LEEDS UTD LINE UP ANOTHER
Fourth Eco Club marking machine
Leeds United Football Club’s groundscare team have been using Pitchmark Ecoline+ line marking paint since 2015 and are currently adding a fourth Eco Club spray line marking machine to their kit.
Kiel Barrett, Leeds United’s’ Head Groundsman, and his team use the company's paint in the Elland Road stadium and across all eight First Team training grounds and Academy pitches.
“What we were looking for was supreme quality in our marking paint,” says Kiel, “we want the brightest and it has to be quick drying but also very cost-effective.”
With these criteria laid down Kiel had a demonstration by Pitchmark in 2015 and was immediately impressed with the results, putting his order in to one of their dealers, Countrywide Turf and Amenity.
He says he is also very pleased with the level of service and support he gets from Pitchmark and equally praises the consistency of the product.
In the busy Leeds United groundscare schedule Kiel wanted the paint to be quick drying so they can be watering as soon as possible after application. They use Eco Club battery-powered spray line markers to achieve accurate lines without ghosting and find the machines straightforward to use and easy to maintain.
“On match days the speed at which we work relies heavily on the quality we get with the Pitchmark system,” adds Kiel, “we made the right choice and I would recommend it to anyone.”
