To live up to its great reputation, Head Groundsman Ryan Golding has his work out in ensuring that the playing surface is good enough for the UK’s best Rugby League Rugby Union players. This is no easy task with players doing battle on a regular basis, so to help his cause Ryan started to search for the best turf solutions and products available.

“We looked around at all sorts of different products that were out there in the market, and gauged opinion from a lot of other groundsmen from different stadiums. After numerous weeks of research we came to the conclusion that the Everris products were the best around.

“The Everris products really do help us with the recovery period. The controlled release products are absolutely fantastic and we top them up with the conventionals (the quick release products), which gives us a lot of flexibility; especially with all the events that we have here,” he said.

“One product that we do use quite often is the 20-0-7 ProTurf. It gives us a great uptake of nutrient, it gives us great colour and it gives the turf vigour. It also helps us with the density and generally provides us with all round healthy turf.”
