Good idea. The pitch at easter road is very wide so good idea to get us used to a much tighter game.

Anybody know what the minimum allowed size for a pitch is in the SPFL?

Not sure if relevant however think it covers Premier and Championship with the for all league matches line.

From SPFL rules.

The dimensions of the field of play for all League Matches and the Division
One/Division Two Play-Off Competition played by Clubs in Divisions One and Two
shall be as follows:-

Minimum Recommended Maximum
Length 95 metres 105 metres 110 metres
Width 60 metres 68 metres 72 metres

According to Wikipedia
ER is 112x74
Cowdenbeath 107x66

Cowdenbeath quite a bit shorter snd narrower

Cheers.

I take it that's Minimum, Preferred and Maximum sizes?

I think the ER figures pre-date the building of the East Stand, when the pitch size was increased. IIRC, it's now 115yds x 75yds (105m x 68m).

Central Park is still a lot smaller either way.

Think ER might be too big based on our home form?
