The Virtual Terrace • Numbered pitch markings and logos
Why is it that the Aussie's have their markings and every 10m metre line numbered yet you rarely see it over here?
They had them in the early 80s!! We're so behind.
Before people say, "oh its because RL ground share with football" nonsense, please be aware that many NRL and lower league clubs also share with soccer and/or thugby.
Are UK groundsmen simply too lazy to add them?
Personally the pitch presentation adds to the match experience.
I also do not understand why clubs and the RFL have not capitalised on selling pitch advertising to raise revenue as you see in NRL games??
These days, coloured logos can be quickly washed out or painted over for other sports to use the same pitch.
