Lancashire FA relocated from its Blackburn headquarters to the County Ground in 1998.

Located next to the Motor Vehicle Museum, the County Ground was originally home to Leyland Motors FC who played in the Lancashire Combination, Cheshire County League, before becoming founder members of the North West Counties Football League.

Whilst well renowned locally for its immaculate playing surface, the County Ground has also seen significant improvements off the pitch over the years, including the construction of a 500-seater stand.

How To Find Us

The County Ground

With a capacity of just over 2,300, The County Ground is utilised throughout the season for over 90 games including Blackburn Rovers FC and Burnley FC development teams, with the venue also hosting Burnley FC Women’s fixtures. In addition to this, The County Ground is the stage for the Final of 20 Lancashire FA County Cup Competitions for ages 12 and above.

Car Parking

The Association's 120-space car park operates a Pay & Display system, with contract permits also available for Monday to Friday usage. 

Complimentary car parking is offered to conference and events attendees. 

3G Artificial Grass Pitch & Small Sided Pitch

Available to hire is the main 3G pitch (as a full pitch or half pitch), and the small-sided facility, which has surrounding fence and rebound boards (approximately 37m x 28m) with recess small sided goals built in.

Both pitches are fully floodlit, available for daytime and evening hire, seven days a week.

Great savings can also be made on block bookings for 10 weeks or more.
