Heard the commentators say the pitch had been re laid to comply with soccer regulations

looks to me like the length of the rugby pitch has been reduced as can be seen from the pitch markings

Also the touchline are now astro turf.

The in goal area looks smaller as well

Sad state of affairs when a stadium built for the whole sporting community of Hull is being hijacked by soccer

I believe it's a Feng Shui thing to try and attract Chinese investors.

We put in the dryer on too high a setting unfortunately.

it's very frustrating to say the least

Whos actually confirmed its smaller? Cos the astro turf at the ends has replaced a tarmac patch that was or looked the same size?

the 30 to the 40 is no longer a full 10 metres. In goals shorter too

aasuming the mower lines are 5 metres each then the pitch has shrunk to 90 metres. Retrograde step IMO and needs sorting

sky commentators said the in goal area's were narrow but i can't say that i noticed much difference.

This ^^^^^ +1 a million times


Thought fc mouth pieces were on the case

Deffo shorter, by approx. 6 metres. Sad times and the Council should step in and make sure it's sorted!

Looked about 8 at the south end and 6 or 7 at the north. Terrible

Anyone notice the puffball marking were already on, they not even played yet.

But this did help spot the size, last year the try line was the goal line, now the goal line is the deadball line

I was amazed last home game that certain posters on here was questioning whether the pitch size had been reduced or not. It's blindly obvious to a simpleton! Really annoying, and I can't see how we're allowed to have such a tiny in goal area.

It's about time the PA system was sorted out too.

And as for the goal-posts,who the hell gave permission for those toy town versions.

Pretty much everyone else agreed it had been shortened.

Yet people are still "demanding" "confirmation"

Really? Where?

Here Kosh

Why do people need "confirmation"?

As Raggy said "a blind simpleton"

Not a demand.

Try again.

now now darling

people are still asking for confirmation, when its clear. A blind simpleton can see.

Maybe those who dont attend need confirmation

Nice try, but I've never asked for confirmation. And anyone with either FC Live or Sky has had a better view of the ground than someone in it in any case.

One person asked if it had ever been confirmed. He did not 'demand confirmation' as you stated. No amount of back-tracking is going to change that fact. Sweetheart.
