I seem to recall talk of the Swansea.com stadium pitch being narrowed at the start of the season. I do not know if it was true or a myth. It seemed to me this was a major shift in philosophy to become more defensive and need less space. A move to anti football.
Duff boring football saw its low point in the dismal CCFC performance
Three fast wingers have come in and two full backs sent out on loan. Logic suggests this means four at the back and two wingers with Patterson making four fighting for two places. Cullen / Yates will now be an out and out number 9 or will Mykola see some action.?
Narrowing the pitch for a Swansea team sounded like heresy.

Yeah was narrowed for sure.....as stated by a poster further up, you could see the old lines faded outside the new ones. |  |

The links don't work for me, have tried looking at other footage and it doesn't look as if it has but looking from the East Stand at the start of the season the position of the touchlines were questioned by some of the crowd around me. |  | | |

No evidence at all of a narrower pitch this season. Just look at the highlights from the Plymouth game. The West stand touchline has barely a foot of grass between the touchline and the Astro turn area. If the pitch has been narrowed this gap would have been bigger.
According to various football stats websites the pitch is 105 x 68 metres.
Wembly by comparison is 105 x 69.
Cardiff is 100x 68 | |

Did look at footage from games this season and last and as you say the West Stand line looked tight both this year and last, footage of the East stand touchline harder to judge from the footage from afar but on close ups of corners the spacings from the edge of the turf to the touchline did seem the same.
But as I said with the view from East Stand with the naked eye the touch line did appear about a foot inside the another not so pronouced line which didn't have the white markings but both lines seem to have wear from the assistant refs footfall and they were remarked upon in discussions so it might be why the original question was asked.around me. | | | |
