Pitchmark Teams Up with Specsavers and Gary Neville to Rescue the Nation’s Worst Football Pitches
At Pitchmark, we’ve always believed that a great game starts with a great pitch. That’s why we’re proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Specsavers and ex Manchester United defender and football pundit Gary Neville to launch the nationwide campaign: Specsavers Best Worst Pitch.
This initiative sets out to find the worst marked football pitches across the UK. Yes, we’re talking about those faded, wonky, and downright confusing lines that frustrate players, coaches, and fans alike, and give them a much-needed upgrade.
Whether it’s Sunday league sides or grassroots clubs struggling to keep their pitch in shape, we know that poor line markings can have a serious impact on the game. That’s where we come in.
In collaboration with Specsavers, and with the support of Neville, Pitchmark will be equipping 50 lucky football clubs with everything they need to transform their playing surfaces, including:
- 1 x Eco Lite Spray Marker (printed with bespoke Specsavers branding)
- 10 x Edge Bag-in-Box 10L Paint (a season’s supply)
- 1 x Initial GPS Pitch Marking Service to provide the club with accurate markings to follow
- 1 x Bespoke Training Session on how to use the line painting kit referenced above
We’re passionate about precision and proud to support the dedicated volunteers who give up their time to keep grassroots football alive. This campaign is about more than fixing faded lines – it’s about restoring pride to pitches across the country and helping communities play the game they love on a surface they deserve.
Pitchmark’s Marketing Manager, Stephen Adamson, commented: “This is a brilliant opportunity for Pitchmark to give back and support clubs that work tirelessly with limited resources.
“Our founder, Mark Rodman, started the company back in 2010 after experiencing those same challenges himself, so this initiative from Specsavers couldn’t be a more perfect match for us, and we’re thrilled to play our part.
“If you’ve got a pitch that’s been let down by poor markings, now’s the time to tell us your story. We’re here to help bring it back to life.”
Think your club has the worst pitch in the country? We want to hear from you! Simply head over to the Specsavers website and fill out the short questionnaire at the bottom of the campaign page to apply.
