Pitch Size at new stadium?
|
|
Does anyone know what the dimensions of the new pitch will be at the OS?
The Boleyn was one the smallest pitches in the Premiership at
110 yards x 70 yards. (2013)
Man City the largest 116.5 yards x 78 yards.
The maximum dimensions 130 yards x 100 yards
What should we go for to suit our style?
What are we getting?

I'm sure it'll come down to Bilic? He'll have a huge say.

Unlike the Boleyn ground the pitch at the OS will be of sufficient size to allow qualifying international matches to be staged. Don't be surprised to see the stadium being used in the future for CL or EL finals either.

The PL are trying to standardise pitch sizes so it'll be that I expect.
There's a Daily Mail article about it but I can't be bothered to post it up here again I'm afraid.
You think the England team will play qualifiers there forgoing the FA revenue at Wembley comma? Ha ha ha ha.

The size of the pitch is down to the LLDC. We are only the tenants.

Having read the article (thanks Charley)
105 m x 68 m (115 yds x 74 yds ) looks likely
Considerably bigger than Boleyn
Will it suit?

Why would the landlords determine the size of the pitch, they are the landlords not the groundsmen?

Spot on, the manager chooses the dimensions of the pitch (within the parameters) based on the style of football he wants to play at home.
LLDC chooses it? Laughable comment.

Aren't we supposed to be standardising to UEFA specs?

Pitch size will increase along with goal posts I assume, could be good news for our strikers who can't seem to find the net.

UEFA/ FIFA standard which is 105 × 68 I think. You can have it wider and longer but then you'd have be playing on both grass and fully synthetic on the bits that overlap the running track.

According to official site....
The pitch will be five metres longer and four metres wider than the Boleyn Ground, identical to the size of Wembley

The LLDC will decide on the size of the GRASS. Bilic will decide on the size of the markings on the grass, which constitutes the PITCH.

I recall Stoke used to change the width of their pitch depending on who they were playing. i.e. If a decent footballing team were travelling up to Stoke, they made the pitch narrower.
