when do we expect to be given the results?
Think it takes a few minutes, if it turns blue then yes, if it turns red then no....;)
If it does fail will George have to go back to England? :(
Not enough space between it and the hordings, I think.Quote:

So does United Park meet these dimensions?
The minimum size of the playing area is therefore:
• Width 68.5 m (75 yds)
• Length 104.5 m (115 yds)
Heh, since it's just down the road from me I might end up at more Rovers than Youths games! :eek:Quote:

I've searched for details on DUFC's pitch size but can't find any. I certainly recall plenty of stuff from DUFC themselves on why United Park couldn't be used for the premier without the derogation due to the new ground and these included space issues.
It was extended 2 years ago. Still no idea what the size is.Quote:

1.0 That's the same chairman that said at the same meeting that none of the Directors were involved in the Stadium relocation for the money and they had only the interests of DUFC at heart!!Quote:

and finally
3.0 I would have been of the opinion that United Park had one of the best playing surfaces. Did you see the state of the surface on Tuesday evening? If its like that before the start of the season what will it be like next October. It appears that pitch maintenance work fell by the way-side due to your finance troubles.
