It's so we'll have less pitch to be shit on this season. Eventually the pitch will be 5 metres by 2.

Dunno, but it looked in poor condition.
Returffed patches, and never seen it so poor at this time of year.

It happens at clubs, different managers like to have larger, smaller pitches to suit the style of football they're aiming for. You're allowed to change dimensions within a certain amount.

I feared this might be the case as soon as PSG pinched our main groundsman.

They made some of the groundsmen redundant. That can't have helped.

And usually the manager makes the pitch smaller if he is planning on playing Pulis style hoofball. :(

RDM has no history at all of wanting to play anything resembling long ball let alone football that would be related to the junk Pulis puts out.

Sacrilege! The pitch has been the same size every season in my supporting history. I demand the restoration of original size!

The fact that they had to keep watering it today says something.  Quite obviously the club are not satisfied with it.  Players were slipping at the start of the match.

you could always go support a Pulis team and be content with a lower mid table finish for the rest of your life watching eye bleeding anti football.

Even Albion play better football than us.
