Thanks. Yes I read that, I also read conflicting statements. Hence I wanted the measurements so I could calculate the correct answer. |  |

Easier to visualise half an acre and double it. Be careful to only double it in one dimension, though. If you double it in both dimensions you will end up with 2 acres. Alternatively, an acre is 4047 square metres or only 4 thousandths of a square kilometre. [Post edited 22 Feb 2024 21:41]

So, A chain is roughly 20 metres. A furlong is roughly 200 metres. So an acre is roughly 20 metres x 200 metres Or 40 metres x 100 metres So smaller than the pitch. About 2/3 of the pitch? |  | |  |

Isn't that closer to half of the PR pitch? Which was suggested further up. |  |
