Worcester to switch to artificial pitch

Worcester Warriors RFC

will become the first club to convert to the latest generation of Artificial Grass Pitch ahead next season.
The new pitch, which will meet all World synthetic pitch guidelines, will be the first in the UK to feature an organic infill rather than the more widely used rubber crumb made from desiccated car tyres.
While fellow top-flight sides and Falcons have made the switch to artificial surfaces in recent seasons, Warriors will make the move to play on the state-of-the-art, all-weather surface from Italian specialists, Limonta Sport.
Warriors Chief Executive Jim O’Toole said: “Our stadium pitch is the single most under-utilised asset in the Club, currently being used for fewer than 100 hours per season.
“The structure of our existing playing surface means that we have to allocate eight to ten weeks per summer break to refurbish it, thus removing the possibility of summertime playing usage or commercial activity.
“This exciting development not only allows us to play more rugby at all levels on our biggest physical asset but also allows us to establish new commercial revenue streams such as concerts, festivals and other non-rugby events.”
