Photosynthesis provides organisms with oxygen, a gas that many living things need. You do take a lot of pride away on what you do. The first year that we had these lights, we won the award for best pitch in the championship. The sciences that we use is predominately biology, we have a variety of measuring tools, we'll measure the moisture, the length of the grass, the hardness of the surface, everything is about producing absolute uniformity. We are looking for just a healthy plant, something that's strong, something that's durable, something that would recover well. The plants struggle to photosynthesise naturally, so we use the lights to effectively synthetically induce the photosynthesis process and create the growth, so it gives the plant a lot of light energy and also some heat as well to encourage growth. The darkest area in this pitch will never see any sunlight. Working inside a stadium, we have a really big shade issue. I'm Nathan Scarff, and I'm the Head Groundsman in Derby County Football Club. We have to have a safe surface so they're not getting injured, missing a shot, costing your team a chance for a win, the chance for a trophy. ![]() It's hugely important these pitches are absolutely pristine for the fans, the spectators, for the players, it's incredibly important. ![]()
