Fans right beside the pitch, no seats with a terrible view. Perfect. lol wut 8 hours ago, TrebleTwenty said: I do expect Hearts to give us a proper game, be interesting to see how Levin sets up. His long ball to that cheating northern irish numpty they have, and hack us us to death no doubt. Be keen to see Arnason start, he is surly fit since he started for Iceland the other day. If not then god knows. But Hearts wont cope with our attack and we will take the 3 points. BUT LEVEIN DOESN'T ACTUALLY PLAY ANY STRIKERS IN CASE YOU FORGOT MATE. 3 hours ago, Carl Cort's Hamstring said: Hearts don't have any wingers so Considine will be alright at full-back.

geo87 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 How many tickets have been sold for this out of interest (sorry haven't read through any of the thread) - shocking this wasn't selected for tv, should be a great game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The normal Rugby pitch layout at Murrayfield for internationals is 134 metres although they can configure it to 144 or 120 For an Association football match they can't go longer than 110 Surely the pitch could be made more central though? From that picture, it looks like one stand is just inches away from the pitch, and the opposite is several metres away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "grass" nearest the camera isn't actual grass it's artificial. which provides a warm up area. Previously there was an athletics sprint surface on it. This picture must be from one of our earlier matches on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Photos AFC have put up:Keep the away fans far away from the pitch I see, whilst the home fans are up close. Charging Hearts fans £10 a ticket and us £29. Happy to see the Dons in a new stadium but it looks like it may well be a shite place to watch football for the away fans.

The big gap to pitch appears to be on one side only. Have they the common sense to make sure they sold tickets to other side that will allow for better view?

If you study the picture, the stands that you can see will get best view, they should have only sold tickets for them stands. Other stands are miles away with big gaps you get at Hampdump.

The Master Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The photo taken from the corner is distorted by perspective. The one from the half-way line shows that, lengthways at least, the pitch is central. Which makes sense because you'd expect the half-way line to line up with things like the camera gantry. The distance from the main stand is obviously constrained by where the real grass actually starts. Given that it's a stadium designed for rugby I don't think they've done too bad a job to be honest.
