Any word on why the pitch had been narrowed 2 yards on both sides yesterday?

less pitch less rent!!!

i suspect it was an attempt t limit the damage of the peterborough wingers...which seemed a bit desperate to me

I thought you have to submit your pitch size before the season started? Or it's because we've returned to The Ricoh and have finally been allowed to re-submit it?

Yep, exactly that.

Matched Ryton's and Sixfield's pitch width.

I agree with Beduff on this.
I was under the impression that the measurements have to stay the same through the course of the season and can't be altered from the dimensions submitted at the beginning.
I would have guessed that they'd have to be the same as Sixfields or the dimensions should have been submitted prior to the Gillingham game.
I wasn't there yesterday, are we sure it was definitely narrowed?

Just seen the previous post, would make sense if we had to have the same dimensions as Sixfields.

100% was narrowed. The previous lines are now in a green paint.

Geoff Foster said he was told this by the club.

There'll be some more lines covered by green paint come December!
On this topic, I believe Man City are building or have built, 20 pitches at their training base to replicate those in the Premier League. I can only imagine it's more to do with dimensions than it is conditions.
