Which is about 115 yards x 74 yards. And the rule says it's only if the club has the space to do so. Our pitch is still the same size it's always been because we haven't got the space to make it larger.

But any ground improvements will not be allowed unless the pitch is brought up to standard size. In addition those with larger playing surfaces need to reduce them to the set size.
