By ‘Wakefield’ do you mean one of their supporters or the club itself. Assuming the second paragraph is a quote I’d be very concerned over the language used.

Interesting point though, I can’t be bothered to look up the RFL rules however on google maps the distance between the posts does measure 104.95m. So assuming the above is correct and the maximum length is 100m then we are indeed over.

To be fair, although legal, the Castleford pitch is laughably small.

I was thinking "No wonder Gale kicks loads of 40/20s". We kick way fewer, but the pitch we play on is huge in comparison to Castleford's.

Ive had this argument with the other half and as i constantly tell her, its not the length its the width that matters....





But she still argues that Castlefords pitch is longer

I was a on the Castleford forum and one of there Castleford supporters was on the Wakefield forum and on there they were complaining how short there pitch was, so he fetched Wigan in to the argument which I think was unfair back onto the Cas forum.

Well it isn't based on a 10 second snapshot as I've said previously and the winger outside him (if he played on the left) would be a Marshall in his third season as a Superleague regular, not the inexperienced one in his first few games as he was when he played outside Budgie last season. Other than that, you're bang on!



Let's agree to differ on thus one. Time will tell who was right.

I just hope the club has some sense and doesn't try to convert our best winger into a centre and play a lesser wing outside him. (Basically that would leave us with a poor to average centre in Burgess with a lesser winger outside him)

He's a brainwave, sign a centre, play our best winger outside a proper centre.

i think that is the dimensions for the football pitch for latics. look at the markings on friday.the goal lines for the football and rugby dont match

The rugby posts are up in the picture, I measured post to post.

seems strange then.the rugby markings seem a consistant 10m,so where does the extra come from.a dodgy tape measure?

Wigan is the right size pitch and the football and rugby markings correspond. The try line at Wigan is the goalline for the football. Now look at other 'new' stadiums and this is not the case, ie Hull, Huddersfield & St Helens have the try line within the football pitch.
