I think doubling the size of the goal would lead to a lot more than double the amount of goals scored. At the moment 1 bike "covers" nearly the whole goal, with small areas in front/behind and a semi covered area in the goal hole. Maybe 5% open and 50% semi covered. Double the goal would lead to 55% open and 25% semi covered (excuse bad maths). You'd end up with a very long shot orientated game, I reckon. At the moment if someone gets a sight of open goal from wherever, they shoot, this amount of goal would be almost permanently open. Nothing against bigger goals, but I'd of thought maybe trying 20% bigger, or something would be a more suitable step.
