Testimonial
I did all the research into various options (7No companies I recall in total, including inflatables (air domes - which I stressed to the club was not the answer) After visiting several projects done by Collinson and another supplier, my preference was the Collinson system. In terms of size, and having seen both Collinson projects at Bristol Bears and University of South Wales it was obvious to me that a full size pitch over a half or ¾ had to be the decision. On this I was 100 percent right. Cost wise Collinson were more expensive than the other supplier, however I made several calls to a number of other clubs and their project managers, the recommendations was Collinson and your system. I advised the club to proceed with yourselves. If I were to do another project, the answer would be the same, Collinson.
