SIS Pitches Install New Sports Pitch at West Riding FA in Partnership with Football Foundation

THE PREMIER LEAGUE AND THE FA FACILITIES FUND MADE THE NEW FACILITY POSSIBLE

Funded by the Premier League, The FA, and the Government, via Sport England and delivered by the Football Foundation, the country’s largest sports charity, the new pitch at West Riding FA has become a reality.

DESPITE BAD WEATHER THERE WAS VERY LITTLE DELAY

West Riding FA now have the SIS Grass Synthetic Superior 60 synthetic 3G surface installed with inclusion of new goals, despite the bad weather conditions in the time of year it was completed. The team, which was led by Jon Turnbull, only had to delay the work for one week due to heavy rain, but were dedicated to install the drainage in time which allowed the team to keep working and to stay onsite to finish.

The new pitch will predominantly be used by the key partners in the project, Rothwell Town FC, Methley United FC, Rothwell FC, The Garforth Junior League and The Leeds United Foundation.

SIS Pitches is a part of a framework agreement to provide the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of artificial grass pitches. The agreement is in support of the Rugby Football Union (RFU), Football Association (FA), Sport England, England Hockey and Football Foundation (FF) capital investment programmes.

Within a tough time of year to complete a new build pitch, SIS Pitches pulled out all the stops to not allow significant delays to this project, it was a pleasure to work with West Riding FA

Jon Turnbull, Contracts Manager

We are delighted to be working with SIS Pitches in the development of a new SIS Grass Synthetic Pitch at the County FA headquarters. Historically, the grass pitch at WRCFA has had limited use in its capacity due to its ‘stadia pitch’ status and as a result of this has facilitated an average total of 60 hours usage per season with restricted community access. The new SIS Grass Synthetic Superior 60 pitch will provide an average of 56 hours of community usage per week
