Winter Sports - Rugby Union Original THE fro
Plenty of souvenirs in the mess room
measuring equipment here so we can monitor that. We have also come up with a brushing plan that we drew up with our contractor, Technical Surfaces. We have two members of staff trained and designated to work on these pitches.
The re-test is like a giant MOT and it’s done by one of the testing houses. We have a sports laboratory on site here and they regularly test the synthetics for us and, because of that, I think we will never be too far away from meeting the licence standards. You are always going to have to do it; it is like sending your car for a service.
I can’t leave without asking if you will have any involvement in England’s World Cup plans?
I think, initially, our involvement will be the very first step, when the squad assemble here in May for a few days before flying out to Miami. There, they will be getting their first chance to acclimatise themselves to the humid and hot conditions, which are similar to those in Manaus where England’s first game is being played.
The squad arrives here in the third week of May, for three or four days, training on the Desso pitch.
We are currently renovating this pitch now [March 11th] to ensure it is ready in time for them. We have already completed the fraise mowing and are topdressing and aerating the pitch as we speak.
A final comment?
Since St George’s Park opened, we have had over seventy different clubs using the facilities, plus eleven national teams which have come here from different parts of the globe.
The FA has also been here with various development teams to train and play, and every one of them has had nothing but praise for the facilities.
The FA deserves enormous credit for what it has done here at St George’s Park.
We changed the game when we invented this goal back in 2004.
It is now recommended by clubs nationwide and has been replicated throughout the industry. When raised the four wheels allow for superb ground clearance and its internal weighting allows for instant, safe use on any surface. Available for any team size from 11-a-side to 5-a-side.
