Technically going by the measurements a pitch can be square, but rules state that a pitch has to be rectangular. Here's 2 links that will explain it better;

I am pretty sure this is it!

Length: minimum 100m (110yds) - maximum 110m (120yds) Width: minimum 64m (70yds) - maximum 75m (80yds)

Highbury was considered a very narrow pitch at 105m by 70m. No way can a pitch be 50m wide!

So a reputable site like the BBC is wrong.

So you take the BBC website as gospel is it?? In that case Utd had a good win against Everton last season in the FA cup when they printed it that Utd beat them on Peno's.

What there refering to probably includes under 7's games. Anyway no matter what size the pitch was it probably wouldnt help you hit the back of the net in the premier.

No need to get uptight I was only answering a question. Maybe as one poster suggested we should ask Dermot Finnan or indeed Fairview themselves, after all ye have been petty enough to object about the dimensions of pitches before so ye should be experts on the subject.

how did that tournament go? the one up in garryowen green with athlunkard and abbey

**dines08** · 15/08/2009, 4:35 PM

Being honest we're in trouble...a lot of players were interested in coming back but would rather sit on the bench at a team that won't struggle. The tournament final is on at quarter to seven tonight. A team against the b team. We've had a few players play matches with us but none have actually signed yet. Could change after tonight though

Have ye lost anyone from last year apart from Ian Dore through injury though?

One. Leonard O grady...we signed Darren Walsh to replace him. We beat the b team on penalties tonight. Ian is a huge loss but we've still got some excellent players...bobby horan, connor keane, christy o neill, liam lenihan, steve folan, ian stewart and pat collins are all signed and training away. I thought i was gonna struggle to get in the team this year and there's probably a lot of people who'd think myself and other fellas in the team aren't premier standard but we'll give it everything we have because we're short on bodys. The core group we have from last season are very good but we're short players to bring on. I've no doubt we'll pick up at least 5 players who are sick of sitting on the bench at other clubs by the time the transfer window comes around. We've to just grin and bear it until then

Thats true, Dore is a big loss, did very well for ye last season. A lot of the players you mentioned, O' Neill, Keane, Folan, and Stewart although are very good players and are still quite young so i think if ye can build on these players by signing a few others, like you said ye might, ye will have a chance at staying up.
