How city could help their own style next season in the premiership
The length of a pitch must be between 100 yards (90m) and 130 yards (120m) and the width not less than 50 yards (45m) and not more than 100 yards (90m).
According to the web (not gospel) cardiff pitch is 110 x 75 yards.
Making the pitch smaller would mean our set pieces and throw-ins would be a lot easier and make our pressing game without the ball slightly easier.
Thoughts?

That's a great idea! I'm very surprised there is so much variation allowed though.. you sure that's right?

Haven't they done that already? I might be mistaken but the pitch definitely looks more narrow these days than it used to.

So a perfect square pitch is allowed. FFS no.
Surely

Not sure thats quite right, I haven't seen many 90m wide pitches about
Re: How city could help their own style next season in the premiership
Further info from http://www.football-stadiums.co.uk/a...he-same-size/:
"Of course one of the other things about a football pitch is that it must maintain its aspect ratio, so to speak, meaning that you’ll never see a pitch that is 90 metres by 90 metres. This may fit in with the minimum and maximum sizes but it wouldn’t keep the ratio correct so it wouldn’t be allowed."
So not possible to have 120 x 45m pitch for example.
EDIT: And never possible to actually have a 50m wide pitch either?

If memory serves, Stoke narrowed their pitch when Rory Delap was launching his throws.

I thought all Premier League pitches have to be the same size these days?

Much of our games seems to take place along the Grandstand touchline either side of the half way line. If the pitch was narrowed the coaches would need to shout louder or walk further.

Kenny hibbit tried this mid 90s. It didn’t work.
