North Leigh Football Club was formed in 1908 and has been a cornerstone of the West Oxfordshire community ever since. As one of the founding members of the Witney & District football league, the Millers have spent the majority of their life playing in the local league. In recent years we have been competing in the very competitive Southern Football League at step 4 of the National League pyramid.
Located just a few miles east of the market town of Witney, our Eynsham Park stadium has a capacity of 2,000 (175 seated). Built in the grounds of the beautiful Eynsham Hall estate, we are a very welcoming football club with a modern clubhouse, youth pitches and onsite parking.
Travel Arrangements
Car
Situated 3.5 miles east of Witney and just south of North Leigh village, Eynsham Park is just a stone’s throw away from the A40 that runs from London all the way through to Goodwick in South Wales.
If you are travelling from the North (Banbury) or East (Oxford) then you will join the A40 from the A34 or A44 at the Wolvercote roundabout and then take a shortcut through Freeland where you will find the signs for the club
If you are travelling from the East (Cheltenham) then come off the A40 at Witney where you can follow the signs for the village of North Leigh.
If you would like to find us on google maps then put in ‘North Leigh Football Club’.
If you are using a Sat-Nav then our postcode is ‘OX29 6SL’.
We have plenty of onsite parking available at the ground.
Train
The club is 2.5 miles West of Hanborough train station in Long Hanborough. Trains run every hour on Saturday’s direct from Oxford central train station. Changing at Oxford is the easiest way to get to Hanborough from further afar. See below for bus information to the ground.
Bus
The 233 Bus from Burford to Woodstock has several stops in the village of North Leigh as well as stopping right outside the Hanborough train station on the A4095. It passes through several towns and villages including Carterton, Minster Lovell, Witney, Long Hanborough and Bladon. The best stop for visiting Eynsham Park ground is on Park Road just as you turn off the main road (heading West). This is the 8th stop if you are coming from Hanborough train station.
Tickets
Once you arrive at the ground, match day access is via the supporters turnstile entrance in the top corner of the First Team pitch. Disabled access is via the players entrance gate and a club official will be in attendance to guide and assist as necessary.
Tickets are available to purchase at the turnstile and we can accept cash or card payment.
You are also available to purchase tickets online and in advance using the clubs online ticketing portal, which can be accessed by Clicking Here. We actively encourage supporters to purchase tickets in advance, but NLFC matches are not all-ticket and you are most welcome to pay with cash/card on a match day. Certain high-profile matches may be designated all ticket by the club, but this will be clearly communicated in advance of such fixtures.
Current ticket prices are as follows:
Adults: £10
*Concessions: £5
U16’s: 2
*Concessions include all Armed Forces personnel, Emergency Services, NHS and Students provided they show a valid ID card on the gate.
These are the standard prices for all 1st team league and cup fixtures. It won’t ever be more but we do occasionally offer special discount prices which you can check in advance on our social media accounts or just have a pleasant surprise on game day.
Matchday Experience
So you’ve got your ticket, you’ve parked up, now it’s time for the matchday experience.
Get down to the ground early and soak up the atmosphere, gates open at 1:30pm for 3pm kick offs and 6:30pm for 7:45pm kick offs.
We are regularly showing early Football League fixtures on the big screen and have a great buzz in the clubhouse ahead of kick off.
Club Shop
At present we only offer club merchandise online through our partner website Bateman’s Sports - https://www.batemanssports.co.uk/clubs/north-leigh-fc
We do encourage all fans to wear something yellow whether it be a shirt, jumper, hat, scarf, badge or even socks. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as you cheer on the Millers as long as you can.
Matchday Programme
North Leigh’s amazing match programme is available online and in print for the 22/23 season. Designed in house by the incredibly gifted Ben and Sam, they are available to download via a link from the club website and will be advertised through the club's social platforms during the morning of the match day.
The programme is filled with content including recent match reports, player stats, club history and the weekly non-league column. There are also regular features on our upcoming Academy, Community work and Ladies team.
Match 50/50
Our matchday 50/50 raffle offers a great way to further support the club and have a bit of fun in the process and if you are really lucky, win some money. With prizes regularly in excess of £50, it is well worth the gamble.
The 50/50 raffle tickets can also be bought at the turnstiles when you enter the ground or at the bar inside the clubhouse. The draw is made on the stroke of half time so make sure to buy beforehand.
