City lose "unwanted record" to Sheff United

[Vic]

i was gutted when we lost the tallest floodlights record and the widest pitch one too.

Aren't they still records even with Maine Road demolished?

Leeds had taller floodlights at one point so that went, we had the widest pitch in the prem at CoMS until they standardised the widths and we used astroturf around the edges.

Gives Pep a record to aim for next season.............

The 1930–31 season was Manchester United's 35th season in the Football League. At the end of the season, United finished last in the league and were relegated to the Second Division, having won just seven games all season and lost all of their opening 12 fixtures.

Apologies not PL

Along with the lowest average gate in the division of just over 11k which was lower than Grimsby Town.

Wasn’t the tallest floodlights an urban myth? Leeds United had the tallest.

They did indeed... ‘cos City are a massive club. According to this (and other articles), last season we had the largest pitch, however Leeds now have the largest pitch.

Are Premier League Pitches The Same Size?

No. Premier League football pitch dimensions are recommended to be roughly 115x74 yards (105x68 metres). See the biggest and smallest pitches here.

They standardised pitch and even grass lengths 4.5 years ago, bar the clubs with pitches smaller the standard like Liverpool Everton and Chelsea, so not sure what they measure now.

At 250ft high, the tallest floodlight pylons in Europe - Leeds U****d's Elland Road.

It's a long way to go and see Blackpool Tower.

I reckon our record of the lowest goals scored at home under Pearce and Beanie is safe.
