No correct guesses yet on which other team tops the Premier League pitch size table with us.

You could be right. But then again, as noted in ElPrezes thread on that handbook, they seem to have reduced our ground capacity. Who knows
P.S Which page do I need to skip to to find pitch sizes. Scrolling through 600 odd pages is a bit of a bind.

Right at the beginning there's each teams details (Club Directory) it's in there.

Thanks. They seem to have taken a metre off the width of our pitch then as well as reducing our capacity.
Do you think they're not very welcoming to newbies or something.
I'd assume we provided the details though to be fair.
As I said before, who knows?
The guy next to me suggested it was smaller, and I thought he was right - checking video footage when I got home, it looked to be basically the same.
All bar a few the pitches in the Premier League are standard size 105 x 68m including ours only Huddersfield have one longer at 106 but its not as wide. Liverpool's, Palace's, Everton's and Chelsea's are under the preferred size.

It's all part of a cunning plan!

Huddersfield's is same length (105) but one metre wider (69) apparently.
Depends on what source you use as to whether ours is the same as Huddersfield's or the more common 105x68m.
Perhaps we did reduce our width by one metre ready for this season, as suggested on here by some observations at the Atletico Madrid game?
I've thought that every opening day, if I were right the team would now be playing on a brazilian.
