    Just wondered as Im watching the game today....how did West Ham make their pitch so wide over the last few seasons :confused: You will see now that theres plenty of room beside the touchline and behind one of the goals...almost like a running track? But in the 90's I remember the pitch was as tight as a cavan mans arse and the crowd were almost on top of the pitch! Anybody else remember ? One game in particular made me think of it, which was the day Utd drew 1-1 with the hammers and Blackburn won the title. Just one of those things that got me thinking today :o

    They redeveloped parts of the stadium recently and I think the TV cameras are now on the other side and slightly higher up but I might be thinking of Stamford Bridge.

    The ground had a new stand built running the length of the ground as recently as 2001. It would simply be a matter of starting it further out than the old one.

    I actually thought the pitch looked more narrow today, the way the cameras are positioned.

    Yes the camera is on the other side this season.
    Makes the pitch look smaller .
