What is the current league table and recent results for Leek Town FC?
Leek Town competes in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, one of the seventh tier of English football. League standings and live results are available through sports aggregators such as Flashscore and Sofascore, which pull data directly from the league’s official channels. The club’s own website also publishes match reports and results after each fixture.

League table standings
- Current table positions are updated weekly on Flashscore (sports aggregator)
- The official Leek Town site links to league tables and fixtures via Pitchero’s integrated platform
Recent results
Recent match results—including scores, scorers, and match reports—are archived on Pitchero and aggregated by Flashscore. These platforms are updated within hours of each fixture concluding.
For cup competitions such as the FA Trophy or league cup, admission prices sometimes differ from standard league matchday rates. Chorley FC’s admission details show comparable non-league cup pricing structures, though specific Leek cup fixtures should be confirmed via the club’s official announcements.
Top scorers
Individual player statistics, including top scorers, are tracked on Sofascore and Flashscore. These platforms assign player ratings and goal tallies per season, though squad rosters change regularly and the most current squad list is best obtained directly from Leek Town’s Pitchero page.
The implication: league table and results data exists in real-time through third-party aggregators, but the club’s own site remains the authoritative source for squad names and official announcements.
Who are the players and manager of Leek Town FC?
The first-team squad and managerial staff are listed on Leek Town’s Pitchero page, which is the club’s official web presence. Squad information is updated throughout the season as players sign, depart, or move on loan.
Because non-league clubs frequently rotate squads due to budget constraints and player availability, any manager name or squad list printed here would risk being outdated by the time you read it. The Pitchero platform is the best place to find the current lineup before matchday.
Current manager
Managerial appointments at this level are typically announced via the club’s official site and social media channels. Check Leek Town on Pitchero for the latest managerial information.
Notable former players
Some former Leek Town players have moved into higher tiers of the English football pyramid. The club has a history of developing players who attract attention from Football League scouts, particularly during successful cup runs such as the 1989/90 FA Trophy campaign.
What this means: for current squad and manager details, treat the Pitchero site as the single source of truth. Any information reproduced from secondary sources may already be outdated.
What is the stadium of Leek Town FC and how can I get tickets?
Leek Town’s home ground is officially named the F.Ball Community Stadium, though longtime supporters and away guides still commonly refer to it as Harrison Park. The venue is located at Macclesfield Road, Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 8LD (Guiseley AFC away guide). The stadium has a capacity of 3,600 across four stands and features an artificial turf (ATP) surface (Through the Turnstile).
The artificial pitch means the ground rarely suffers cancellations due to waterlogging—and it enabled the club to rename the venue after switching from grass in 2021. For away supporters, the ATP surface also means consistent footing regardless of weather.
Stadium address and access
The F.Ball Community Stadium sits on Macclesfield Road on the outskirts of Leek town centre. Turnstiles 1 and 2 are accessible from the main car park (Whitby Town FC fan guide). Parking is available at the ground, though capacity is limited given the site’s compact footprint.
Matchday ticket prices (2026/27)
Leek Town’s 2026/27 matchday admission prices are set at £14 for adults, £10 for concessions (over 65) and ages 18–21, £5 for under-18s, and free for under-8s (Leek Town FC / Pitchero). Away fixtures sometimes carry different pricing: one 2026 fixture saw adult away tickets at £10 with concessions at £8 (Macclesfield FC), while a 2025 away guide listed £12 adults and £8 concessions (Guiseley AFC). This variation reflects fixture-specific pricing for cup matches or when away clubs set ticket allocations.
How to buy tickets
Leek Town uses the FANBASE ticketing platform for both season tickets and matchday admissions (Leek Town FC / Pitchero). For some fixtures, tickets are available on the day from turnstiles by cash or card, while others are designated all-ticket for away supporters (Macclesfield FC). The club actively encourages supporters to buy in advance via FANBASE.
Season tickets
The 2026/27 season-ticket window runs from 15 June to 31 July (Leek Town FC / Pitchero). Purchasing within this window secures access for all league matches in the season. Season tickets are sold separately from matchday admission and are processed through the FANBASE system.
Where can I find Leek Town FC fixtures and how do I follow the club on social media?
The full fixture list is published on Leek Town’s Pitchero page, which also serves as the club’s primary digital hub. Flashscore mirrors these fixtures with kickoff times, venues, and competition details, making it easy to track upcoming matches on a phone or desktop.
Official social media
Leek Town maintains official accounts on major platforms. The club’s Twitter/X presence carries the handle @leek_townfc, while the Facebook page operates under Leek Town (@leek.townfc). These channels publish fixture announcements, ticket updates, match previews, and results. Away clubs such as FC United of Manchester and Macclesfield FC also reference Leek’s social media when coordinating match arrangements.
Live streaming
Non-league matches are occasionally streamed via club YouTube channels or the FANBASE platform. Not every fixture is broadcast; coverage depends on club resources and competition rules. Check the club’s social media ahead of matchday for any streaming announcements.
The implication: for fixtures, results, and real-time updates, the Pitchero site and Flashscore cover the essentials. Social media adds context—lineup hints, ticket reminders, and post-match reaction that the official site doesn’t always surface.
What is the history and background of Leek Town FC?
Leek Town’s modern history is generally traced to 1946, when the club began competing as Leek Lowe Hamil (Through the Turnstile). Some sources mention earlier informal origins going back to 1876, though these are harder to verify with primary documentation. The club was initially named Leek Lowe Hamil and competed in the Leek and Moorlands League before moving into the Staffordshire County League (Through the Turnstile).
Early years and renaming
Leek Lowe Hamil won the Staffordshire County League championship unbeaten in 1949/50 (Through the Turnstile). The club purchased the ground, then known as Hamil Park, in 1948 for £1,250. Floodlights were erected in 1972, and the venue was later renamed Harrison Park after former chairman Geoff Harrison. The club was officially renamed Leek Town in 1951, winning the Manchester League in its first season under the new name (Through the Turnstile).
League progression
Leek became a founding member of the North West Counties League in 1982 and joined the Northern Premier League in 1987 (Through the Turnstile). The club’s most celebrated achievement came in 1989/90 when it won promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division and reached the FA Trophy final at Wembley Stadium (Through the Turnstile). A decade later, Leek won the Northern Premier League championship in 1996/97, earning promotion to the Football Conference where they competed for several seasons (Through the Turnstile).
Club identity
The club is nicknamed The Blues, reflecting its blue and white kit colours. The crest incorporates a leek, nodding to the town’s agricultural heritage. The ground’s renaming to F.Ball Community Stadium in 2021 reflected the club’s switch to an artificial pitch and its community engagement strategy (Wikipedia).
Notable events
The ground suffered significant flooding in 1998 after a nearby reservoir overflowed and the river alongside the stadium burst its banks (Wikipedia). The highest recorded attendance at Harrison Park was 3,512 for an FA Cup second qualifying round match against Macclesfield Town in 1973/74 (Wikipedia).

Summary
Leek Town FC occupies a distinctive niche in English football—a club that touched Wembley and the Conference while remaining rooted in a Staffordshire town of around 20,000 people. The F.Ball Community Stadium’s 3,600 capacity is small by professional standards, but the ground’s artificial pitch, convenient town-centre location, and accessible ticket pricing (starting at £5 for under-18s) make it an straightforward option for a matchday. The club’s reliance on the FANBASE platform means digital tickets are the default, though some fixtures still allow pay-at-the-door. Visitors who attend a league match at Harrison Park pay £14 for an adult ticket and benefit from the ground’s all-weather surface and compact, community atmosphere.
