CAR PARKING
Parking at the ground is extremely limited, but there is plenty of room on the Leek to Macclesfield road (A523) that runs past the stadium. Alternative Car Parking can be found close by on the industrail / retail park where Sainsburys is situated.
Parking bays are now marked on the northern side of this road – it is not recommended that you park on the southern side (the side closest to the ground), as the police may ask you to move.

There is a limited supply of printed match programmes for each game priced at £2 on a first come first served basis.

The Blues Bar will be open from 1:30pm, at half-time and after the final whistle, but is only accessible from within the ground before the game. There are a wide variety of refreshments available at the tea hut – pies, pastries, burgers, chips, hot and cold drinks and confectionary.

OPPOSITION
- 2024/25 league position: 15th (Northern Premier League. Step Three).
- Last season: P42 W14 D10 L18. GD -8. 52 points.
- Last season home: P21 W7 D1 L10. GD -6. 25 points.
- This season: P13 W4 D2 L7. GD -5. 14 points. They sit 17th in the league (of 21 teams).

- Last league match: Hebburn Town. 3-3 draw. Away. Last Saturday.
- Last league home match: Lancaster Town. 0-1 defeat. 11th October
- In the league, Leek are without a win in five (D1 L4) – the draw being the Hebburn game, ending the run of four consecutive losses. Prior to that spell, they were four unbeaten in the league (W3 D1) – the three wins following the draw.
- This run is matched with their home form – they’ve lost their last three in the league (Lancaster, Ilkeston, Hednesford), but won the preceding three (Guiseley, Warrington, Morpeth)
- In the FA Cup this season, they were knocked out via a replay vs Southern League Premier Central Harborough Town in their first match in this year’s FA Cup (First Qualifying Round) – they drew 0-0 away before losing 0-3 at home.
- They’re clearly still in the FA Trophy, beating Southern League Premier Central Halesowen Town 1-2 away from home in their opening game of the competition, ensuring they would make this round.
