CHECK YOUR TICKET

Seating remains unreserved for the 2021/22 season at Leigh Sports Village, however, tickets will be allocated to a specific area within the stadium so please only enter through the turnstiles indicated on your ticket.  

To ensure COVID compliance, a number of stadium seating changes have also been put in place most notably splitting West Stand into two discrete areas; West Stand North and West Stand South.

- Season Tickets: Any Season Tickets purchased before 23 August have been reallocated to the latest stadium plan and will be reissued to all Season Ticket holders by Tuesday 31 August.

Any Print at Home tickets which have been printed will also need to be disposed of and your new ticket printed when received. Note, all tickets will be issued to the email address registered on your account in time for the relevant game.

COVID SAFETY

We will not be conducting COVID certification checks at this match, but we encourage all fans to take a lateral flow test within 48 hours of the game and anyone who has tested positive, displays symptoms or is required to isolate should not attend the match. Our updated Supporters’ Code of Conduct designed to minimise the risk of the spread of COVID-19 can be found here. 

Please also be mindful that players and management are required to remain in their bubbles and are not able to stop for autographs and photographs before or after the game.

REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED

We will be holding a minute’s silence ahead of the game to remember the former players and fans of both clubs who have passed away since we last had spectators at Leigh Sports Village back in March 2020.
