Comments

  • The Valley is shown as 112 x 73 yards on Wiki the upgrade takes us to 114 x 77 we'rebigger than Man U too.
  • That's very wide, is the extra width on both sides, as the East side is bordered by a rather hard and unforgiving concrete wall which you really wouldn't want to hit!
  • You can't have a square pitch, league rules are:

    13.1 The dimension of the field of play for all League organised matches shall be as follows:

    Maximum length 120yds (110 metres)

    Minimum length 110yds (100 metres)

    Maximum width 80yds (75 metres)

    Minimum width 70yds (64 metres)

    Don't want to sound ungrateful but wish they'd done the west upper this summer. Only thing letting the ground down at the moment.

    the toilets in the West Lower are a disgrace, will report on the East Stand one's after Saturday. Alright making the ground look nice for the camera's etc but other things are just as important.

    Go in, have a wee, wash hands, get out. Simple.
    Why were they a disgrace ? Urinals and sinks seemed fine. Didn't go in the traps.

  • Bigger pitch than Wembley? Anyone else worried about the impact for us in the playoff final?

  • If this rain carries on we will find out how well the pitch is going to handle it, it did look good under a bit of rain on Tuesday but lets see if Saturday goes ahead

    I know for a fact the pitch is doing it job, the club have be measuring the rain fall on the pitch and whilst the car park flooded you could hear the water draining away and was perfectly playable

  • It'd just be nice, if for one week part of our ground wouldn't flood

    Is that where the fishing boats come in and drop off their catch for the Fish and chips?

    We now have a waterfall on the pitch? RD really has surpassed himself with these ground upgrades :)
  • The water from the pitch has to go somewhere, there's just no pleasing some folk. ;)

    Forget about the pitch did anyone else see the two worldy's handing out fixture list and season ticket info out side the west stand before the game

    Best bit of investment in years well done Roland you sly dog :)


    Anyone got any pics of this ?

  • That's very wide, is the extra width on both sides, as the East side is bordered by a rather hard and unforgiving concrete wall which you really wouldn't want to hit!

    They made it 10 yards wider on the west and moved the lines in 3 yards on the east.. 8 yards towards the coverd end and 2 yards away from the away fans. I think it helps with acoustics too

    10 yards wider on the west side, that's a massive shift? And would the 8 yards towards the Covered end affect sightlines there?

    Only slightly, they stretched out the corner towards block A too.

    Ah that explains why I was no longer able to see the player taking the corner on the left even when standing up in Block B of the covered end lower and I'm 6'2"!... Thought that were summation strange there...
