Pitch width?

[jabba]

I thought the Amex pitch width was based on Wembley ie. one of the widest. It looked like vs A.Madrid we had narrowed the pitch. Was it the same vs Man. City? Would have thought with our wide talent, wider would be better?

Thought that pitches looked narrowed at Wembley and at Etihad on TV as well. Is this a trend?

It looked exactly the same to me from WSU. Presumably anyone who sits in the North Stand in line with either corner flag/sideline would be able to confirm?

No it hasn't.

Exhibit A: two seasons ago in the post Shoreham game v Blackburn

Exhibit B:

V Man City this season

No difference at all. Atletico, Bristol and Man City

I thought the pitch was designed to be the same as White Hart Lane so Paul Barber did not feel too homesick.

Apologies. For A. Madrid I was high in East Stand for the first time, must have been the different perspective.

The wide pitch stuff goes back to the Gus days - to help his passing style .
The definite change came when CH arrived- I remember commenting as such to my mate at the time.

CH at his most rebellious there, clearly well OUTSIDE his technical area, going to get a touchline ban if he's not careful

There hasn't been any change to the pitch size as far as I know, in fact it's now bigger than Wembley, as spurs have reduced the width by 1m.

Absolutely no change, still 110 by 75 metres.
