| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turf renewal, explaining that "coping with more demanding play schedules and a significant increase in events, pitch replacement is the only solution to maintaining top conditions." States that "multi-functional stadiums are more prevalent, meaning clubs have to generate revenue from these facilities." Offers recommendations for returfing, including "measure air movement and light levels", "monitor drainage", and "record hours of play." Suggests that "groundsmen should work with the turf farm to achieve optimum results." States that on replacement pitches, "irrigation, fertilisers [fertilizers] need to be the same, to ensure that the shock of transition will not be too severe." Discusses the potential importance of the pitch removal process, explaining that "it has a significant impact on creating a good surface." Suggests that the new turf "should be irrigated each day and aerated within four days." Concludes that "returfing is a great tool which clubs can use to create additional revenue." |
