What footwear can be used on the 3G pitch?

Footwear can significantly impact our 3G pitch, helping to prevent injury, improving the player experience and protecting the surface.

 

Designed specifically for football, the pitch at Victoria Park has a long pile turf that gives a realistic grass feel whilst also being able to withstand heavy use. To keep the pitch in peak condition, players must use boots with studs to stop the fibres from becoming compressed and damaging the surface.

For the 3G surface at Victoria Park, the following boots are permitted:

· Artificial Grass (AG) footwear – small, short studs that are hollow or specially moulded

CAN I WEAR BLADES ON THE PITCH?

No, bladed boots are prohibited on our surface, as they can cut through the synthetic turf causing serious damage. However, they aren’t the only boots that are unacceptable; the following footwear is prohibited at Victoria Park:

· Bladed boots

· Boots with metal studs

· Flat-soled training shoes

· Astro trainers You can learn more about Victoria Park’s world-class 3G pitch here, and for more information about our ‘Boot Locker’ scheme, in partnership with Aztec Group, click here.
