Any one for Cricket?
Wiki states the following in relation to the size of a football field..........The two goal lines must be between 45 and 90 m (50 and 100 yd) and be the same
length. The two touch lines must also be of the same length, and be between 90 and 120 m (100 and 130 yd) in length. However, in international matches, the goal lines must be between 64 and 75 m (70 and 80 yd) long and the touchlines must be between 100 and 110 m (110 and 120 yd).
Well, look at the picture above. The 10 yard 'tick' is less than halfway to the penalty box, which itself is 44 yards wide, making the width of this pitch I estimate 90 yards wide. With ample run off areas all around the pitch, you felt like you should be watching cricket on this pitch.
The game itself was a great end to end match with chances coming by the minute. Maybe all pitches should be this size!!!!
