Directions

How to get there

From the A1 turn off onto the A638, towards Wakefield. At the roundabout turn left onto the B6474 towards South Elmsall. Turn left at the traffic lights and then turn right at the T-junction to stay on the B6474. Go over the railway line and turn right at the bottom of the road and then immediately left up Westfield Lane. The ground is signposted on the left after about ½mile.

Frickley Athletic Crest

Frickley are one of the premier teams in the area, playing in the UniBond Northern Premier League, Premier Division. Had a spell in the Conference in what were halcyon days indeed, however they have long gone.

The ground is well over due some renovation, the terraces are starting to be overgrown and the toilets are... well, not nice. There has been a fair bit spoken and written about the possibility of some major developments at the ground, nothing as yet has come of this. The clubhouse is one of the top ones in the area, being very cosy in the cold winter days, and with very reasonably priced drinks. One last thing, my favourite the locals; a great bunch who you cannot fail to like. That is unless you are the butt of their jibes.

Frickley Athletic Programme

I always find it a bit of a surprise when none of our clubs get a mention in the UniBond annual programme awards, especially when you'll see a lot worse than this one. Quite an entertaining read, with plenty of facts and figures to while away the half-time blues. Only downside is the fashionable trend of sticking a price tag on of £1.20 when really £1.00 would probably make it good value for money.
