Quote ="Rogues Gallery"Bradford isn't a huge pitch, it's nowhere near maximum size.'"
Correct in that it is not "huge". Just looks that way from being sat in the bottom of the huge bowl. But as for "nowhere near", well here are the facts so you can judge:
Odsal is 97.2m by 65m, with 6m in-goal areas.
The "standard" pitch, that more teams have than any other size, is 100m by 68m, with 6m-8m in-goal areas.
That makes Odsal 2.8m shorter than "standard" and 3m narrower than "standard", and just under 93% of the area of a "standard" pitch.
