grass has to be like the most versatile plant ever
Thanks for the info, however, the soundtrack is dope
Very informative video. Keep up the good work.
How much water and electricity does this take, I wonder? I mean, obviously a lot, but I'd love to see a breakdown on resource consumption. I'm sure it's out there somewhere already.
I'm here after watching Welcome to Wrexham. The fact that Wrexham spent £100k on a pitch that completely crapped out and then another £100k is obviously mind-blowing, because I guess I have never seen in detail the administrative side of the game.
Man City made great strides with undersoil heating at Maine Rd in the late 70's/early 80's while other clubs struggled. Despite being a club who were perennially lower table (if not relegation battlers) at the time, City went top of the league during a period of otherwise Liverpool domination ostensibly due to the fact everyone else's games kept being called off.
there's also the option of just ignoring the steps in entire video, subcontract the job of building a pitch to some shady crony firm for cheap and pocket the rest of the budget
at least in my country that's how we usually do it, oh and blame the regular people for whatever bs reason whenever they complain about something that's actually valid to bring up
"so what"
A much appreciated new knowledge. Now im one step closer to reach my dream of becoming a football pitch specialist. Thank you very much Tifo…
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS WHEN I'VE GOT FINAL EXAMS TOMORROW??
You “kids” will never believe that in winter the only grass was around the corner flags- if you were lucky. Look at the pitch for the Hereford Utd vs Newcastle Utd FA Cup match. How Ronnie Redford scored that screamer I’ll never know.
need this pitch in my backyard asap!
Send this video to LIGA MX , Estadio Azteca looks like garbage , they never color the boxes either.
This is why football pitches are best in England. Other parts of the world is just too expensive to have this system.
So what happened to the experiment Leicester City ran? … 'cause I had a similar idea for poor clubs 'cept I'd make it more like a greenhouse wherein the pitch could be sustained all year round in top condition in any weather, in combination with a heating system beneath the pitch, fans and vents for air circulation, automated temperature-regulating system, and all ice, snow, rainwater collected into underground watertanks would be re-used for watering… benefits are obvious, I think – greater pitch, greater experience for the players and lower energy bills for the club. o/
That's why most of the good footballing nation are rich nations .
here to get lawn tips
This guys sounds sarcastic when he talks.
No wonder stadiums in developing countries are always in a terrible state. The maintenance requirements are too much
So simple! 😂 That was amazing and blew my mind ay how much work is involved. Thanks for such a great explanation! ⚽️
Well….I didn’t know that
Wow!now I understand.thanks for the info
I know a friend who is a golf course technician. He talks about this kind of stuff all the time.
As long as you have commercials I'm going to avoid your channel
😵
All i can think about this is how much carbon footprint we're leaving behind by just maintaining a single football pitch
idk why I needed to know this but thanks
Please teach this to Turkish clubs
To me, the greatest advance in football tecnology is the pitch. At least to me it had a far greater impact over the game than the ball, boots and gloves. (of course leaving the old leather balls and the fact that keepers didn´t use gloves aside)
Respect++ for pitch team
there must be caretaker snobbery in the top tier like everyone has a slightly different method of one bit and swears down by it
Instructions unclear, I've made a hockey ring
This is very oddly calming
Fun fact:
The lights they use are the same cannbis growers use
They’re 1000w gavita lights and cost about £600 each and cost about £40 a week to use
Trust me
Mind. Blown.
What about weeding? I'm sure dandelion seeds must get in.
it takes 14 months? I thought grass grows in days.
That's a lot more involved than I ever imagined.
Although you wouldn't notice it standing on a football pitch.. the pitch isn't perfectly level and flat there needs to be a fall from one corner to the opposite corner of 1-2 meters for the drainage to work. Same as flat roof.
This video gives new meaning to the term "as interesting as watching grass grow"
NFF(Norwegian Football Federation) needs to watch this vid
🤔 Fifa strick about checkered floor, cartoons, movies, music videos, & football pitches 😒.
God watching this video is like watching grass grow 🙄
Groundsmen and women are truly the unsung hero of today's modern game.. massive respect to their dedication..
Very interesting
Why suddenly this video pop up in my feeds👀🙄
Is this because after someone blame the grass for unable to score goals to win a game recently 🤣
FAM could never
I don't care much for the sport, aside from when my country is absolutely represented of course, but this style of video does bridge the gap to peak my interest.
Well done.
I’f I was a manager I’d want to ruin my home pitch and get the players used to it for a slight advantage
