UK’s “first 4G playing surface” piloted

Work will soon commence on one of the UK’s first 4G playing surfaces at Bangor City Stadium in North Wales.

The non-infill design – which means there is no need for rubber crumb or other materials to be used on the surface – has been designed to provide a higher level of environmental sustainability and to reduce maintenance requirements. The innovative approach provides an alternative to the current 3G surface which includes rubber-crumb infill seen widely across artificial pitches across the UK.

The pitch is being funded through the Cymru Football Foundation’s Fit-For-Future Facilities Programme and in collaboration with the Grassroots Facility Programme, the Premier League, CPD Dinas Bangor 1876 and Nantporth C.I.C.
