I don't see how narrower would be to our advantage.
But yes the blue surround looked good

I thought the same watching the friendly on YouTube. I'd need to compare before and after photos to be sure.
No it can't be as it's the standard size. If it was smaller it would need to a reason I.e old stadium.
It's the international standard size same as Wembley and 13 other EPL stadiums.
It looks smaller due to change of perimeter colour from green to blue.

There's different sizes dependant on comp. One for EFL and EPL but then international which is stricter between max and min. Ours is the recommended size exactly.
Yes we could change it but it would likely mean we wouldn't be seen so favourably for any international games.
Anyhow it's an optical illusion due to the perimeter colour.
Has to be within a range - no set standard. But I am surprised that so many have the exact same size. Makes it less interesting somehow.

Yes I put that above but it does vary between competition. Wolves had a narrow pitch but had to widen it for their games when in Europe.Has to be within a range - no set standard. But I am surprised that so many have the exact same size. Makes it less interesting somehow.

Utter nonsense.
The rules state that pitch dimensions must fall within the range of 90m – 120m in length and 45m – 90m in width.
Don't tell it's bollocks when you post f***ing crap like that. It's a f***ing requirement of the EPL to have understood heating you fool.

Just pulling up the twattiness.

Edit - apologies @Super Steve Earle beat me to it.
