FC Dordrecht closed an attractive deal that includes a guarantee that its new pitch can be taken up and re-laid at the new ground. The maintenance and rent costs have also been substantially cut. This threefold advantage won the club over. “We can now use our main field for all matches played by the first team and the reserves as well as for training seven days a week. Another factor that played a role is that, last season, we had to reschedule a number of matches to take place on a Monday because of bad weather. This is less likely to happen with artificial grass.”
The product is the tufted Evolution XQ. GreenFields convinced the CED (the cooperative organisation representing all the football clubs in the Dutch First League) of the high quality of its products. TenCate Grass and GreenFields already successfully introduced its artificial grass system in the Dutch Premier League in the summer of 2012.
