The Valley Road stadium has a capacity of around 2,000. While Flixton played there, it was also used for home matches by Manchester City Ladies. Since Flixton folded, various amateur and Sunday League sides have played home games at Valley Road, including AFC Flixton, Unicorn Athletic, Broadheath Central, as well as North West Counties side Northwich Flixton Villa, before they moved to Manchester Regional Arena. The ground was purchased in January 2022 by Manchester-based property developer Atif Malik. He has earmarked part of the Valley Road stadium site for around 12 houses. The sale of these houses would pay for the creation of the wedding venue and sports facilities - as well as football, the sports centre would include facilities for cricket and other sports, Malik said.
