While the pitch at RAMS Park continues to be debated at Galatasaray, the near-perfect appearance of the field drew attention in the match where Fenerbahçe defeated Arca Çorum FK 5-0 away. It was stated that the grass work at the stadiums of Çaykur Rizespor and Çorum FK, as well as those of the four major clubs, was carried out by the same company, while the difference between the appearance of the pitch in Çorum in particular and RAMS Park sparked debate.
While criticism continues over the pitch of RAMS Park at Galatasaray, attention this time turned to Fenerbahçe's match against Arca Çorum FK. In the encounter, which the yellow-navy team won 5-0 away, Çorum FK's field drew attention with its neat and well-maintained appearance. While no image suggesting the pitch deteriorated significantly stood out during the match, the look of the grass in Çorum brought about comparisons with Galatasaray's stadium.
PITCH DREW ATTENTION IN FENERBAHÇE'S 5-0 WIN
Fenerbahçe, playing its first match under Emre Belözoğlu, beat Arca Çorum FK 5-0, and the appearance of the field where the match was played also stood out. It drew attention that the grass at Çorum FK's stadium was cut regularly, green tones were preserved across the field, and the pitch looked quite well maintained.
After the match, which ended in a resounding win for Fenerbahçe, the pitch in Çorum was compared with the problems experienced at RAMS Park. In particular, the differences in color and texture seen in some areas of Galatasaray's field made the distinction between the appearance of the grass at the two stadiums clear.
CLAIM THAT 6 STADIUMS WERE DONE BY THE SAME COMPANY
Another striking detail was the information that the grass work at the stadiums of Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Trabzonspor, Çaykur Rizespor and Çorum FK was carried out by the same company.
In images taken from these stadiums, the pitches displaying different appearances brought maintenance processes in particular to the agenda. While the neat grass appearance at Çorum FK's field drew attention, the reasons for the pitch problems at Galatasaray's RAMS Park began to be discussed again.
PITCH PROBLEM AT RAMS PARK CONTINUES
The pitch of RAMS Park, which hosts Galatasaray's home matches, has been at the center of criticism due to recent problems. While concerns were expressed that field conditions in the yellow-red team's matches could affect players' performance and health, comparisons with the pitches of different stadiums also drew attention.
The well-maintained appearance of Çorum FK's field in the Fenerbahçe match brought the differences between the stadiums said to be worked on by the same company back onto the agenda.
EVEN IF IT IS THE SAME COMPANY, MAINTENANCE CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT
The quality of a football pitch is not determined only by the grass being laid for the first time. Regular maintenance, irrigation, drainage, sunlight, weather conditions and match density also play a determining role in the condition of the pitch.
For this reason, it is possible for fields made by the same company to have different conditions over time. The fact that the grass at Çorum FK's stadium looked quite good in the Fenerbahçe match added a new comparison to the debates about Galatasaray's pitch problems.
