Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Pitch sizes can be variable. In England the FA stipulates:-

These are usually slightly larger than the FA's recommendations, measuring between 112 and 115 yards long and 70 to 75 yards wide.

Can be highly variable, to account for available space, and also kids vs adult football. The park by me has two pitches. Iirc, one is only about 54 yards wide, the other 58. So on the smaller, the penalty box nearly reaches the touchline.

(Stenhousemuir used to have the second largest playing surface in Scotland, after Rangers.)

Got something to say?
