Maybe don’t need that extra pace in the team so much then. Probably Mr Clough using his head and experience.

Looks like the drainage is going to get a test.

Suits us better. Our defenders are not the quickest so runners in behind not as much space. Also we’re not going to be reliant on runners in behind ourselves.

the space behind each goal is at least 5yrd shorter, you only have to look at the different colour grass, i would say a foot shorter width too

Since they grassed over the shingle tracks behind each goal, the grass behind each goal gives the impression that the goalposts have been moved forward. I don’t think they have been.

Think it’s just that they’ve turfed the ends that were previously gravelled so bit deceiving

No chance, they've put grass over the old soil/gravel or whatever it was before up to the advertising board, just makes it look like the pitch has moved it hasn't. The different colours are the pitch and the new bit of grass that's been added.

I thought the QLE goal is was in the same place and but the North Stand one looked a few yards in. Need to watch some footage and compare where the corners line up to behind.
