Watford grass is the greenest in the Premier League

Vicarage Road's Head Groundsman has been awarded with the 2017/18 Grounds Team of the Year

Watford grass is the greenest in the Premier League Vicarage Road's Head Groundsman has been awarded with the 2017/18 Grounds Team of the Year

It's time for Premier League's season awards: a few days ago, for example, Leroy Sané was appointed as Young Player of the Year by the PFA (Professional Footballers Association), while Mohamed Salah won the PFA Player of the Year title. A very original award is the one received from Watford: Grounds Team of the Year 2017/2018.

The credit goes to the Vicarage Road's Head Groundsman, Scott Tingley, and his staff, that succeeding in this singular Hall of Fame to fellow Manchester United. The award will be celebrated with all the fans before of the last Hornets' home match against Newcastle on May 5th. As we know, the turf of the English stadiums are historically an absolute pride for the Premier League: perfectly treated throughout the year, sometimes they're real artworks: we can not think about the creativity of the Leicester King Power Stadium's groundsman, John Ledwidge, able to make new and original patterns.

Recently there has been talking a lot about the wish to increase Vicarage Road's current capacity, as many times said the chairman and chief administrator of the club, Scott Duxbury: the stadium based in the North of London (with an attendance of just 21,000) is penultimate venue for number of spectators in the current Premier League.
