This is the Local Football Facility Plan (LFFP) for Walsall. It was prepared by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (KKP) with support from local partners, including:
What is the goal?
Every local area in the Country will have a LFFP to enable investment in football facilities to be accurately targeted.
Who is behind this?
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.
What is the purpose of this plan?
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 Walsall.
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 Walsall.
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 both Staffordshire and Birmingham County FAs 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.

Walsall is an industrial Authority in the West Midlands of England. It is located eight miles north-west of the City of Birmingham and six miles east of the City of Wolverhampton.
It takes its name from its largest settlement, but covers a larger area which includes the towns of Aldridge, Bloxwich, Brownhills, Darlaston and Willenhall.
Walsall’s population is 278,715 (2016). By 2038 this is expected to increase by 12.5% to 311,326. The most significant change will see a 38.9% increase in those aged 65+.
Nearly half the population live in the 20% most deprived areas in the Authority, predominantly in the west.
Walsall’s BAME profile differs from that of England as a whole. It has nearly double the number of people classed as Asian (15.2%).
*ONS data and Sport England Active Lives Survey 2016/17
Walsall Council’s Corporate and Health and Well-Being strategies, commit it to increase levels of physical activity, improve mental health and well-being and the management of long term conditions and target obesity in children. It is also committed to ensuring that its green spaces encourage and provide an active lifestyle.
The Local Authority has a Playing Pitch Strategy in place; which was written in 2016 and adopted in 2018. It acknowledges there are three full size 3G AGPs within Walsall, all of which are floodlit. In order to satisfy demand, there is a need for nine community available full size 3G pitches, resulting in a shortfall of six. This figure was calculated by taking the overall total number of teams and dividing them by 42. Since the Strategy has been completed, an additional four pitches have been built, resulting in a total of seven pitches.
In addition, it also highlighted that the available grass pitch stock was insufficient to cater for the volume of adult and youth match sessions to meet total current and future demand based across the majority of analysis areas.
The Authority currently owns and manages key strategic leisure facilities including Oak Park Active Living Centre and also Bloxwich Active Living Centre. Oak Park Active Living Centre has a 3G FTP which, consultation indicates, operates at 100% utilisation. It supports affiliated and recreational football, as well as a number of health and well being programmes, including a several walking football sessions.
Walsall is covered by both the Birmingham and Staffordshire County FAs which provides governance and development support to all aspects of local football including coaches, referees, volunteers, clubs and leagues; supporting football for all. Each County FA has 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 FA 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). There are three CCOs which operate in the Local Authority, Walsall Football Club Community Foundation, Aston Villa Community Programme and the Albion Foundation.
All three deliver a variety of health, education, engagement, football and sporting activities within the local area. Examples include the delivery of a Friday night football session by the Albion Foundation at Oak Park and Walsall Football Club providing a walking football session at Sneyd Community Centre.
Both Aston University and the University of Wolverhampton both have indoor and grass pitches which support local community clubs. In addition, Wolverhampton University is a Wildcat Centre and also hosts a Futsal league in partnership with Birmingham FA.
This has taken place with a broad and diverse set of community groups in Walsall. 20 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. Walsall has a total of 452 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 Walsall, 10 clubs have more than 10 registered teams. The largest of these (based upon 2017-18 affiliation data) are:
*The FA Whole Game System - Season 2017/18
Five leagues operate in Walsall. They offer competitive opportunities for many different players, including women and girls, youth and adults. While there are no specific league opportunities for disability within Walsall, there is however suitable provision provided across the Staffordshire and Birmingham Counties. Walsall’s largest local leagues (2017-18) include:
The County FA reports that there is significant cross boundary migration in Walsall due to teams migrating inwards and outwards to the Cannock, Lichfield, Birmingham and Warwickshire areas to participate in male, female and disability leagues.
There are 9.4million 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 Walsall there is one football teams / sessions specifically for people with a disability. It is a priority of the County FA to grow and sustain 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. Walsall has two FA Wildcats girls football centres and the priority is to grow and sustain this activity.
At 41, Walsall’s number of female teams is comparable to 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 Staffordshire Girls and Ladies League, and Central Warwickshire Girls and Women’s League and matches are played on both a home and away and central venue basis. The league is expected to grow its provision in future years. The local adult female league is the Staffordshire Girls and Ladies League and Central Warwickshire Girls and Women’s League and matches are played home and away and the league is expected to grow its provision in future years.
For talented players, the most local FA Regional Talent Club (RTC’s) are Aston Villa, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers which are located in the local area. 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 Birmingham City Ladies FC 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.
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 6 futsal teams in Walsall that play in the BCFA Youth Futsal League at key site locations including Wolverhampton University, Walsall Campus. It is a priority for the County FA to grow Futsal for male and female, 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 5 FA Just Play Centres in Walsall. Walking football sessions are delivered by a range of community organisation such as Walsall Housing Group and Walsall 99ers. Walking football and Just Play are areas that the County FA has prioritised for further growth and development. Other local recreational football programmes include man vs fat, pro-club community scheme activity and a number of casual bookings which are delivered by a range of organisations including Professional Clubs, Local Authorities, Grassroots Clubs, Workplace based activity, NHS, Charities and the Police.
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).
The key strengths of local football in Walsall include Mini Soccer, Female and recreational provision and it is recommend that this is sustained and also encouraged to grow further. However, there are aspects of football provision that lower than local authorities of a similar size, these include Disability Football and Futsal.
It is therefore recommended that the future football development priorities for Walsall are:
1.Growing and sustaining Mini Soccer
2.Sustaining Youth and Adult Male football
3.Sustaining Youth and Adult Female football
4.Growing the number of girls Wildcat Centres
5.Growing recreational opportunities
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. .

This section reviews existing football facility assets in Walsall. 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.
FA data states that there are currently seven 3G FTPs in Walsall, of which six are available for community use. Walsall's PPS (2016) determined the demand for 3G FTP's based on 376 teams, whereas for the purposes of this report, demand for 3G pitches has been calculated using (2018) affiliation data. In summary, based on the current FA affiliation data, (452 teams), there is the demand for 11 full size FTPs resulting in a current shortfall of five full size FTPs.
Existing community available 3G FTPs in Walsall include:
Additionally, there is currently one small-sided 3G FTP centre in Walsall:
Six of the seven pitches are available for community use. The seventh, at Walsall Football Club (Bescot Stadium) is not available for community use and consultation indicates that this pitch will remain unavailable. The pitch is solely used for its first team, academy teams and community programmes. Three pitches are on the FA Register for 3G FTPs (meaning they are quality checked and can be used for football match play). It is strongly recommend that the three remaining community pitches are on the register to enable more match play on 3G.
The geographical spread of existing facilities is uneven; with the majority of facilities are located in the south west of the Authority, with limited provision elsewhere. There are no facilities in the north west of the Authority despite high levels of population and deprivation in this area and it is recommended that this is addressed.
Local consultation reveals issues with high pricing and low availability on 3G pitches. In the south east of the Authority, despite there being a good supply of pitches, the cost of hiring these pitches is beyond many community groups wishing to use these site. Asqa United, for example, cannot afford to use facilities such as the University of Wolverhampton and restricted to train in Palfrey Park. Football Foundation and County FA to work with providers to ensure access to facilities accommodates all local users.
In the north west of the Authority, where there is a high number of affiliated teams, there is a significant lack of availability on site to support training demand. This is demonstrated through the lack of availability at Oak Park Active Living Centre.
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, high levels of deprivation, and high levels of lower social economic groups :
1- Oak Park Active Living Centre: New floodlit 11 v 11 3G FTP or 2* Floodlit 9V9 3G FTP
2- Aldridge Airport: New floodlit 2* 11 v 11 3G FTP (Double hub site)
3- Bloxwich Active Living Centre, Leamore Park: New floodlit 11 v 11 3G FTP
4- Walsall College: New floodlit 11 v 11 3G FTP
5- Darlaston Recreational Ground: New floodlit 11 v 11 3G FTP
6- Dales Lane, Rushall Olympic: New floodlit 11 v 11 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 13 grass pitch sites in Walsall with three or more full-size pitch equivalents containing 49 grass pitches. Of these, eight are considered to have poor quality pitches.
In addition, there is one site of less than three pitches which are deemed to be strategically important and identified as needing investment.
Local consultation shows common issues with poor quality pitches, in particularly drainage is an issue at certain sites and it is recommended that these are addressed.
Nine priority projects for potential investment have been identified. Each site has three or more full-size pitch equivalents of poor quality. Pitch quality rating was evidenced by PPS and qualified by local partners. The prioritisation was informed by local partners with the rationale of selecting sites in the poorest condition that met with the strategic focus to improve Club and community pitches :
7- Doebank Park: Works to natural grass pitches
8- Fordbrook: Works to natural grass pitches
9- Broadway West: Works to natural grass pitches
10- Great Bridge Road: Works to natural grass pitches
11- King George Crescent: Works to natural grass pitches
13- Willenhall Memorial Park: Works to natural grass pitches
2- Aldridge Airport: Works to natural grass pitches
14- Clayhanger Park: Works to natural grass pitches
15- Anchor Meadow: Works to natural grass pitches
06
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 14 key sites in Walsasll , five have suitable changing room pavilions/clubhouses, seven have facilities that need improvement/ replacement and two have no facilities which require a new changing pavilion..
Nine 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 deemed to have an unsuitable pavilion:
2- Aldridge Airport: Changing pavilion upgrade
7- Doebank Park: Changing pavilion upgrade
8- Fordbrook: Changing pavilion upgrade
9- Broadway West: New changing pavilion
10- Great Bridge Road: Upgrade changing pavilion
11- King George Crescent: Upgrade changing pavilion
13- Willenhall Memorial Park: New Changing pavilion
14- Clayhanger Park: Changing pavilion upgrade
15- Anchor Meadow: Changing pavilion upgrade
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 is one indoor facility that requires improvement to develop small-sided football. Including:
16- Manor Farm Community Centre: Sports hall upgrade
Five 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:
17- Glastonbury Crescent Estate: New MUGA
18- George Rose Park: MUGA Upgrade
19- Trevor Road Estate: MUGA Upgrade
20- Brownhills West Estate : New MUGA
21- Rutter Street Arena: MUGA Upgrade
Following local consultation, no locations have been identified to support small-sided informal football.
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.
