The home of Harborough football
About the centre
A brand-new indoor football arena in Market Harborough town centre, featuring an Activation Gym and a treatment room. It is William Ronald’s — the WDR on the sign — and it is the base for WDR Coaching.
The building
Six things under one roof
A pitch in the middle of town
Painted white wall to wall, with a navy line round the room and the flags of the world strung down both sides.
Most indoor pitches are on an industrial estate on the edge of somewhere. This one is in the town centre, which means people walk to it — and it means a session finishing at six doesn’t turn into a twenty-minute drive home in the dark.
Along the end wall are the crests of Borough Alliance Football Club, WDR Coaching and Harborough Town, and above them, painted across the gable, the line the place was named for: The home of Harborough football.
Local football
We’re in it, not next to it
A football centre that isn’t part of the local game is just a shed with a carpet in it.
