Drought should force football clubs to consider artificial turf – Football pitches require lots of water and energy to maintain. Artificial grass could reduce their environmental impact.
Artificial turf got something of a bad name for itself during the 1980s within the world of English football. Clubs such as Luton Town, Oldham Athletic, Preston North End and Queens Park Rangers all flirted with the technology, but, by the early 1990s, concerns about injuries and unfair disadvantage to the home side saw the return of grass pitches.
But could a revival be on the cards in the English game? Many leagues around the world, across a variety of climates, now use artificial grass. In 2004, Fifa approved the use of artificial grass in international matches. (England were beaten by Russia at the Luzhniki Stadium in a qualifier for Euro 2008 on its “FieldTurf” artificial pitch.) And now the Football League in England is currently holding a consultation – which draws to a close at the end of this month – into whether it should sanction its use.

Nomow has just launched its new Lawns catalogue for the next season. This 20 page full colour guide features its brand new range of realistic, fabulous looking and performing grasses, as well as a range of associated products and services including grass for hire. States Michael Tittershill MD, “We hope we have created an ‘Essential Guide’ to choosing artificial grass, with loads of product information and FAQ’s answered. We hope that the testimonials page speaks for itself, in fact, we could have filled all 20 pages with happy customers!”
Nomow saw its sales increase by almost 40% in April and May compared with last year and despite the recent change in weather bringing much needed rain to Britain’s thirsty gardens and farm fields, June sales are looking to continue this trend.
“It is a fact that the recent rain has come too late for many domestic gardens”, states Michael Tittershill, Managing Director. “Grass may not be completely dead, but once it goes brown, sadly it can be many months before it greens back up. There is no doubt that the Great British public are waking up to the fact that artificial grass is a realistic alternative when real grass doesn’t work. Nomow grasses once laid remain beautiful, rich, green and usable all year round whatever the weather, and without the need for wasteful summer watering!”
March 2011 sees the launch of a brand new range of architectural garden grasses.
“Artificial grasses are not all the same”, states Steve Wright – Operations Manager. “Here at Nomow we operate a rolling product improvement programme and these three new grasses are the result of development work started nearly two years ago.
The brief, to provide improved texture, better natural response to use by owners and pets and enhanced pile structures to produce an even more realistic look”.
The new grasses start with ‘Classic Meadow’ an economical short pile grass ideal for pets. ‘Premier Lawn’ provides a natural, all year round, just mowed effect and top of the range ‘Luxury Plus’ exudes a deep, soft Spring like, recently fed look. More details can be found on the Nomow web site.
There was little rest for Nomow staff over the 2010 Christmas break.

Part of the move sees implementation of a fully integrated stock control system allowing EDI access for larger customers and suppliers; The installation of new ’state of the art’ computer controlled carpet cutting machinery specially imported from Canada, now provides super-fast, accurate grass cutting and packing.

We have not only grown our sales, but grown significantly our customer base both UK and abroad. It proves that good companies, even in these tough economic times can prosper by focussing on quality, value and customer service. It is my aim and that of the whole team to continue with these values and continue to grow Nomow”.

Barry Turner the Halls owner decided that the high maintenance, struggling natural grass simply wasn’t doing his magnificent home the justice it deserved. Nomow was chosen for the supply and installation of a significant area of ‘Orchard’ product in a prominent position. “It was a privilege and a pleasure to work on such a prestigious project”’ Stated Michael Tittershill, Nomow’s’ Managing Director.
