Pitch size

Post by PremierLeagueClass » Wed Jul 13, 2022 7:56 pm

Are we likely to see a much bigger pitch this season (and shorter grass)?. Weren’t we right on the limit for both under Dyche?

The pitch sizes are pretty standard in the PL, barring 5he odd exception. According to this source we were roughly in the middle last season.

They are all declared in the PL handbook at start of the season along with the strips.

If Dyche couldn't push it, nobody can.

We're not under Dyche either, and point your man was making was that Dyche had small pitches. I merely pointed out they were average.

We had to sell Martin Dobson to build the stand.

Turf Moor is the same size as Anderlecht had last season.
