Actually The Britania has a greater playing area than Arsenel , Slumberland , Man City and Manure.

I read a comment of someone saying, “am I being naive, or is 3 yards really a difference?” Well ofcourse it is.. You are not talking about 3 yards in one area of the field being longer. You are talking about 3 yards wider say for a 115 yard long pitch. That’s a huge difference. That’s how you must look at it. Think of how many more people you could sit in those 3 yards around the entire pitch.

Utter nonsense, I have just had someone point this article out to me, and I can confirm that COMS as well as about 3/4 of the Premier League are all the same @ 105×68 metres, given I am a groundsman at MCFC I would say I am better placed than the author to confirm dimensions. It has always been that measurement since we moved there, the last time the pitch was measured in yards was our final year at Maine Road, when it measured 116.5 yards x 78 yards.

Get the facts right before printing lies next time please.

Highbury & Emirates are virtually the same. 4 yards is hardly virtually the same. It’s like saying Arsenal & Portsmouth are virtually neighbours because they’re in the south.

I have great doubts about your stats.

The Times has dimensions of all of the Premier League pitches and they are nothing like yours.

Murdock may be a twat but I’m going with him on this one.

U’ve got the pitch dimensions totally wrong son.
105x68m (115x75yds)….Arse, Man City, Sunderland & Man Utd.
115x74yds….Villa, ‘boro, Reading
116x72yds&2′…Blackburn
113x74yds…Chelsea
111x74yds..Liverpool
112x75yds..Everton
111x72yds..Bolton
110x75yds..Wigan, Hull..play RL on the grounds
110x72yds..Pompey
110x70yds..Stoke & Fulham, postage sized piches that allow Stoke to play their dross football & Fulham used to have a 115x75yds pitch but they built extra seating around the touchlines by stealing space from the playing area.

How long was Doncaster Roves football field

Hello Everyone

I would like to know is it true that the pitch sizes varies
from one club to another?
Dont they have a standard size to adhere to ?

I am kind of puzzle by the width and length of the pitches
What is the control factor v the standard size? Could you englighten me as this is something new, I presume all playing fields were same only the stadium capacity was different! I have been following football for more than 30 years … This a discovery

Could u enrich my foot ball platform on this matter

Thank you for your cooperation

Regards
Rouvy

im quite suprised at blackburn being third , we do have a nice big and excellent playing surface at ewood park, didnt expect it to be the third biggest
