If you mean playing area it is 100 x 64 metres / 110 x 70 yards. Additional area is also required beyond the goal lines and touch lines.

The length of the pitch must be a minimum of 100 yards and a maximum of 130 yards, and the width a minimum of 50 yards and a maximum of 100 yards, and the touchline must always be longer than the goal line.
The old Wembley pitch was 115 yds x 75 yds and many pitches were modelled on that. Highbury had the smallest pitch.

I assumed C&G was referring to UCL requirements. To continue Buggalugs theme before moving grounds the Cobblers pitch at the County Ground was the longest in the league and Doncaster's Belle Vue the largest

Are you saying that individual competition rules can over-rule the Laws of the Game?
