RUGBY
The whole club gets involved when the covers need to go on, from volunteers to coaching staff and
players. Once, we even had the players from Leeds Rhinos come and help
Now, we just have three; myself, Head Groundsman Ryan Golding and our other Assistant Head Groundsman Leon Pearson.” In his time so far in the industry, Dan feels he has been fortunate to learn from some of the best groundsmen in the sports turf industry and is grateful for their help and guidance.
In 2018, Stanningley invested and installed a fully automatic Hunter irrigation system into the stadium pitch. “We have eighteen
G-885 heads around the perimeter and twelve I-40 heads in the middle. The site suffers from high winds, so this has enabled us to get more head to head coverage. This is controlled through the Hunter ACC2 controller, which is very simple to use. The system is fed by a dedicated mains water pipe into a tank with a submersible pump. Connected into the main irrigation ring we have a tap near to the training pitches so we can attach a tri-flex hose with a travelling
sprinkler to water the training area.” To help fund this project, the club spent nearly two years holding fundraising events and raised the subs. They also have a buy-a-brick scheme (which costs fifty pounds a brick) - proceeds went towards funding the installation of the irrigation system and other projects.
The club trusts Dan with the annual budget for the pitch and he pretty much gets what is required (within reason).
