As part of last year’s pitch renovation, our Grounds Team worked with KAR UK to install the Hunter Irrigation System into our hybrid stitched pitch and the difference has been remarkable. Our Head Groundsman, Keith Porter shared: “Previously, uneven watering created inconsistency in turf condition, with areas occasionally drying out and underperforming. The new system

Christmas Party Nights at LSV A record-breaking Christmas
Attended the Manchester United v Chelsea womens super league football match. Chelsea won 1-0 and crowned winners of the womens super league. Keep the blue flag flying high
Home of the Mighty Leopards. Free parking on match days, but get there early. Don’t park on Morrisons
This is my second home as I have a season ticket to watch Man Utd women and I find the stadium very accessible as I'm partially sighted and have suffered a brain hemorrhage. We always pop in legends bar and have some food, The food is really good and reasonably priced. 5* from me
Plenty of parking. Staff are friendly. Great day out with family
Great little stadium, 12,000 capacity and who knows one day the MUWFC will fill it!! I'm hopeful, but tbh the atmosphere in the standing terrace is always good!!
Had a great time at the Women’s Man Utd game. Good atmosphere!
Would really love to see United Women team play a match here. I missed it!!!
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Clean and well kept stadium. United!!
I came on my Christmas event with work. Joe the security supervisor was absolutely amazing, he took great care of us and showed us nothing but kindness and respect! Shaquil also was amazing he helped us so much! I wish more men were like these two! I had such a great but Joe and shaquil escalated this as I felt so safe throughout the night. Would definitely recommend!!!! They definitely deserve a pay rise.
We’ve hired two rooms at Leigh Sports village, Legends Bar and the Board Room, for two day training events. Dan, Stuart and Gareth have looked after and ensured that we had everything we needed. Food was good quality sandwiches and the best home made chips I’ve had in a long time and a chicken pie, with veg and the brilliant chips. I.T is high end and you can simply plug your laptop in and deliver your training.
Great atmosphere, really well staffed & helpful with any questions. The only negative was that the drinks board is incorrect & for a few of the drinks. States they are 500ml when they are only 330ml bottles. So you're being charged more for getting less
Such a nice small stadium. Easy to access, lots of kiosks for refreshments.
The hub of the neighborhood. Morrison, Holiday Inn, Sports Stadium, Leisure Club, College, Pub, sports track, canal, walking trails, GP and pharmacy services, youth hub, petrol station! Need I go on? The perfect one stop shop for the local residents of leigh with footpath access to the beautiful Pennington Flash and Pennington Hall Parks!
Great venue for watching lower league football. Low prices and free parking nearby
Absolutely awesome stadium to attend a match at, especially the Leigh Leopards but Manchester United Womens and U21's matches are held there too. When the Leopards are playing there, the atmosphere is absolutely amazing as well as the pre match build up which includes fireworks, flags being waved and awesome music. Design of stadium makes for good acoustics. Concourses nice and modern, not dated looking like at other stadia. Accessibility is great too, as there are well signposted accessible toilets in every concourse and every entrance to the stands is level access. Very autism friendly as well, I for one as an autistic supporter of Leigh Leopards have been let in through the exit gate on two occasions as the stewards thought I found the turnstiles overwhelming. Another thing the stewards do is offer a limited number of ear defenders on match days for autistic supporters (I usually bring my own). Very fun and accessible way to experience rugby league (and women's/academy football too!).
Leigh Sports Village: A Local Gem Leigh Sports Village, a modern, state-of-the-art facility nestled in the heart of Leigh, has quickly established itself as a premier venue for sporting events and community gatherings. Its combination of accessibility, affordability, and top-notch facilities has made it a popular choice for both spectators and participants alike. One of the most appealing aspects of Leigh Sports Village is its convenient location and ample parking. The stadium is easily accessible by both car and public transport, and the on-site parking facilities ensure that visitors can arrive and depart with minimal hassle. The proximity of the parking areas to the entrance means that fans can quickly and easily make their way into the stadium, avoiding the long walks or crowded walkways often associated with larger venues. Another factor that contributes to the appeal of Leigh Sports Village is the affordability of its food and drink offerings. Unlike many stadiums where concessions can be prohibitively expensive, Leigh Sports Village provides fans with a range of options at reasonable prices. This allows visitors to enjoy a meal or refreshment without breaking the bank, making it a more accessible and enjoyable experience for everyone. The stadium's excellent floodlighting system is another feature that deserves praise. The high-quality lighting ensures that matches can be played under optimal conditions, even in the late afternoon or evening. This is particularly important for night matches, as it allows spectators to fully appreciate the action and atmosphere without being hampered by poor visibility. While Leigh Sports Village offers many advantages, it is not without its drawbacks. One of the most common complaints is the difficulty of exiting the car park after a busy match. The traffic congestion and limited exit points can sometimes lead to long wait times and frustration for departing visitors. However, it is important to note that this issue is often exacerbated by the popularity of the stadium and the large number of people attending events. Despite the occasional traffic congestion, Leigh Sports Village remains a fantastic venue for sporting events and community gatherings. Its combination of accessibility, affordability, and top-notch facilities make it a standout destination for both locals and visitors. Whether you are a passionate sports fan or simply looking for a great place to spend an evening, Leigh Sports Village is sure to impress.
Fantastic day at a great ground. Brilliant atmosphere with friendly helpful staff. First time there but I am definately going back. Superb rugby league played as well. Bonus !!!
Whilst I’ve never actually been inside the stadium at Leigh Sports Village, I have played football on the outdoor pitches and also visited the Morrisons store next door. The village is a very good place to play football, the pitches are well maintained. The Morrisons store is also a very good store, just the right size and nice and clean.
Only ever go here when they hold the cat shows. Parking is easy enough, with disabled spaces. Food is lovely here. Hot lunch I had was exceptional good & was very hot as well.
Facilities look great and loads of sports and activities to choose from.
Great venue for sports as it is big enough, yet small enough that you feel close to the action. Such a shame they insist on being cashless. Since it went cashless I have stubbornly not bought a single item. I can easily cope with a drink and food before I go in then wait a couple of hours. I used to pay with a card most of the time but cash should always be an option. I work with people with special needs. Some don't actually have a card option. I am also teaching them to handle physical money which is impossible with a card. I don't consider it 'inclusive' in this respect. "We prefer card payments where possible" should be on the sign.
I really like Leigh Sports village as a stadium. Reasonably priced food and drink, parking practically outside the front door and well floodlit. Bear in mind after a busy match it’s awkward getting out of the car park can be a nightmare. But stadium itself is great
Amazing experience in the Executive box. Fantastic English breakfast, one of the best I have ever had in Manchester. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.
Great place. Home of Leigh Leopards rugby league club. Fantastic facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic atmosphere. Modern venue. Good parking.
Great stadium to watch UTD women. Traffic can be a nightmare in and out of the car parks.. but free parking is a bonus
Great venue with friendly staff and efficient security. We come here quite regularly for United Women’s games. As we don’t drive it’s a bit of a pain to get to, but well linked to the city centre by the V1 bus, and easy walking distance from Leigh bus station. Refreshments are quite expensive, as can be expected from anywhere hosting sports matches, but I know for a lot of venues like this refreshment markup is a core source of income so I understand why they have to do this. Really love LSV’s commitment to assisting autistic visitors too, both with well-trained staff on-site and through having a virtual tour and extensive information online to help autistic visitors prepare for their visit. Not a lot of places do this, and I really appreciate it.
Great sports facility. . Ladies and men’s under 21 football. Home to Leigh Rugby League teams. Pies and pints better than many bigger stadiums around the country.A long trip from central Manchester. Worth the price if a taxi.
Great stadium to attend and watch our Womans footballers with Manchester United v Arsenal on a Friday night, over 8,000 fans. Be well aware of road congestion an hour before kick off, and parking is a nightmare, living in Westhoughton only 6 miles away took us a good 60 mins to drive and park up and get in the stadium on Friday night...no public transport available either...
The sports village at the heart of nature. This is what dreams are made of. The staff are nice, the area gives you the feel of some sort of a resort, and boy are they personal when it comes to keeping the place clean. You don’t have to view a game to fall in love with this place cause it makes you fall in love with it.
Lovely little stadium ? got there watching united ladies. Great atmosphere.
It was my first time ever at a football match, lol, and I'm so glad I went! Man U women's team was bloody awesome, and I managed to record a goal.. I'm going to seriously cherish this memory! Didn't think I'd be as loud as I was? 3-0. What an amazing day! The weather was brilliant as well. The only reason for giving 4 stars is due to the fact that they remove the lids of the bottles. I mean, I ain't one to keep hold of things, and I noticed that neither are other people as there were spillages on the steps. FYI to the staff, please just leave the cap on a drink bottle and prevent any hazards. Other than that, the stadium was wow, and we could sit anywhere in the stand. One of the funny things was when we were all requested to stand for the national anthem as it had been the coronation 2 days prior, but no one knew the words until the end, when the people in the stand to the right of us, said "God save the king" I mean???♀️ sorry, but a lot of us couldn't help but laugh ? if any royal fans happen to see this. Sorry. Thanks to the Man U womens team and the lovely staff at this place who were so helpful. Got myself some merch too - how could I not.. ??? women brought it home, and they gave it their all, if not more on this day also.
Fantastic stadium and establishment was here on work duties invited from Simon too. CEO was a pleasure coming here. Friendly environment brilliant well spoken staff. Highly recommended place to visit.
Lovely, modern facility. On site are a sports stadium, other sports facilities, Morrisons Supermarket, The Whistling Wren pub. On the flip side, ladies beware, the toilets at the stadium are some of the worst I've ever seen - I've been in better public toilets in the middle of nowhere! Stainless steel with no toilet seat (and this is the intentional design, not a vandalised facility). Make sure you pack your She-Wee or a Tena Lady ?
We attended to host a corporate some football match , we all had fun and enjoyed the event. Staff were friendly and helpful. I actually injured my ankle and staff were a great help, with James the duty manager bringing out some ice packs and looking after me "thanks James" Great experience "besides the the ankle that is" lol
I always enjoy coming to watch the footie here as the stadium is really family-friendly and not so daunting for the younger children. The problem is the lack of parking! End up parking on the nearby streets (legally of course!) only to get yelled at by the disgruntled residents. I fully appreciate it must be frustrating for them, but my only other option (not knowing the area) was to drive home and lose the money paid for the ticket. Hopefully, the organisers will arrange a park and ride or something to resolve the situation for the bigger matches as it puts me off coming back!
First time I’ve been here to use the swimming pool . It was a fun and floats and was a good experience. We found the water was warm. Just about enough floats for the amount of people present. Nice changing rooms, not really enough showers though. Plenty of parking
Attended LSV for a RLWC 2021 rugby league game. Excellent venue with very professional staff. Good facilities with food snd drink outlets etc
1st time here, went to see one of the women's euros matches... fabulous. Very impressed with the stadium and set up. Will be back.
Nice big stadium great atmosphere went here to watch the best Chelsea women thrash man utd women 6-1 lol I loved it so much
Watched Sweden and Portugal womens football . We had a great day out . And we hope to keep supporting it
Took my 2 daughters and their friend to watch Sweden vs Belgium (Quarter Final, Womens Euro 2022) No problems getting in - staff friendly and helpful. We had a great time! ?
Brilliant venue, with very welcoming staff!
Great little ground. Attended to watch Women's Euros and really enjoyed it. We had a Blue badge parking space near the ground, stewards on hand to direct. Accessibility was top quality with lifts up to the gantry for the wheelchair spaces. These were on the half way line so we had a great view. The atmosphere was excellent. The large screen was clear and informative though the pa system could be improved for its audio quality. The ground itself is just one part of a Sports Village containing all types of activities and clubs for the community. A good resource. However, food provision was poor - nothing around the ground which is unusual for a football match. Most fans ended up in Morrisons which is on site. Food inside the ground was awful - a terrible burnt, tasteless pie - and expensive!
Visited for WEuro 2022. Have had a lovely experience. There's been lots of friendly stewards to answer all kinds of queries. They've helped make a really great experience!
Decent enough venue, 3 stand with seating, one with standing space (North). Useful video screen in SE corner. Good standard PA system. Can be an absolute mess for traffic leaving events, effectively one road in, one road out, or back streets through small residential roads.
Top place me and my girls loved watching the football here. brilliant atmosphere, friendly staff ? great all round
Went with my son to Club Atmosphere, really had a good night, look forward to going again with him
Very organised event. Loved the women's footie. Can't wait to go again
Staff are up their own backsides they all need to chill out a bit more
Friendly helpful supportive staff. Immaculate grounds. Anne on reception is wonderful.
I visited here to donate blood. It is a nice venue with a good atmosphere. I noticed that even though the room was above the very back seats the pitch is extremely visible. I will be visiting to watch a match soon
attended a blood drive there, easy to get around, receptionist showed me the way and there were lifts and toilets
Clean and tidy, hood cuppa and a friendly smile. Good seats, stewerds always on hand and friendly. Crackin stadium.
A very good all round club. Will definitely be back.
Nice looking ground not the easiest to get to via public transport. Staff at the stadium were friendly and helpful. Food and drink choices limited but quick service Service today's was a bit slow looked they had some new staff on
I go to watch Manchester United U23s it's a great place for the family if you have young children that like football, I never watch rugby there but I'm sure it is just as good for the family on those events too.
A fantastic stadium with exceptional facilities. Home of the mighty Leigh Centurions. Football also played here. But the less said about the better. Lots of parking. Don't park on morrison's, you'll get fined.
Great place. not had the time to explore as I only went for my COVID-19 vaccine.
This ground is definitely on a par with most League 1 grounds. It has a reasonable amount of free parking, though its entrance is shared with a relatively large Morrisons supermarket. The seats are comfortable with unobstructed views of the pitch. The concourse behind the seats is not the largest but contains an obligatory food/drinks and usual facilities.
Attended a christmas works function - the food was excellent the staff were excellent A very very enjoyable time.... Outstanding team effort from the receptionist to the catering manager and the bar staff....brilliant !
Lovely stadium been here to watch two women’s games over the last three years and had some photos with some of the players. I’m Arsenal fan so not as easy to get down to London that often.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful and very nice to shop there every week and they can have a laugh with you even the manger and supervisor s are very nice and helpful it's got my five stars every time thanks again sainsbury and all the best from me and my family
Very poor parking best of luck getting out they just stand around in groups watching people going nowhere when a little organisation could work wonders. And don't buy the pies unless you want to burn yourself. Hot enough to leave blistering when you get gravy on you.
We've been a few times now. I took my little lad for his first proper football match and it was great.
Went to watch Manchester United Womens vs Chelsea. Lovely atmosphere. Easy to access, plenty of parking spaces, clean, friendly staff and some food, snacks and drinks available. Has Morrisons and nice pub just around the corner.
Fine for what I could see.at the vaccinations Center ? it's quite a big place plenty of parking makes a change.?
Easy access from motorway, plenty of free parking, other facilities nearby. Really nice and tidy stadium.
What a great complex having everything you could ask for a pub serving food,beer garden even a Morrisons supermarket Great views in the stadium and even the bar prices are very reasonable
Great atmosphere and great staff, went here to watch United under 21's kids loved it.
Great place to visit with kids for sporting events like woman's football and Leigh warriors rugby team plus it's a great atmosphere
Fantastic day out, great to support up and coming youth teams, fab if you get free tickets/entry. Free parking also.
Watched the United youth games here now for the past 4 or 5 seasons now...Great atmosphere and the cheese burgers are fab to ha
Leigh Harriers facilities are amazing, the voluntary staff are outstanding with the work they do to keep everything running well. Highly recommended place to train and they also hire out there facilities for many needs.
Excellent stadium, and close to supermarket and a pub, food was good, and a tribute to the great John Woods also easy enough to get to
Had a wonderful time on Saturday Collette and Adeles wedding beautiful ladies congratulations.The venue was lovely beautifully set out lots of room for everyone ?❤...
Been to the bistro here a few times now, great food, great value for money, very good service the staff are all friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend everyone giving it a go. A little hidden gem in Leigh more people should use
Took my daughter for her Covid-19 vaccine, very clean and well organised. Friendly and calming staff
Great venue. Very well appointed athletics track with a splendid veranda warm up area.
I've been to the Leigh Sports Village a number of times. Including 2 Semi finals to watch the mighty Castigers both times we have got the victory. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. The stewards are top class and always helpful great ground to visit. Easy to get to and get away from
Great place for a large wedding. If you are looking for a reception venue then please take a look.
Fantastic stadium , home of the leigh centurions . Great day out watching the rugby in a very family friendly stadium
Easy to get to not bad stadium seats a little hard good leg room
Had my vaccine jab today, very easy to get to, safe environment, professional service well done all involved.
Been to have my second covid injection all done and the staff are brilliant
Had my vaccine here Thursday just gone. Started off as a professional set up, always knew where to go and who to talk to as the communication used was really good. However the downside was in the observation area, the staff member on there didn't seem as approachable as the other staff members and spent alot of time crouched rather than standing and observing the people in the waiting area.
Played an under 17's match on the grass pitch v Atherton. Best grass football pitch we have played on in ten years!!! Great car park and easy to find.
