STIGA Robot Mowers: Taking the Pressure off Sports Grounds, One Perfect Pitch at a time

Supporting Sports Grounds Across the Country

Following on from the success of our We Care, You Care campaign, the STIGA UK team has spent the last six months proudly supporting both professional and grassroots sports clubs across the country.

From community pitches to high-profile arenas, our goal remains the same: to take the pressure off groundskeepers and volunteers by delivering smart, sustainable solutions that keep turf in peak condition.

From Manchester Rugby Club to Great Yarmouth Racecourse, an increasing number of clubs are turning to STIGA’s autonomous mowers to take the pressure off volunteers and groundskeepers, without compromising on results.

Reliable Performance, Even When You’re Not Watching

At Manchester Rugby Club, a bustling, volunteer-run organisation serving over 400 players each week, keeping pitches in top condition was a massive task. With the installation of STIGA robots — affectionately named Mow Marler and Cutney Lawns — two of their most heavily used pitches are now autonomously maintained.

The result?

Consistently short, healthy turf, clean lines, and no more worrying about last-minute prep before a game or training session. Volunteers are freed up to focus on other priorities, and the club's pitches have never looked better.

“The difference is night and day,” said a club representative.

“The robots keep everything trimmed just right, and the turf quality has noticeably improved. It's an upgrade that’s saving us time while raising our standards.”

Across the Country, Clubs Are Seeing the STIGA Difference

And it’s not just in Manchester. STIGA robotic mowers are now delivering professional results at:

• Twinstead Cricket Ground
• Trowbridge Rugby Football Club
• Great Yarmouth Racecourse
• Stanstead Hall Cricket Club
• Saint Ishmael's Sports Ground
• Balsall & Berkswell Rugby Club
• Maldon & Tiptree FC

…with many more clubs scheduled for installations this year.

Each location presents unique challenges — from large stadium pitches to multi-use training grounds — but STIGA’s intelligent mowing technology adapts effortlessly.

With GPS-RTK navigation, all-electric power, and whisper-quiet operation, these robots deliver precision cutting day and night, rain or shine.

A Win for Clubs, Groundskeepers & the Environment

Beyond the performance benefits, STIGA robots are part of a smarter, more sustainable future for grounds care.

No fuel. No emissions. Just consistent, eco-friendly mowing with minimal disruption.

Whether it's reducing the strain on volunteers, keeping pitches pristine all week long, or simply cutting back on the noise and fuel costs of traditional mowers — STIGA robotic mowers are proving to be a true asset for sports clubs across the UK.
