Nice Flak... I knew there were size requirements on a pitch I just never knew what they were.... I do know that Highbury was well known to be narrower then most pitches (within the limits set though) Apparently this favoured Arsenal's style of play... |

Funnily enough, thats kinda why i was asking. Had seen that Hull Ctiys pitch was only 105 x 68 (7140) and thought that it was very small. |

There is also the difference in meters and yards... A yard is slightly shorter then a meter.... and anyway I hope the stats sort of answered your question... |
