GreenFields UK, the market leader in synthetic turf systems, and Allsports Construction and Maintenance have continued their strategic partnership by providing Alloa Athletic FC with the FIFA accredited 3G and 3D woven artificial turf pitch named GreenFields MX. The installation work is due to start at Alloa Athletic FC at the beginning of May 2016 to be completed in early June 2016.

"Having put our faith in GreenFields and Allsports nine years ago when we laid our existing pitch, we have been so pleased by the advanced sports surface that we have once again selected the same team to provide our new surface for this coming season,” said Mike Mulraney, Chairman at Alloa Athletic FC.

“Despite both club and community use our pitch has continued to perform to the very highest FIFA standards, which made this decision very easy for the Club. The 3D woven GreenFields MX surface stood out as the best on the market and we look forward to another long association with these dedicated companies."

Innovation driven

With 3,000 field installations worldwide and over 300 fields in the UK alone, FIFA Preferred Producer, GreenFields has a portfolio of projects within both professional sports and the education sector and are committed to producing the innovative and technologically advanced synthetic turf systems.

"We are proud to be retaining our relationship with Alloa Athletic FC, who nine years on are replacing their current GreenFields stadium pitch with a new state-of-the-art product using the very latest technologies,” commented Paul Milton, Commercial Director at GreenFields UK.

“The GreenFields MX Trimension is a high quality 3D woven product providing a natural experience for players as well as being highly resilient match after match. Our partner in Scotland, Allsports is a well-known pitch constructor who has already worked on a number of high profile projects alongside GreenFields."

Natural player experience

Alloa Athletic FC has selected the GreenFields MX Trimension product for offering a playing surface that would be both functional and comfortable for players, thanks to its natural look and feel, the company reports. The patented weave technology is said to offer an extremely high tuft bind resulting in clumps of fibres retaining their vertical memory.

This synthetic turf system is designed to offer a long-lasting performance providing a player experience like that of natural grass with excellent ball roll, ball bounce, grip, traction and shock absorption, according to the manufacturer.

Previous installations of GreenFields MX into professional stadiums and first team training grounds include the United Kingdom Arsenal FC Training Ground, Falkirk FC Stadium, Charlton Athletic FC Training Ground- Sparrows Lane Academy and the National Sports Performance Centre at Heriot-Watt University.
