AFAIR, at one point there was just the full size pitch and you had to seek dispensation 'for historical reasons', but now it is back to min and max dimensions, like before, to accommodate soccer pitches permanently, like for the grand final. On my phone atm so difficult to find links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my phone atm so difficult to find links. The pitch dimensions now given are "preferred". Only the smallest pitch is given as a minimum = under 7s at 50x30m. So just a bit smaller than Bulls and Cas. EDIT - Actually, the pitch diagrams in the RFL document state the MINIMUM full size pitch dimensions as 92x55m, but states 100x68 as REQUIRED for pro levels (Tier 1, 2 & 3). When is a rule, not a rule... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that's an elderly 2012 brochure from which you quote. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wholly Trinity Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 It was this one from 2016 I was thinking about. https://secure.rugby-league.com/ign_docs/FACILITYSTANDARDS2016 final PDF.pdf Minimum 88 x 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ACTUAL minimum standards haven't changed. The doc you mention was based on the dispensations given. You will find that 88m equates to the smallest current SL pitch - who would have thought that, eh?! 55m equates to a pitch that was previously in SL... The rules were/are bent and manipulated to suit. Let's be honest pre-2010 were you going to kick Bulls out because their pitch was too small? Post-2012 were you going to kick Cas out because their pitch was too small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
