Has Our Pitch Been Narrowed?

Postby King Kev » Sat Oct 06, 2012 5:10 pm

It looked that way to me. There seemed to be a bigger gap between the pitch and the advertising hoardings. Also the half-way line looks as though it used to go beyond where it ends now and hasn't been fully rubbed out.

If it has been narrowed, does this mean bad news for Sinclair?

Cheers.

Admittedly only watching on tv but the artificial grass abutted the normal grass next to the sidelines so unless they moved that as well I don't think so KK.

isn't there a new rule about all the pitches being the same size?

They're all a standard size from this season in the league - not sure if we alter it for Chump's league games though.

noticed this change without connecting what it meant. I think it is a pile of poo and am determined to write to someone about it. Why do we need all pitches the same ffs? what a pile of shite.

Isn't it to stop Stoke from cheating with their long throws.

Wouldn't a narrow pitch make it better for them?

they already had a narrow pitch. In fact, they had the narrowest in the premier league. I'm assuming now it's wider?
