105m x 68m
Never realized a football pitch had that amount of width.
It's 'full international size' with uefa appropriate run off areas.
In context that means it's the same size as hampden (and ppl complain that OUR stands aren't close enough to the pitch!) and also Hertz would have to remove several MORE rows from the three existing stands if they wanted to/ ever got round to building their new stand.
Otherwise wouldn't be able to play euro games at tynie.
Anyone know how tiny Tynie is then?
The deluded ones seem to fail to grasp the concept that you can't have a UEFA compliant pitch AND the stands right on top of the pitch...
As far as I know uefa may well not be too bothered about the dimensions of tynie - they should be able to play their matches there.
However, if hearts went ahead and built their stand (I know!) they would need to adhere to the pitch and run off areas. As there is v little room already behind the wheatfield stand they would have to remove several rows, to
make up 5 mtrs shortfall on length not including run off and 4 mtrs on width,
again without run offs.
So all the Yams have got a small one then?
Surely though it's going to be tricky to follow through on this?
I don't believe that clubs who need to rebuild stands will be banned from Europe if the way the stadium is built means they can't make the pitch bigger.
It seems those are the rules, but can we really see it being enforced?
They can easily rebuild to UEFA standards by taking out rows of seats. They did it at Tynecastle to lengthen the pitch three or four years back.
There is plenty of room inside Tynecastle so no-one will notice the difference.
It will make the stadium less intimidating for visiting teams as the Duelling Banjo types in Section N will be further from the pitch.
