North Riding County Football Association is delighted to announce a new partnership with facility maintenance specialists Replay, which will provide huge benefits for facilities within the region.

Replay specialise in synthetic sport surface maintenance, including emergency repairs and rejuvenation, and possess extensive knowledge across a vast range of playing surfaces.

Through the new partnership with North Riding FA, facilities within North Yorkshire and Teesside will be able to access Replay’s services at a discounted rate, whilst operators of the county’s facilities will also be eligible to attend training and CPD opportunities.

Facilities will also benefit from a pool of information and advice, with an expert from Replay on hand at the time they are required; whether it be initial professional grounds training or budgets and forecasts, North Riding FA’s partnership with Replay caters for all aspects of managing and maintaining a synthetic sports pitch.

Andy Clay, Football Development Manager at North Riding FA, said: “We are very pleased to be working with Replay, as we look to enhance the ways we support our affiliated clubs and facilities within the region. This partnership with Replay will extend support to any artificial pitches within the county. Maintenance of artificial pitches is key to ensuring the lifespan and quality remains at a high standard – but we’re aware of the financial implications maintenance has. We hope that our partnership with Replay aids this and ensures support is constantly on hand.”

Gary Martin, Director of Replay, added: "We are extremely proud to now be associated with North Riding FA and look forward to continuing to deliver support to grassroots football. We have enjoyed a positive working relationship with multiple counties across the country and we are pleased to be able to expand the service. With the major investment from The FA and the Football Foundation in 3G pitches, we hope our knowledge can really help pitch owners to operate and provide some of the best facilities in the country.”
