Well we're used to playing at Withdean and that doesn't fit the minimum requirements so I think we'll be fine.

Let's Delap have a longer run-up I spose.

 

[Nottseagull]

Ever since I became interested in the game I've always wondered why all the markings on a pitch have to conform to a standard, yet a pitch can be anything from an elongated oblong or nearly square.

I think you'll find that the Withdean pitch does indeed conform to the minimum requirements.

According to the Football Ground Guide website, Withdean is the same size as Anfield, Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge at 110 x 75 yads

Anyone know what the pitch size will be at the Amex?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Anyone know what the pitch size will be at the Amex?

i believe it was muted to be the same as Wembley which is 115 x 75 yards

Do we have a particularly wide game then? Thought we go through the middle of pitch more often

I think we have a very wide game, that doesn't mean we don't go through the middle though, it just means the players in the middle have more space. If the Stoke pitch is 5 yards narrower then that could make it a little trickier for us but on the other hand its the weaker team who generally prefer to have a narrower pitch and it could help us as the Stoke players will have less space to use their quality.

 

[Everest]

the Stoke players will have less space to use their quality.

I think they may have got used to it by now
