SALTEX | Community Sport Zone

EXPANDED FOR 2024

A dedicated zone for volunteer and community sport grounds staff.

The Community Sport Zone will showcase a range of grass pitch maintenance machinery which is of specific interest to grassroots and community football, rugby union, and rugby league clubs - all of which can be purchased through funding schemes.

Following last year's successful launch, we are making the zone even bigger and better this year - it'll even have its own stage!

RECOMMENDED BY GMA PITCH ADVISORS

The machinery on display showcases frequently recommended equipment based on feedback from our Regional Pitch Advisors recommendations in grass pitch reports facilitated through the Football Foundation’s PitchPower web-based app.
