You need land drainage to protect your investment, if you are going to run working sports facility of any kind. Kestrel Contractors have proven expertise in offering land drainage along with sports ground construction and sports pitch renovation services.
If
you run any kind of sporting concern in the British Isles – a golf club or any
other kind of outdoor sporting arena – then you will know already that there is
one thing and one thing more than any other that affects your business- the
weather. Britain is one of the wettest places in the world, and in a peculiarly
British manner (we have, it seems, always been fond of making life difficult
for ourselves) holds most of its major sporting seasons through the period of
the year when the ground is likely to be the wettest of all. Decent sports land drainage is the only way you can
be sure that your playing surfaces will be up to scratch in the right season,
no matter what the British weather throws at you. And in a year when every
penny counts almost one quarter as much again as it used to, having good
drainage in place really could mean the difference between profit and loss.
The
thing is, it is not just the odd weekend where a game is rendered unplayable
due to the condition of the pitch that loses you money. If your pitch, or your
facilities, experience one or two occasions throughout a season where the
playing surface is not good enough, then your whole enterprise starts to get a
reputation for not being able to supply the right kinds of pitch for the sport
in question. Without professional land
drainage in place you may only have to call off a couple of fixtures, or
close a few pitches one or two times: but those isolated incidents are enough
to drive the paying public away in droves. And once the paying public starts
staying away, it is very difficult to get it back.
If
you run any kind of facility where a local team plays regular fixtures, the
state of your pitch or pitches is of paramount importance. It is the fans that
create the revenue, in lower league sports – and if your pitch or pitches is or
are not in good condition every week, you will experience a drop in gate
figures as people move away to find a new team to watch. Land drainage can be critical in retaining a hard core of faithful
fans to provide ticket revenue: no one wants to watch a team playing on a poor
pitch, which can seriously affect the quality of a game.
Whatever
part of the sports industry you might happen to occupy, the bottom line is the
same. Your pitch and your playing surface is your money. If you do not have an
adequate playing surface, then the games and sports you are set up to provide
access to cannot happen. And that means lost revenue, and eventually defeat.
You need land drainage more than you
need anything else because you need a pitch that works properly, all year
round, if you are going to make money through providing the service you are
trying to provide.
This
is basic common sense, really. Get yourself a good land drainage solution and
protect your investment.
