Think people might understate just how much of an advantage that is for us imo Is that perception? Read up that FIFA stipulate 115y x 75y for pitches?

Think people might understate just how much of an advantage that is for us imo It’s amazing how quickly my Scottish clients went from taking the piss over what a shame it was going to be that London would host these games with no England, to now moaning that England get to okay the semi and possibly final, there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e as long as you’re not under/over you’re fine I thought 110-120 yds x 70-80 yds for international games. Most international stadiums are 115 x 75 like Wembley. Certain category pitches can be 130 x 90 and I'm positive I've played on a few of 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
