Not wanting to wish the summer away but we are moving in to autumn and Grimshaw are now supplying a range of boot wipers and scrapers.

They effectively help remove the worst of the mud from boots to facilitate cleaning and also help minimise any changing room clean up.

If you have an artificial pitch then we recommend a boot wiper so that mud from surrounding areas is not tracked on to the pitch.

The FST Playmaker Portable Ball Machine launch. 

We are delighted to introduce this excellent new product.   

A rugged and reliable product, complete with heavy duty towing wheels, a heavy-weight metal chassis and dense, high-impact, one-piece, moulded case with reversible hopper. 

A towing handle that can be easily adjusted to a comfortable towing height, all finished in a gloss black finish makes for a very attractive piece of kit that competes in the ‘looks’ department with all its competition.

Ball capacity, speeds, spins, feed interval, and elevation are comparable to the competition complete with vertical and horizontal oscillation and the 2-line drill.  However, this new contender not only allows you to adjust the overall width or depth of oscillation from narrow to wide, it offers variation on the oscillation speed to give the player a greater number of shot options.

All these features are contained on a very well presented control panel on the reverse complete with LED display and touch sensitive buttons to give a sophisticated appearance.

Each machine is equipped with a compact 6-function remote control and a ‘smart’ 6A intelligent battery charger as standard.  A 12V 20Ah battery provides a minimum of 2 hours usage and is housed in a unique ‘tray’ which makes replacement or maintenance extremely easy.

A 2 year guarantee is offered

ps.  I just couldn’t resist the picture!

Did you know that not all football pitches are the same size? 

They vary between 100–110 m length and 64–75 m width  for international adult matches and for non-international matches 91–120 m length by 45–91 m width, as long as the pitch does not become square!

In 2008, the IFAB set a fixed size of 105 m long and 68 m wide as a standard pitch dimension for A international matches.  So whilst it would seem there are some issues with some of the pitch conditions for the World Cup there are all at least the same size.
