The Everton Forum • Re: New Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock
94m is the minimum, and the HD is 105 end-to-end. Sure, the in goal areas were smaller than you typically see but the pitch (playing area) was fine.
There's plenty of moaning in the Aussie media re: markings (standard) but that surely is just to do with the fact that it's first and foremost purpose is as a football stadium, and when we play there we don't want to be seeing RL markings, especially based on a one off game (not a scenario like at Wigan where there is an acceptance that it's a shared ground/pitch)
I take your points, but think when guidelines for adult play is near as possible to 100m between goallines, especially in an international game I just think its a bit poor. (not that I'm from League territory anyway).
94 is apparently miminum for Union so hopefully we'll get a few of their games.
I'm not sure how other sports would take it, would NFL be happy with less than 120 yards total? It's not like it would have been as bad as the Hammers stadium to accomodate it.
Presume you'd be familiar with Clarke and Dawe even if this was likely before your time here.
