It is the policy of our landlords BRIO & endorsed by NRUFC for heath and safety reasons that NO DOGS are allowed on any of the grounds at Moss Farm, irrespective of whether this is the pitch or the surrounding areas. Dogs faeces can stay in the soil for years and, if a cut gets infected, it can cause serious problems. Dog faeces transmit disease. Faeces can also be a vector for transmitting certain diseases between dogs and people (Salmonella, Campylobacter etc). The eggs of roundworms, for example, are passed in the faeces of dogs and can survive in the soil for many years - regardless of weather extremes. If the eggs are accidentally ingested, the worms can cause serious neurological, pulmonary and vision problems.
