First ever visit to Westleigh Park today. Disappointed by the adult entry fee of £16, and £6 for a 16 year old, which is why I’ve chalked off a star. I know why they’re charging that much, but it really doesn’t look after the fans. When I read that Stevenage in League 2 charge £17 and Havant are 2 leagues below, it makes it look very excessive for the level of football you’re watching. Programmes were £2, chips were £2 excellent value compared to other grounds. Car park outside was £5!!! Another rip off as there are plenty of FREE parking spaces around the ground. Just another attempt to fleece unknowing fans. The ground itself is excellent, one of the best I’ve been to. It has covered terracing all the way around. The terracing behind each goal is nice and steep so you get a good elevated view of the pitch. The main stand has plenty of seats and covers two thirds of one side. The volunteers are excellent including one I spoke to from Canada. I asked him what he was doing here, and he said ‘doing this’ 😂😂I also bought a teamsheet for 20p, full colour!! And a pin badge for £3. I would highly recommend a visit.

Modern ground. Three sides almost identical modern terrace. Fourth side has seating and standing. Club shop in the ground. A pub The West Leigh right outside the ground. A "hungry horse" is a short walk away. Be careful it's a decent walk from the railway station to the ground, and all uphill.
