I believe there are minimum and maximum measurements. As long as it's not square and the length is more than the breadth and it is within the min and max laid down it ought to be okay. If it really is "too short" then, presumably, the length is a yard short of the minimum for length - or a metre these days I suppose. It's more likely to be one of those rumours that get around similar to those about new swimming pools being a bit short of Olympic standard length! I don't believe it!

I believe both of you but I still don't believe Totton's pitch is a yard short (90 centimetres)!

This from November 7th posting on the Nonleaguematters.co.uk website forum:
"Doubtful at this moment in time that the Thatcham game on 13th November will be played at the new stadium.The club had an FA inspection last week and the pitch was found to be too short. This has now been resolved but the player run-off between the pitch edge and barriers are now too small.
Hopefully it won't be too major to sort out but the two step terracing at one end may need to come out and be changed to flat standing. This will be a shame as one of the best things about the new stadium is the terracing all around the ground. "
This makes the two most likely move dates to be 20th November (Stourport) or 11th December (Almondsbury). The club is also hoping that the last game at Testwood Park can be announced prior to it being played but the builders are desperate to get us out of the old ground as soon as possible so this might not be the case.
I'll provide updates on the last / first games as soon as they're announced.
