Pitch Recovery in Focus: Meeting the Demands of 2025
The 2024 / 2025 football season presented unprecedented challenges for grounds teams across the UK. Southern England experienced its wettest September since 1918, with ten counties recording their highest rainfall levels on record, leading to widespread flooding and pitch saturation.
Prolonged exposure to such conditions can result in soil compaction, poor drainage, turf thinning, and uneven surfaces, all of which compromise player safety and pitch performance. Grounds teams now face the uphill task of restoring pitches in time for the next campaign, which is no small challenge!

By combining industry-leading products with expert agronomic advice, Sherriff partners with client to rejuvenate their pitches, ensuring optimal playability and resilience throughout the season.
