Wasn’t it confirmed that they were actually doing something to the corners because they were too tight? MK posted the article a few pages back.
Making the pitch smaller and increasing the distance between the stands and pitch aren't they?Wasn’t it confirmed that they were actually doing something to the corners because they were too tight? MK posted the article a few pages back.
so without wishing to throw fuel on the fire of what has become a very sensitive topic, I posted an article that Matt Law from the Torygraph that I get sent by email which mentioned the pitch being resized due to limitations around taking corners, but I've not seen it mentioned in any other news outlets or on the web anywhere.Wasn’t it confirmed that they were actually doing something to the corners because they were too tight?

Only two things not quite right in my eyes. The two smaller walls of the South stand that join East and West stands should be lower or at least glass panels?Chris Colwin’s latest YouTube video from NWHL...
The pitch should be between 60-90 meters wide and 90 to 120 meters length, although it cannot be 90x90. But 105x68 has become the "standard" size. Ours is the same as wembley which is 105x69, so we can just make it 1 meter narrower to get "standard" pitch size and get 0,5 meters of extra run up on each side. Not much of a difference really, but it was sufficient as it was, so it would make it a tad better.so without wishing to throw fuel on the fire of what has become a very sensitive topic, I posted an article that Matt Law from the Torygraph that I get sent by email which mentioned the pitch being resized due to limitations around taking corners, but I've not seen it mentioned in any other news outlets or on the web anywhere.
My initial concerns about the corner are pacified with the pics of other grounds, I guess it's something I'd never really paid attention to before. If we are resizing the pitch I thought there was a minimum size for new stadium so perhaps we won't beyond it just to take the sidelines as close to the front row as possible?

Yeah, looks like they have been making the flat area a bit biggerIt definitely seems like they are doing something to the corners in Cowlin’s latest video. And I guess the reason they put that tidbit in the email you received is because it’s not massively interesting news to anyone, even Spurs fans - hence the massive eye roll whenever it gets mentioned in this thread - but it seems like they are indeed doing something to the corners to make it easier to take them, which is all I was ever saying would be nice to see in the first place.

I'll refrain from making any cynical comments about making unreasonably ambitious pitch distance targets to start with.
Is there any way that we can ban mentioning of corners on this forum? I am struggling to think of a conversation about them that hasn't become cyclical and pointless.

As Bedford said, the rules were changed in 2012 so everyone who can do so must have a pitch measuring 105x68 metres if they want to play in EPL or UEFA competitions...The pitch should be between 60-90 meters wide and 90 to 120 meters length, although it cannot be 90x90.

so there’s a clear permission caveat in there and a construction fudge up clause.As Bedford said, the rules were changed in 2012 so everyone who can do so must have a pitch measuring 105x68 metres if they want to play in EPL or UEFA competitions...

If anything wouldn’t it be further because of the technical areas?Is the pitch nearer the seats on the dugout side? - The actual playing surface.
I think someone doctored this for the London stadium and replaced ‘pitch’ with ‘technical area’. At least they could ignore the whole UEFA sectionAs Bedford said, the rules were changed in 2012 so everyone who can do so must have a pitch measuring 105x68 metres if they want to play in EPL or UEFA competitions...

That's what I thought, but looking at the various pictures I could find it seemed marginally nearer on the dugout side and closest behind the goals. Although it wasn't easy to tell.If anything wouldn’t it be further because of the technical areas?
Corners aren't pointless.
