About the project
As there are only 2 full-size pitches at the club, they are used very intensively. This meant that due to the high number of playing hours, the club had to make the choice between artificial grass or invest in a better grass pitch. As the club preferred to play on grass they opted for the latter. By replacing the old drainage system with the DrainTalent, the pitches will profit from the DrainTalent advantages and will therefore be able to meet the required playing hours whilst staying in optimal condition. The first pitch has already been done in 2023, the second pitch will be finished in the summer of 2024.
