Whether it’s true or not GP is far from being the smallest playing surface in the leagues. Far from it….
111 x 73 8103 Scunthorpe United
112 x 72 8064 Sheffield United, Newport County, Queens Park Rangers
110 x 73 8030 Bristol Rovers, Walsall
111 x 72 7992 Accrington Stanley, Cheltenham Town
111 x 72 7990 Barnet
114 x 70 7980 Mansfield Town
110 x 72 7920 Crawley Town, Burton Albion, Luton Town
113 x 70 7910 Bradford City
112 x 70 7840 Ipswich Town
109 x 71 7739 Fulham
110 x 70 7700 Swindon Town, Colchester United, Stevenage
106 x 72 7632 Oldham Athletic
102 x 70 7140 Reading
110 x 60 6600 Wigan Athletic
100 x 66 6600 Crewe Alexandra
(L x W + area in yds)
