I turned up 90 mins before kick off hoping (but not expecting) to get on the official FREE car park but missed out on a spot by a few minutes. Headed back onto the dual carriageway and parked up on Leigh Miners car park which is less than a quarter of a mile to the stadium. Was very surprised to park up free of charge (in fact I would have gladly shelled out a few quid, Leigh Miners are a good club). Got away after the game pretty easy enough, past Leigh Asda, Westleigh, Hindley Green to avoid any queues.

Me and my two young lads thoroughly enjoyed the day out yesterday.
Seriously, people would moan at anything on here

Originally a 10,000 all seated stadium , altered to take 12,000 with the standing terrace north stand being 4,000 capacity

When the LSV was originally planned you needed 8,000 capacity to enter SL , I remember Nigel Wood asking me what the capacity would be at the Whitehaven v Cas match at the Rec in 2005 , I told him 10,000 , shortly afterwards the RFL announced that 12,000 would be the required capacity to enter from 2008

Suddenly several clubs were announcing they had the required capacity despite no discernible changes to stadia that previously had only just passed the 8,000 level

So the LSV is defiantly 12,000 + just

Capacity is slightly less than 12700.

I don't know what the fuss is about ?

It increased due to the north terracing not being seated.

Its a cracking little ground. Why does it need to be bigger when 10300 turn up?

Easy to get parked near the ground for me. Just parked in a street near the retail park. We were a minute late for kick off as well, so it wasn't about getting there early.

Can't really comment on how hard it was to find the ground because we used SatNav to get there!

Was anyone else in the retail park near the Sainsbury's when the chav decided to have a kick off? One of the funniest things I've seen! In stereotypical fashion, gobbed off at a woman in a car, then when a by passer came to help, said something to him, narrowly avoided getting floored, then backed off whilst shouting more threats ("come on then, I'll have ya!" isn't quite as threatening when you're back pedalling!)

He must ve been a HKR fan who got lost.

Sounds like it only needed someone to kneel down behind him and trip him up and it would've been perfect

I came for the weekend, attended both games and stayed in the Park Inn at the Leigh Sports Village and must say I thought everything about the LSV was great. Easy access, good traffic flow, fine parking, nice ground etc.

Yes saw that, it was Ryan Bailey.

Thought the crowd was ok for a fixture against Wales, one big plus point was the amount of families in the seated stand behind the sticks.We had no hassle getting to the LSV either, all in all a decent afternoon out.
