Spartak Moscow Switch To SISGrass For World Cup

April 25, 2017/in Press Release/by Matthew Gibbs

Russian giants Spartak Moscow will make the switch from a natural pitch to a SISGrass hybrid surface ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

SIS Pitches previously designed and constructed a natural pitch at the Otkrytiye Arena in 2014, before completing work on four training pitches in September 2016.

From April 2017, SISGrass will be installed at the stadium as Spartak Moscow joins a number of other Russian stadiums that are having a hybrid pitch transformation.

The Otkrytiye Arena, one of twelve stadiums that will host matches at the tournament next year, will become the fourth high-profile stadium in the country to receive a SISGrass makeover.

SIS Pitches has installed a new SISGrass hybrid pitch at the Luzhniki Stadium, the venue of the opening ceremony and the World Cup Final.

The global pitch-specialists have also agreed deals to complete similar work at the Rostov Arena and the Baltic Arena, Kaliningrad, sealing a quartet of SISGrass projects.

Ilyas Kobal, SIS Pitches Eastern Europe Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to be installing the ever popular SISGrass at Spartak Moscow.

“We have developed a great working relationship with the club, as we do with all of our clients, especially after we previously installed the natural pitch.

“SISGrass will be present at four world cup stadiums and we are all excited ahead of the tournament next year.”

SISGrass is an advanced reinforced turf system featuring patented fibre injections, which offers increased pitch stability and delivers considerably more playing hours and recovers faster than natural grass surfaces.

Russells Groundscare Appointed Ventrac Dealer

Price Turfcare, the Ventrac importer for the UK and Ireland, has appointed the Russell Group’s Groundcare Divison as their dealer for Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and north Lincolnshire.

A family business, based in Malton and one of the largest New Holland dealers in the UK, they have been serving the farming community since 1921, from five branches in Yorkshire and one in Derbyshire. A new depot in Rotherham opens in May 2017.

Glen Sawyer, Area Manager for south Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Notts commented,
“I’ve known Rupert Price for many years and when I saw him at BTME in January with the Ventrac, I was intrigued. He knows the turfcare industry backwards, so to see his new venture raised my curiosity. I invited him up to Yorkshire and arranged a series of demonstrations with prospective clients, which also gave me the opportunity to see it, and its many attachments, in action.

“I’ve seen a lot of innovative machines in my career, but this is something else. Yes, it’s a great mower with a choice of cutting units that’s particularly good on slopes. But its real attribute is its versatility. With a range of attachments, it’s a multi-functional machine that suits local authorities and golf club alike. It can work year-round – spring preparation, summer mowing, autumn and winter for maintenance. Some of the slopes it tackled were mighty impressive; this machine is a game-changer. That’s why we’re delighted to become dealers for this product.”
