At FC Volendam, where a nature field is being built this summer, they opted for sowing. That club could start the construction earlier, leaving more time to grow the grass well. That is going well, the club says. “It’s already green.”
Just like Telstar, top clubs such as Ajax and PSV play on soden, but then on a so -called Hybrideveld. For example, the PSV grass has also been grown in Noord-Brabant, but it consists of five percent fibers of artificial grass. According to experts, that would ensure more comfort when playing.
Can it attach on time?
As soon as the field has been rolled out at Telstar, it is waiting. The grass needs a few weeks to attach to the bottom. Once that succeeds, the white lines can be drawn.
Is it then exactly on time ready for the first home game against PEC Zwolle on August 15? “It is always good at Telstar,” says Annokkée.
