Sure does, always think that's the best angle for a pic! Wish they'd make new players walk round to the SE corner for their pic!steveizz said:A nice picture taken this afternoon. Looks Premiership quality.

Its at the very maximum allowed.Showmetheway2gohome said:Don't no if any one else has mentioned it but looks like they've made pitch bigger. Looks closer to advertising boards and stand. Must be for the free flowing passing football we are going to play this season.

I very much doubt that. I think it was 72 yards wide and the max is 100 .stonewallpenalty said:

Cue somebody to find out later in the season that our pitch is 2cm too long and all our wins up to that point are invalid...1

Probably looks bigger/closer to stands as the whole pitch is now higher, means there is less of a drop from the front of the stands to pitch level and therefore less of a visual gap from pitch edge to front row of seats.0

I don't doubt that. But not 28 or so yards wider as stonewall was suggesting.sammy391 said:

It's probably wider by 4-6 yards as the linesmans running area is now playing surface with the old red track now the AstroTurf the linos run on.0 -
Fair enough. I meant its as big as we can get it at the Valley. Thought i read it somewhere.paulbaconsarnie said:

On this thread forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/1920177#Comment_1920177 Seth said it was 4 yards wider and two yards longer so that makes it 114 yards x 77 yards I think.0

I was told that supporters in the front rows of all stands will pay a premium on their tickets as they are now closer to the action.

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

The length of a pitch must be between 100 yards (90m) and 130 yards (120m)cafcfan said:On this thread forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/1920177#Comment_1920177 Seth said it was 4 yards wider and two yards longer so that makes it 114 yards x 77 yards I think.
The width not less than 50 yards (45m) and not more than 100 yards (90m).
That is a lot of variation in size... you could by those rules have a square pitch? 100 yards x100 yards?
That would be horrible unless you're a winger!2 -
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.CAFCdamo said: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.

I was going to say the same, a practically square pitch wuld still be horrid.

Wembley, by comparison is 115 yards x 75 yards. So in sq yards, The valley pitch is now bigger.2

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.0

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!0

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)
