About Oldham Cricket Club
Oldham Cricket Club is the principal club in the borough, with a large ground that hosts league cricket at a high standard. Managing such a prominent facility requires a comprehensive grounds maintenance programme, and the club relies on expert servicing to keep its fleet of mowers, strimmers, and ride-on equipment performing at their best.
Oldham Cricket Club is the flagship venue in the borough, hosting league cricket at a standard that demands consistently high-quality pitch preparation. The large ground requires a comprehensive fleet of machinery, from precision cylinder mowers for the square to a ride-on for the substantial outfield. Located in the Oldham urban area, the ground sits on loam soil that produces good surfaces but needs active management to cope with the borough's higher rainfall compared to central Manchester. The collection service provided by PGT Repairs bridges the eight-mile distance effectively, particularly for the heavier ride-on equipment that the club relies on for outfield management.
Seasonal Grounds Maintenance for Oldham Cricket Club
Spring
A full-scale pre-season programme befitting the borough's principal club: thorough scarification, precision overseeding, and a structured fertiliser and rolling schedule for the large square.
Summer
Heavy fixture demand across senior and junior teams requires a disciplined mowing schedule. The ride-on and cylinder mowers accumulate significant hours, necessitating regular mid-season servicing.
Autumn
Comprehensive renovation of the large playing area with hollow-core aeration, top-dressing, and overseeding. The collection service transports heavier equipment to PGT Repairs for post-season maintenance.
Winter
Full fleet servicing during the off-season, including engine overhaul on the ride-on and regrinding of all cylinder mower blades. Equipment is stored in the club's dedicated machinery shed.
