Our pitch size

[Jakey]

Ultra boring, I know, but does anyone know what our exact pitch size is these days, as it seems to have got a lot smaller over the years.

I read somewhere that it was now the smallest in the league.

I wonder if it's part of the reason why we can sometimes struggle to break sides down, as it makes it easier for teams to just sit in and close off space.

The lack of width at times is frightening.

110 x 75 yards

[disco]

There are teams with 70 yard width.

[Jakey]

That can't be right. 75 yards wide sounds way too much.

I've looked it up myself and there seem to be contrasting sizes. The most common is 110x72, which is tiny.

The Emirates is 120 yards long.

Can you copy and paste what it says, please...

[Jakey]

Says on that link that SJP is the same length as ours. That's wrong for a start, their pitch is huge.

I think Disco was tongue in cheek. Or was it just a typo.

Didn't mean to take the piss mate. Thought he genuinely made the tongue in cheek comment.

I found it was funny too but I thought Disco had just mangled his sentence.

PS fredo, it's "OFF the top of my head", btw.

[Jakey]

The Reebok pitch is massive. Don't sound right them.

The angle and height of the TV cameras will have a big effect on their relative dimensions to the viewer
