Guiseley are based at Nethermoor Park and are one of West Yorkshire’s well-known non-league clubs. The Lions have competed in the National League and National League North, with a strong local identity and a traditional ground between Leeds and Bradford.
Guiseley play at Nethermoor Park, a traditional ground on Otley Road with a strong non-league character and a close relationship with the neighbouring cricket club. It is a compact, four-sided ground with a mixture of seating, covered standing, open standing and clubhouse facilities.
The main seated stand sits along one side of the pitch, with further spectator accommodation around the other sides. The ground is enclosed enough to create a good atmosphere, especially for larger matches, but it still feels like a classic community football venue rather than a modern stadium. The clubhouse and food outlets are important parts of the matchday experience.
Nethermoor Park is the kind of ground where the exact experience can change depending on segregation. For normal fixtures it can feel open and relaxed, but for bigger games the club can separate supporters and restrict access to some areas, including the clubhouse.
Segregation at Nethermoor Park is fixture-dependent. Guiseley's own home game information explains that during segregated matches, away fans cannot access the clubhouse, while for non-segregated matches that area is open to all supporters.
For many league matches, away supporters can usually enter with general admission and choose a viewing position around the ground. In older away information for visiting clubs, away fans have been advised to use specific turnstiles even when the match itself was not segregated, so it is worth checking the latest fixture guidance.
There is no permanent away end used for every game. If segregation is in place, follow the away entrance, turnstile and section information issued by Guiseley and the visiting club. If it is not in place, away fans should be able to use the ground more freely, including the clubhouse where permitted.
Use the A65 southbound/northbound from the Dales or Leeds side, then follow Guiseley signs. Nethermoor is near the town centre, so traffic and parking need planning.
Come north from Leeds via the A65, or use the ring road and Otley Road routes. Avoid cutting through small residential streets around the ground.

Leeds Bradford Airport is useful for West Yorkshire fixtures, but it has no rail station. Use the airport bus to Leeds or Bradford, or a taxi if the ground is outside the city.
For Guiseley, this airport makes most sense because Leeds Bradford is very close to Guiseley. From the airport, aim for Guiseley or Leeds. A taxi from the airport to Guiseley is usually the simplest option. By public transport, go into Leeds or Bradford and connect to the Wharfedale line.
Manchester Airport is the main airport for Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and much of the north-west. The airport has its own rail station with direct services into Manchester Piccadilly and other northern hubs.
For Guiseley, this airport makes most sense because Manchester offers more flights and a direct rail route towards Leeds. From the airport, aim for Leeds, then Guiseley. Take rail from Manchester Airport to Leeds, then the Wharfedale line to Guiseley. It is longer but useful for wider flight choice.

Nethermoor Park is a good traditional away day, but supporters should check segregation and clubhouse arrangements before travelling. The clubhouse is a useful facility, but away access can be restricted when segregation is used, so do not rely on it for every fixture.
The ground is on Otley Road and is reasonably accessible from Guiseley centre, with local pubs and food options nearby. Parking around the ground can be limited on busier matchdays, so allow extra time and be considerate of local residents.
For neutral supporters, the main seated stand is the best option for a clearer side-on view, while the terraces give a more typical non-league atmosphere. If the match is unsegregated, it is worth moving around to see the ground from different angles. If the match is segregated, stay in the area allocated to your ticket or entrance.
Guiseley use normal non-league ticketing arrangements, with pay on the gate common for standard league matches and online or advance sales possible for selected fixtures. Ticket prices and entry arrangements should be checked on the club's match information before travelling.
Away supporters should check whether the fixture is segregated. If it is, away access, clubhouse use and ticketing may be different from a standard home game. If it is not, general admission should usually allow away fans to choose a preferred viewing area.
Neutral supporters who want seating should arrive early, especially for bigger games. Those looking for atmosphere may prefer the covered standing areas or a position closer to the more vocal home support, provided the match is not segregated.
Nethermoor Park operates standard ground rules: no pyrotechnics, no pitch incursions, no throwing objects, no discriminatory or abusive behaviour, and no access to player or official areas. Alcohol should only be consumed in permitted areas and supporters should follow stewarding instructions.
The key fixture-specific rule at Guiseley is clubhouse access. During segregated matches, away fans should not expect to use the clubhouse unless the club specifically states otherwise. Supporters should also use the correct turnstile where one is specified for visiting fans.
Nethermoor Park is a traditional older ground, so disabled supporters should contact Guiseley before travelling for current information on step-free access, wheelchair viewing, accessible toilets and parking. Some areas of the ground will be easier to access than others.
Away disabled supporters should check whether segregation is in force, because that may affect the most suitable entrance, viewing position and access to clubhouse facilities. Advance contact is recommended, especially for fixtures expected to attract larger crowds.
Regular public stadium tours are not normally offered at Nethermoor Park. It is a working non-league football ground, so supporters wanting to see the stadium should plan around a matchday or contact Guiseley directly for any special access request.
Kirkstall Abbey is a worthwhile extra stop around Guiseley if you are making more of the day than just the match. It is one of the more obvious local attractions or landmarks to build into an away day.
Check opening times before travelling, particularly for winter midweek fixtures or attractions with seasonal hours.
