| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Tony Hursey, head groundsman, and the Torquay United Football Club in Torquay, United Kingdom. Details how Hursey prepared "the Gulls' pitch at Plainmoor for the...winter season and [helped] put the club on track for possible promotion to League Division One in 2007." Discusses his list of priorities, including letting the grass to grow about 30 millimeters, watering the pitch, adding nutrients to the soil, and getting rid of paint-contaminated soil. Describes Hursey's work on making new pitch lines and adding fertilizer. Mentions the possibility of adding rugby, cricket, and an athletics track. States that "if money were no object [Hursey] would rip up the pitch and start again." Concludes that "the club is not keen to spend too much on the pitch because there is a possibility that it will move to a new site." |
