| Abstract/Contents: | "Not one, but two clubs will be using the new Alfred McAlpine Stadium - and from two different sports. However, the pitch has been carefully designed to accommodate the intensive usage, and to ward off severe weather problems." Alfred McAlpine Stadium, the first pitch in the UK purpose-designed by John Hewitt for rugby and football, will withstand up to four matches and full training requirements each week as it caters for the town's Endsleigh League football and Rugby League sides. Discusses the design strategy, establishment and maintenance of the pitch, and feedback from the owner on the quality of the pitch. |
