight football team. Long gone are
the days when clubs just had their home grounds and a small training facility. All Premiership, and most Championship clubs, have invested millions of pounds in state of the art stadium pitches and their training grounds to cope with the demands of modern day football. Academy and training grounds are becoming very important assets for professional clubs, with the emphasis placed on the quality of facilities on offer. The better facilities
you have to offer, the better players you are likely to attract. Richard is well aware of the money the club have invested in their facilities in recent years, and has worked hard to build up his experienced groundstaff who, year after year, strive to improve the quality of the pitches. Let’s hope these continued
improvements encourage the current group of players to make a speedy return to the Premiership.
