The pitch at Withdean

[Bozza]

I've been reading comments on yesterday's game on Hobnobs (Reading forum) and read this. Is there any truth in it?

Withdean's pitch is illegally narrow (i.e. less than Football League minimum width, although not less than the width stated in the laws of the game), so no there won't be any like it at proper football grounds. The Football League told me that Brighton have special temporary dispensation.

For crying out loud - they were banging on and on about that when we were playing them competitively too. Bless them.

It is to enable legal pichets to fit into available spaces rather than the other way round.

rather sensible IMHO

And it's completely and utterly untrue.
