Distance from the pitch

Carl Barnard · Apr 29, 2019

Concrete going in today in the lower terrace, with the new dugoutd being built into the stand, it still looks a awful long way from the pitch... I know years ago didn't we shorten the pitch width? Can we widen it again now? To be closer to it?

Judging by the GoS pictures the edge of the new terrace is only about 10ft from the pitch edge. One of the development blogs said it would be the same distance from the seats to the pitch as in the horseshoe.

The modern style seems to be to have the dugouts set well back from the pitch, so I don't see a problem.

I think the current fence is a lot closer to the pitch than where the advertising boards will eventually be, probably gives a slight false impression

You can see the pitch edge in the webcam shots and on GoS it is edged by a drain and they laid the temporary road right up to it. The first section of green is artificial, the referees assistant ran on it, and the manager's areas were on it.

They have left the crane overnight with the extending arms onto the artificial bit.

Good view of it there. I'd expect the advertising boards to be on the edge of the tarmac

Good photo to illustrate my point Kevin!

I must admit it certainly looks better from that position.
