Premier League pitch dimensions for 2019/20 season

[yerwot?]

Yes, you are totally wrong:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/oct/29/pochettino-pitch-size-does-matter

“Two years ago the Premier League attempted to standardise pitch size. “Unless otherwise permitted by the board, in league matches the length of the pitch shall be 105 metres and its breadth 68 metres,” read rule K21. The next rule, however, states that exceptions are allowed “if it is impossible to comply with rule K21 due to the nature of the construction of the ground”.

Ten Premier League clubs comply perfectly with the 105m x 68m regulations – Arsenal, Aston Villa, Hull, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle, Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea and West Bromwich Albion – although there are only minor differences elsewhere.”

If that link referencing the rule K21 isn’t enough, have some more:

https://www.sportseconomics.org/sports-economics/pitch-size-and-goals-scored

https://www.football-stadiums.co.uk/articles/are-all-football-pitches-the-same-size/ (Though this one goes into great detail, it explains the PL have their own rule towards the bottom of the article)

Oh and if you don't believe those links then read the actual Premier League Handbook:

https://premierleague-static-files....4-edf8a56c23c1/2019-20-PL-Handbook-020819.pdf

It's on page 141 (of the PDF), page 137 of the handbook itself, and I quote:



Note it is now rule K.15 though it was K.21 when first introduced in 2012.

I’d already quoted the exact rule. Don’t know why you continued being wrong after that, nor why you were so aggressive about it with me and denislaw, especially 'calling matron', very odd.

somehow, this feels likes a public execution........

 

[SWP's back]

My apologies and yes you are both correct.I certainly wasn`t aware of that ruling and certainly no-one in my local knew about this.

No worries fella. Happens to the best of us.

Where did you get these figures from?
As far as I understand all prem league pitches have to be the same size unless special dispensation has been given.

I thought this was the case too?

Nah,I was totally wrong and have since apologised to all parties.
