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

From Arsenal.com:

Q) I know the pitch is bigger at Emirates Stadium, but how much bigger is it than Highbury, and is it now the biggest in the Premiership?

A) The pitch at Emirates Stadium is 105 metres long by 68 metres wide. The old playing surface at Highbury was 100 metres by 66.7 metres. 105m x 68m is the â€˜standardâ€™ UEFA size for a playing surface, Arsenal now has the joint biggest pitch in the Premier League.

Convert this into yards, EPLTalk’s figures are correct.

Arseblogger, where you at?

It may be news to the uninformed but The Cult Manchester Club has always had one of the largest pitches in english football.
Its in the spirit and ethos of our football club.
You had better ask the others on thier philosopy.
We are used to being overlooked, little mention on the best Academy in the country, no mention of our regular award winning pitch or groundstaff either or that this seasons EUFA cup final is being held at the best ground and pitch in the country.
We will just let you sad bastards try to catch up.

lol at Football news you can trust, this site is just like the daily mail or Mirror, pro united, dont make out you are not because you know different. Quite simply pathetic, look how City are made the main attraction in this pityful pathetic article, how sad can you get, oh i forgot you rags have nothing left to attack us with, i suppose having the biggest pitch now makes us cheats or something, are we cheating other teams?, i dont think so, if anyone is its the smallest pitches.

move on.

Most of the sources for the pitch measurements came from the club websites themselves. Point well taken, though. Next time I’ll list the sources so people can see what the information came from.
