This is the Local Football Facility Plan (LFFP) for Wakefield. It was prepared by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (KKP) with support from local partners, including:
West Riding County FA
Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA
Football Foundation
Wakefield Metropolitan District Council
Leeds United Community Foundation
Yorkshire Sport Foundation
Sport England
Every local area in the Country will have a LFFP to enable investment in football facilities to be accurately targeted.
The Football Association, the Premier League and Sport England (on behalf of Government). This partnership finances the National Football Facility Strategy (NFFS) and commissions the Football Foundation to deliver it.
The national funding partners have significantly increased investment to accelerate efforts to deliver more and better football facilities for the grassroots game. The purpose of this plan is to identify the priority projects for potential investment in Wakefield.
As the nation’s most popular team sport, football has the power to contribute positively to vital social outcomes and health priorities. To maximise this power, facilities have to be welcoming environments to attract first-time users and repeat visits, whether for informal, recreational or competitive football.
Research clearly and continually demonstrates the positive impact high-quality football facilities, in the right locations, can have on participation and enjoyment. Latent demand exists, but facility quantity and quality has to ‘step up’ if football is to reach out to everyone.
£1.3billion has been spent by football and Government since 2000 to enhance existing football facilities and build new ones. However, more is needed if football and Government’s shared objectives for participation, individual well-being and community cohesion are to be achieved.
Nationally, direct investment will be increased – initially to £69 million per annum from football and Government (a 15% increase on recent years). Locally, the work has already started* - this LFFP will guide the allocation of 90% of national funds and forge stronger partnerships with local stakeholders to develop key sites. This, together with local match-funding will deliver over one billion pounds of investment into football facilities over the next 10-years.
This LFFP, with guidance from local partners, has developed a list of high level projects for potential investment. Each is aligned to the investment priorities set out in the National Football Facilities Strategy, which include:
The priority projects for potential investment identified in this plan will help develop a sustainable network of quality facilities to drive participation across all parts of the game. Central to this are five key success factors: quality, inclusivity, sustainability, engagement and usage. Each identified project takes account of these factors.
This LFFP will, in effect, be the go-to document for football facility investment in Wakefield.
Whilst it identifies priority projects for potential investment, it does not guarantee the success of future funding applications. Each project must still follow an application process to show how it will deliver key participation outcomes, become a quality & sustainable facility and demonstrate suitable match-funding.
When each project is in a position to proceed, the Football Foundation will determine a suitable timeframe to submit a grant application and pre-application support will be provided by West Riding County FA, Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA and the Football Foundation.
A LFFP is an investment portfolio of priority projects for potential investment - it is not a detailed demand and supply analysis of all pitch provision in a local area. It cannot be used as a replacement for a Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) and it will not be accepted as an evidence base for site change of use or disposal.
A LFFP will however build on available/existing local evidence and strategic plans and may adopt relevant actions from a PPS and/or complement these with additional investment priorities.

Wakefield is in the Yorkshire and The Humber region.
The current population of the Authority (ONS 2016 Mid-Year Estimate) is 336,834. This is expected to rise to 368,810 by 2039.
41.2% of the Wakefield population is within NS SEC classification 6-8 (lower socio-economic groups) which is comparably higher than the 30.6% national average.
Wakefield’s ethnic composition is primarily White (95.4%) and this is higher than the national average (85.4%).
The proportion of Wakefield’s population represented by the BAME community is 4.6%. This is below the national average (14.6%).
*ONS data and Sport England Active Lives Survey 2016/17
The local authority has a Playing Pitch Strategy in place (2016). The key findings and stated overarching priorities are to increase the supply of floodlit 11v11 3G FTPs, improve pitch quality through improved maintenance regimes and pitch works, (linking to the FA Pitch Improvement Programme) and to explore Community Asset Transfer (CAT) with development minded clubs to selfmanage facilities. Current demand for grass football pitches is able to be met, however there will be a forecasted deficiency of grass pitch capacity in future. There is a key current and future shortfall of 11v11 3G FTPs.
The Wakefield Greenspace Strategy (2014) identifies significant pressures on budgets to maintain and develop parks and open space sites, including playing pitches. Forecasted cuts in revenue funding will require the Street Scene Services (also responsible for sports pitch maintenance) to explore new and innovative approaches to management and funding of greenspaces in collaboration with stakeholders.
Wakefield’s levels of inactivity are higher than the regional average. Female participation in physical activity is identified as a key challenge. Consequently, female participation in football is also low and the West Riding County FA has identified the area as a priority for the development of women and girls football.
Wakefield is covered by West Riding County FA and Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA which provide governance and development support to all aspects of local football including coaches, referees, volunteers, clubs and leagues; supporting football for all. The County FAs each have a designated facilities investment lead officer who works to ensure the right facilities are located in the right locations.
The Regional Engagement Manager and Regional Technical Project Manager at the Football Foundation work collaboratively with the County FAs to provide pre-application support to priority projects for potential investment.
*See Football Foundation Website for more information: http://www.footballfoundation.org.uk/impact/where-our-money-goes
Has a network of planning managers who have a statutory role in the planning system to protect playing fields and provide consultation responses to planning applications relating to sporting facilities . They also play a key role in strategic planning for sports facilities, providing advice and support to local authorities to assess need for facilities in their local area.
These continue to expand and enhance their range of community delivery, offering a variety of programmes and services to support local communities (sporting and non-sporting). The Leeds United Foundation runs a variety of health, education, engagement, football and sporting activities within the local area.
There is no leisure operator for community football facilities in Wakefield, with any facilities operated in-house by Wakefield Council. Key facilities for football include a sand based artificial pitch and MUGA at Featherstone Sports Complex and a natural grass pitch within the athletics track at Thornes Park Stadium
This has taken place with several community groups in Wakefield. Ten individuals (representing 11 local organisations) were consulted. These include:
(See Appendix B for full list of consultees)
There are over 91,000 community football teams in England, spread over an expansive network of clubs and leagues. Wakefield has a total of 331 teams, which is higher than local areas of a similar size.
The FA is investing to support clubs both on and off the pitch which includes an aim to have a qualified FA coach with every youth team by 2020/21. In addition, it will support 1,000 clubs to create full player pathways from youth to adult teams and develop 150 community football hubs with male and female pathways, disability and recreational playing opportunities.
Over the last 10-years there has been a significant national increase in the number of large multi-team football clubs. In Wakefield there are 20 clubs which have more than ten registered teams. The largest of these (based upon 2017-18 affiliation data) are:
*The FA Whole Game System 2017/18
Three leagues operate in Wakefield. They offer competitive opportunities for many different players, including youth and adult males. Whilst there are no specific league opportunities for women and girls or players with a disability within Wakefield, there are however suitable opportunities provided in neighbouring leagues.
Wakefield largest local leagues (2017-18) include:
The County FA reports that there is significant cross boundary migration in Wakefield due to teams migrating outwards to the Huddersfield and District Junior League and the Garforth Junior League.
Disability football
There are 9.4 million people in England with a long-standing limiting disability, illness or condition which equates to 18% of the population – almost one in five. Football playing opportunities should be flexible, inclusive and accessible for everyone, whatever their level of ability. This could entail inclusion in mainstream activity or teams/sessions specifically for people with a disability.
In Wakefield there are 11 football teams/sessions specifically for people with a disability. It is a priority of the County FA to grow this provision. For talented players the FA run Regional Centres and England national squads.
The FA has big ambitions for the female game and aims to double levels of participation by 2020. To achieve this requires a combined effort across four pathways: education, recreation, competition and talent.
Education environments have a huge impact on the first experience of football for young girls. This pathway can offer many opportunities for females of all ages to develop and grow a lifelong interest in football.
FA Wildcats girls football centres provide the first step on the recreational pathway, the programme provides girls aged 5-11 with regular opportunities to play football in a fun and engaging environment. Wakefield has eight FA Wildcats girls football centres and the priority is to grow this activity.
At 17, Wakefield’s number of female teams is comparable with local areas of a similar size. The County FA’s priority is to support existing clubs to grow and encourage more clubs to develop playing opportunities for females. The local girls league is the West Riding Girls League and matches are played on a home and away basis. The league is expected to grow its provision in future years. The local adult female league is the West Riding Women’s League and matches are played on a home and away basis. The league is expected to grow its provision in future years.
For talented players, the most local FA Regional Talent Club (RTC) is Leeds United which is located in Sherburn (Selby). Higher level talent pathway opportunities are also provided regionally and nationally by the FA, culminating in the England Women’s national squads. The most local Women’s Super League team is Manchester City which provides player pathway opportunities for gifted and talented female players and a spectator interest for fans.
Many different types of small-sided football are played in England, from teams and leagues to recreational and informal. It is an established and important part of the modern game.
Many different types of small-sided football are played in England, from teams and leagues to recreational and informal. It is an established and important part of the modern game.
Small-sided teams & leagues are organised and competitive activities; typically with players registered to clubs and affiliated to leagues and their County FAs. Examples include Futsal and local small-sided leagues running at venues such as sports halls, 3G FTPs or small-sided 3G centres.
Key local providers include:
Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced, small sided team game that is widely played across the world. Typically it’s played on an indoor surface with hockey-sized goals and a size 4 football with reduced ball bounce. It is the FA’s aim to ensure Futsal is available across the country.
There are currently no futsal teams in Wakefield that play in leagues. It is a priority for the County FA to grow Futsal for youth and adult players.
Recreational football is played where facilities are typically booked and there might be someone to help organise. Examples include FA Just Play sessions, walking football and casual pitch hire for small-sided match play.
There are currently no FA Just Play Centres in Wakefield. Walking football sessions are delivered by a range of community organisation such as Wakefield Walking Football Club. Walking football and Just Play are areas that the County FA has prioritised for further growth and development. Other local recreational football programmes include sessions delivered by community youth groups such as Altofts Community and Sports Centre.
Informal football is played in local parks and green spaces – it is free, open access and often played spontaneously (normal clothing is worn). Common examples include a kick-about at a local park or on a multi-use games area (MUGA).
Currently, informal football in Wakefield is played across the District. Wakefield Park, Thornes Park, Ossett Park and Kettlethorpe School are key site locations that are heavily used.
The key strengths of local football in Wakefield include adult male Saturday & Sunday provision and it is recommended that this is sustained and also encouraged to grow further. However, there are aspects of football provision that are lower than local authorities of a similar size , particularly provision for women and girls.
It is therefore recommended that the future football development priorities for Wakefield are:
The facilities required to assist this are now set out in the Assets and Opportunities section.
Additionally, each priority project that progresses to a funding application via the Football Foundation will produce a detailed ‘site development plan’ specifying all football development activity, usage and key partner engagement. .
03
This section reviews existing football facility assets in Wakefield. It identifies current issues and presents opportunities for improvements, including a list of priority projects for potential investment.
Local assets and opportunities have been reviewed inline with four investment priorities:
To ensure a consistent and high quality approach, each local area has been reviewed applying a standard approach, supplemented by input from consultation with local partners and stakeholder organisations.
While each investment priority is reviewed individually, it is understood that they can be inter-reliant; account is, thus, taken of these potential connections.
04
3G FTPs are a high quality and indispensable part of modern football facilities; their impact cannot be underestimated. In recent years the industry has seen major innovations and improvements to artificial surfaces (and sports lighting). This has created playing surfaces that replicate a good standard natural turf pitch whilst significantly increasing levels of use (x20). All FTPs must have sports lighting to achieve this.
The high quality, consistent playing surface is the ideal environment to play the game and for young people to learn. With regular maintenance programmes, FTPs can be heavily used all year round with no decline in quality. They almost completely negate annoying fixture cancellations during winter months, helping football to be a key part of a regular physical activity habit.
High capacity levels offer a great opportunity to embrace all formats and engage all participants. A full-sized 3G caters for an average of 1,200 participants per week and is suitable for various location types. That means being fully inclusive to all sections of the community, with a particular focus on under-represented groups such as women and girls, people with a disability, BAME communities and people from lower socio-economic groups.
The way 3G FTPs are used is rapidly changing; current line-marking systems allow for match play across all formats of football (5v5, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11). This enables significant levels of match-play to be transferred from grass to 3G.
The national ‘Mini Pitch’ programme delivers small 3G FTPs at primary school sites to provide a high quality introduction to football and get children more physically active. While mini pitches are reviewed in this section, they are not included in the demand and supply analysis for 3G FTPs.
The Wakefield PPS identifies a requirement for 12 full sized 3G FTPs in total to service affiliated football team training demand. FA data states that there are currently four full size and four small sided 3G FTPs in Wakefield; this is a shortfall of eight full size pitches relative to assessed demand.
Existing 3G FTPs in Wakefield include:
Additionally, there are currently two small-sided 3G FTP centres in Wakefield:
All four of the 3G FTPs are available for community use. Two are on the FA Register for 3G FTPs (meaning they are quality checked and can be used for football match play). It is recommended that the two remaining pitches (Minsthorpe Academy and De Lacey Academy) become registered to enable more match play on 3G.
The geographical spread of existing facilities is uneven; the majority are located in the North East and South of the local area. There are facilities/provision gaps in the North West (Wakefield, Eastwood, Ossett), North (Normanton) and East (Pontefract, Knottingley) of the area despite high levels of population, and it is recommended that these are addressed.
Local consultation reveals common issues with low availability and lack of match play on 3G and it is recommended that these are addressed.
West Riding County FA and the Football Foundation are working with St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School to develop a potential application for funding for a new floodlit 11v11 3G FTP. It is not clear whether funding for the proposed scheme is in place and should this not be achievable then Council managed Featherstone Sports Complex offers scope for conversion of the existing sand based pitch to 3G FTP.
Ossett United FC is planning grass to stadia 3G FTP conversion of the pitch at Dimple Wells. This is identified as a priority project though whilst the Club was previously in discussions around partnership funding, has now made the decision to pursue a self-funded scheme. Plans are for the new 3G FTP to be made available for community use but the level of access in practice and its impact on demand should be established as part of a review of 3G FTP provision in the area
Six priority projects for potential investment have been identified. Undersupply was calculated using the FA 3G FTP demand and supply model. Each site was selected by local partners based on a rationale of good access, high population, geographical spread, success and quality of existing facilities:
1 - Five Towns Leisure Hub (at Pontefract Park) - new floodlit 11v11 3G FTP
2 - St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School - new floodlit 11v11 3G FTP
3 - Wakefield Central area (Thornes Park Stadium or site of new Wakefield Community Stadium TBC) - new floodlit 11v11 3G FTP
4 - Wakefield South East area (Frickley Country Park with Frickley Athletic FC - new floodlit 11v11 3G FTP or Hemsworth Sports Centre - 3G FTP conversion of existing sand based artificial pitch)
a - Frickley Country Park (with Frickley Athletic FC)
b - Hemsworth Sports Centre
5 - West Yorkshire Sport & Social Club - new floodlit 11v11 3G FTP
6 - Wakefield North West area (site TBC – identified area of need) - new floodlit 11v11 3G FTP

Playing fields are one of the most important resources for sport in England. All football players should have the opportunity to play on good quality grass pitches. However, FA data shows that 63% of pitches in England are poor / low standard and 1 in 6 games are cancelled. As such, poor pitch quality is consistently cited as the number one issue for players.
The priority is, therefore, to sustainably improve grass pitch quality across all main pitch owners (local authorities, education establishments and clubs). However, the level of maintenance required to obtain good quality standards is regularly affected by restricted budgets and limited knowledge/ training. Compaction and grass coverage are two key causes of poor quality pitches. Both are commonly treated via a maintenance driven solution (and do not necessarily require costly drainage schemes).
Playing fields are also a valuable resources for informal play and open-access sites are encouraged but, for many, problems such as dog fouling and vandalism mean that they need to be protected with mitigation measures such as fencing.
In many local areas the key challenge is to create a sustainable approach to provide good quality football pitches for the long-term. Many local authorities (78%) intend to increase pitch hire fees in the future. However, many players (63%) believe facilities are already expensive and some (16%) believe prices are prohibitive. A sustainable solution should, therefore, carefully balance pitch quality and affordability.
While the education sector (37%) and local authorities (32%) are still the principal asset owners of grass pitches, clubs / leagues own or maintain an increasing share (currently 25%). Assets and opportunities have been considered across each sector.
Although large (3+ pitch) strategic sites are important and make up much of the project list within the LFFPs, this does not mean that other club, league and community/voluntary sites are not important or eligible for funding. These sites are key to the Football Foundation's Grass Pitch Programme to deliver 20,000 good quality pitches.

The PitchPower app is the gateway to any grass pitch improvement funding. It is the tool that will allow clubs and organisations to complete pitch inspections and access funds.
If you haven't signed up and completed a PitchPower pitch inspection, you will need to do this before you can apply for the Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund.

There are currently 30 grass pitch sites in Wakefield with three or more full-size pitch equivalents containing 116 grass pitches. Of these, one is considered to have good quality pitches, 22 are of standard quality and seven poor quality.
Local consultation shows common issues with poor quality pitches, especially at local authority managed sites, and it is recommended that these are addressed.
Ten priority projects for potential investment have been identified. Each site has three or more full-size pitch equivalents of poor/standard quality. Pitch quality rating was evidenced by PPS and qualified by local partners. Due to significant number of grass pitch sites in Wakefield local partners did not select all sites and prioritised only 10, containing 39 full-size pitch equivalents. The prioritisation was made by local partners with the rationale of selecting sites in the poorest condition, that had the most pitches, that were most well utilised:
7 - Ferry Lane - natural grass pitch improvements
8 - Hemsworth Sports Centre - natural grass pitch improvements
9 - Kellingley Welfare Social Club - natural grass pitch improvements
10 - Lofthouse Gate - natural grass pitch improvements
11 - Minsthorpe Sports & Fitness (Minsthorpe Academy) - natural grass pitch improvements
12 - Pontefract Collieries FC - natural grass pitch improvements
1 - Pontefract Park (with Five Towns Leisure Hub) - natural grass pitch improvements
13 - Springmill Playing Fields - natural grass pitch improvements
14 - The Sidings - natural grass pitch improvements
15 - Thornes Park - natural grass pitch improvements

These can provide a number of different benefits. While the primary function is normally the provision of changing rooms to accommodate match-play and training (for players and officials), there can be equal value in facilities such as community and education rooms, catering facilities and spectator toilets.
Each project will take a progressive approach to pavilions and clubhouses (beyond the provision of changing rooms) and be open to new opportunities to engage the whole community. That means, creating environments that are welcoming to players, spectators, volunteers, officials and all sections of the community.
Such assets should support other investment priorities (e.g. 3G FTPs and grass pitches) and be located at sites that will have the greatest impact on local communities. To ensure this, focus is given to sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents. However, as pitch quality is the number one priority for players this is prioritised before investment in changing room pavilions /clubhouses.
Clearly, facilities need to be well managed and maintained to keep them in a good state of repair. Consideration will be given to reviewing the best operator solution for key sites and the installation of revenue generating features such as catering facilities and community rooms. To achieve this, business plan support will be given to each priority project as it progresses to an application to the Football Foundation.
Of the 30 key sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents in Wakefield, 22 have suitable changing room pavilions/clubhouses, three have existing facilities that need improvement/replacement and three have no facilities and require a new changing pavilion. Two sites do not have onsite changing pavilions but do not require them, such as Frickley Country Park which is serviced by changing provision at Frickley Athletic FC, recently improved with Football Foundation investment.
Furthermore, one site with less than three full-size pitch equivalents (Ferry Lane) is regarded as requiring new pavilion provision and has been included as a priority project.
Seven priority projects for potential investment have therefore been identified. Each project has three or more full-size pitch equivalents and has either no facilities or was assessed against a standard criteria to have an unsuitable pavilion:
7 - Ferry Lane - new changing pavilion
10 - Lofthouse Gate - new changing pavilion
13 - Springmill Playing Fields- refurbished changing pavilion
16 - Common Road Playing Field - new changing pavilion
17 - Queens Park - refurbished changing pavilion
18 - Slack Lane - refurbished changing pavilion
19 - Southdale Fields (Green Park Playing Fields) - new changing pavilion
07
Good facilities are important to all small-sided football players, but it is important to understand the different formats of the small-sided game and the various facility types they relate to.
Research suggests that small-sided players in teams & leagues, and in recreational sessions, prefer a 3G surface type because it replicates a good standard natural turf pitch. These facilities have already been covered in the 3G FTP section of this LFFP.
Indoor environments currently accommodate 20% of football participation and are also popular with players in teams & leagues and recreational sessions . Indoor sports halls are most popular, along with some community halls and indoor 3G centres. Environments need to be engaging, have clear line-marking and the correct size goalposts.
Informal players require facilities that are open and free to access as this enables play opportunities that are often spontaneous. In these circumstances multi-use games areas (MUGAs) can be effective in areas of high urban population and limited green space. Such facilities can be modern, bright, creative and engaging. While this plan will identify suitable locations for such facilities, the design and specifics of the facility type can be agreed at a later stage with Football Foundation staff when projects are ready to progress to pre-application stage.
Parks and open green spaces are also important to informal play and require goalposts and zones that are free from litter and dog fouling.
Local consultation reveals there are two indoor facilities that requires improvement to develop small-sided football:
20 - Lightwaves Community Leisure Centre - refurbish indoor football facility
21 - Featherstone Sports Complex - refurbish indoor football facility
Three potential opportunities for MUGA’s have been identified. In each case the rationale is based on the site being in an area of high urban population , limited green space , high levels of deprivation, high levels of lower social economic groups and corresponding high local demand for informal football:
22 - Haw Hill Park – new MUGA
23 - Rose Estate Playing Fields – new MUGA
24 - Smawthorne Park – new MUGA
Following local consultation, one location has been identified to support small-sided informal football. Here, the rationale is based on highly popular local parks and open green spaces with suitable space / areas to increase informal football:
25 - Thornes Park – new informal football provision
08
This list compiles all of the priority projects for potential investment. Each project has been scored against two principle factors: deliverability and outcomes (quality, inclusivity, sustainability, engagement and usage).
The list will be used flexibly; a projects ‘rating’ does not determine the exact order that it will progress to a funding application to the Football Foundation as we understand there are many factors that influence this. The process for moving a project from this list and into the ‘pre-application stage’ will be managed by the Football Foundation.
