Shortened pitch at Loftus Road? 20:28 - Jun 22 with 8893 viewsFrankRightguard

I sit upstairs in The Loft so don’t have the best view of behind the goal but…that tarmac looks pretty wide to me. Have we lopped some length off the playing surface?

It does look like the pitch has been shortened, at the School End.
Unless the new tarmac gives that impression 🤔

We’ve already shortened the pitch once (back in the late 90s/early 00s). If we’ve done it again, it really will be tight, well, short.

All the easier for getting the ball to the big man inthe box!

Strange choice of material in that context.

I think they are simply taking away the end we would be attacking as there is no need for it?

Never knowingly right.

That tarmac will have a bit of give and is the base for the new 4G pitch that will surround the grass pitch and will go right to the end of the touchlines. So hence the goal itself will not have a grass floor but instead a 4G floor. So the overall pitch dimensions will remain the same.

Interesting that we have not laid a pitch yet but others are currently tweeting how their pitches are growing back well after the season just gone. I presume everything will be ready right? Right?

Coventry started last season without a pitch and they finished it at Wembley so maybe we're going for that approach.

All part of the plan to evade the need for a midfield.

The amount of sand on that pitch suggests we'll be playing beach volleyball next season.

I wonder if, as part of the works, they installed the pitch tilting mechanism I have long advocated...

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Assuming you wont be hosting international games there is a lot of scope.
Width 45m - 90m
Length 90m - 120m

So in theory I guess it could be square!

Can't be square, KeithW

The law states the touchline must be longer than the goal line.

Those dimensions are from the laws of the game, that also state (or used to) that the pitch is not allowed to be square!

The rules of the EFL (rule 13.1) are:-

Length 100m-110m
Width 64m- 75m

Funnily enough, The Premier League only say it must reach FA guidelines (laws of the game)!
