How big is a football pitch?

[MontyVeda]

Yesterday i watching a documentary which stated that a particular airliner was "3/4s the length of a football pitch". Today, police have found a cannabis farm "the size of a football pitch". Why do they keep referring to things as 'the size of a football pitch' when we all know that football pitches are different sizes??? ...and relax.

You could fit 2,900 football pitches into Wales. Hope that helps.

Because they only come in twos.

IIRC A football pitch = two acres

Two acres = a measurement of pain - a kick in the groin.

Ain't they supposed to kick the larger ball though?
