Had a look on Google Earth as I was curious - the pitch has an elevation of 249 metres at one end and 244 metres at the other. A 5 metre drop over 100 metres is absolutely mental. You can zoom in to pitch-level on Google Earth and it's a proper slope! For perspective, it's actually steeper than any section of mainline railway in the UK. Too steep for our trains - perfect for football!

The top goal line is in line with the bottom crossbar its so slanted, also Daniel Pudil was playing for the hammer and pincers Sunday team, which is a pub team round the corner before he played for Hallam. He played an game for them that the Hallam chairman or manager was watching (cant remember which) and was asked if he wanted to play for Hallam.
