Wembley 2017/18

Ah. Willing to be corrected on that. I couldn't find details on Hull's site, and the page on the dedicated stadium site was down so I used a general page http://www.football-stadiums.co.uk/
All the clubs' pitch sizes are listed in the Premier League Handbook 2016/17 which you can download from https://www.premierleague.com/publications

15 of the 20 clubs in top flight this season gone had pitches which measured 105 x 68 metres, as specified by the Premier League and UEFA.

WHL was one of only five old stadiums that were unable to comply with new rule due to the proximity of the stands:

White Hart Lane = 100m x 67m
Goodison Park = 100.48m x 68m
Selhurst Park = 101m x 68m
Anfield = 101m x 68m
Stamford Bridge = 103m x 67.5m

However we will no longer have a special exemption when we move to Wembley or the new WHL...

Great, this should make things easier.
We've clearly been performing well already on the size of pitch that shall be used from this point forward.

Ironically enough whilst our record this season on a small WHL pitch has been fantastic, on the small away pitches it has been decidedly crap:

P5 - W1 D1 L3 - GF4-GA7

(We played at Anfield twice this season, League and League Cup)
 
81 days until the start of next season. WTF am I gonna do in the meantime????? :(:eek:

Yep it's that time of year again, when you realise what a sad sack you really are, and to what extent football dominates your life. Suddenly the greater part of of why you would talk to anybody else has gone.

Hibernation, it's the way forward.....
 
Wow! Wolfsburg has really fallen like a stone! Playing play-off to stay up in Bundesliga. Didn't we play them in the CL group stage last time? Or was that Werder Bremen. Anyway, they were a top side just a few years ago.
Too lazy to check but think it was Bremen....

They lost to a 88th minute goal from Hamburg at the weekend and finished behind Mainz on GD. That goal saved Hamburg's streak of never having been relegated since the Bundesliga was founded in 1963.

either that or its the time you realise what a terribly sad and unfulfilling lives people lead who do not like football - seriously it must be like seeing in black and white.
