FOOTBALL Real Madrid Football Club

2018 UEFA
CHAMPIONS
LEAGUE
WINNER

County Turf are very proud to announce that we have supplied and
successfully installed the first ever HERO Hybrid Grass pitches in Spain
at the world renowned Real Madrid Football Club, UEFA Champions
League winner 2017 and 2018.
Paul Burgess, Real Madrid’s Head Groundsman, spent many months
analysing the different hybrid systems available to the industry. After
much consideration Paul selected HERO Hybrid Grass.
“I chose HERO Hybrid Grass over other vertical fibre systems, because
of its superior bio mechanical performance in relation to surface
hardness, as well as the ease and success it provides at renovation. It is
also a long-term system, because the vertical fibres are anchored, and
the open backing suffers very little to no damage from vertical aeration.
With HERO Hybrid Grass superseding other vertical fibre systems in the
marketplace, it became our surface of choice. We are all very satisfied
with the system and the club are already planning to increase the
amount of HERO Hybrid Grass in our training facility for 2018.”
Paul Burgess, Head Groundsman, Real Madrid CF.
So with the decision made, installation was planned for the two 1st team
training pitches at the club’s Valdebebas training facility and one pitch
at the stadium Alfredo de Stefano, which is Real Madrid’s show piece
stadium venue, home to their second team and also their UEFA Youth
League venue.
“We started our installation at Real Madrid in the middle of May.
We loaded up all of our equipment on a cloudy day in North Lincolnshire
and excitedly ventured to Spain to begin the installation. HERO Hybrid
installation takes precision planning, and schedules were drawn up prior
to works with Real Madrid FC as organisation was crucial. Once one of
our teams had finished sewing the next team moved on to infilling with
sand. For a change it wasn’t our product that needed watering – just our
team who were not used to working in wall to wall sunshine and over
35 degrees heat!”
Chris Medley, Operations Director, County Turf.
After only two and a half weeks of hot work, our installation process was
completed at one of the biggest clubs in the world and the results have
been fantastic. On 5th August, UEFA Champions Real Madrid winners
returned back to training. They utilised pitches 1 & 2 and the player and
coaching staff feedback is that everyone is elated with the new surface.
