Leigh RMI begin their pre-season schedule this coming Saturday when they go to Clitheroe in their first friendly ahead of next season's Conference North campaign.

Car; To reach Clitheroe’s ground, travel down the M6, leaving the motorway at junction 31 and initially head for Blackburn. At the top of a short dual carriageway, bear left at the Swallow Hotel towards Clitheroe. Continue along the A59 and carry straight on at the roundabout instead of going left along the A671 into town. You need to turn left off the A59 at the next sign for Clitheroe - watch for the "Information" and "telephone" symbols. Now head along Pendle Road, across the mini-roundabout and you'll need to find a parking space once you see the postbox on your left. The ground itself is further along on your right behind the Bridge pub and the turnstile is up the narrow lane to the right of the pub.

 

You may also be able to sort a lift from Leigh here.

 

Train; Clitheroe station is only seven or eight minutes walk from the ground, which is reached via Clitheroe town centre. There are trains to Clitheroe from both Bolton and Manchester so it’s a pretty simple journey.

 

Admission; likely to be £5 for adults.
