SIS PITCHES First of its kind for Spartak Moscow
SIS Pitches has completed work on the playing surface at the recently opened Otkritie Arena – the new home of Spartak Moscow. Construction work began in March, followed by the seeding of the pitch. The pitch is equipped with a fully automatic irrigation, undersoil heating and
aeration systems which will be seeded on a fibre sand reinforced root zone. Otkritie Arena is the first stadium in Russia to feature these surface technologies. SIS also supplied grow lights, all pitch
covers and maintenance machinery and equipment for the surface – and will
The Spartak team training on the new Otkrytie surface ahead of their home opener against Torpedo Moscow
continue to maintain the pitch for at least the next 12 months. As well as being the home to Spartak, the 43,000-seat Otkritie Arena will host international matches. It will also be one of the stadia used when Russia hosts the 2018 World Cup – including one of the semi final matches.
O’BRIEN Ladybridge invests in 3G
Ladybridge FC in Bolton has become the first grassroots club in the region to have its very own 3G surface. Funded nearly entirely (97 per cent) by the club, the new £220,000, full-size Astroturf 60mm pitch was installed by O’Brien on a dynamic base, consisting of a specially graded aggregate including drainage and kerbing works. The 7,500sq m pitch has already been signed off by the FA for competitive use and club officials are looking
forward to a huge increase in available hours for community use. O’brien secured the contract to deliver the pitch following a competitive tender process and completed the project in just eight weeks.
The new pitch will increase the number of hours available for Ladybridge FC and has already been approved by the FA to host competitive games
