Platt Lane
EPP is expanding to Manchester at Platt Lane Sports Complex — Manchester Metropolitan University's flagship sports facility in Fallowfield, and the former training ground of Manchester City FC. Premier League-standard speed, agility and strength testing, now available in Manchester at Platt Lane Sports Complex.
The North West
Deserves Better
Manchester is home to some of the UK's most talented young athletes — from academy football players and grassroots clubs to track athletes and multi-sport performers. Despite this, access to professional-standard performance testing has been limited to those lucky enough to be inside a professional club.
EPP is changing that. We have brought the same Photon Sports timing gates, high-speed cameras and FA-approved coaching team that's delivered 300+ assessments in Birmingham to Platt Lane Sports Complex — Manchester Metropolitan University's premier sport facility in Fallowfield. Elite performance data for every athlete in the North West.

Sports Complex
Platt Lane Sports Complex is Manchester Metropolitan University's flagship athletic facility, located on Yew Tree Road in Fallowfield, Manchester M14 7UU.

The complex features top-quality 3G artificial pitches, grass pitches, a fully-equipped gym, sports science laboratory, and a multi-use sports hall — everything EPP needs to deliver the same standard of performance testing and coaching that Birmingham athletes receive at Alexander Stadium.

Can't Wait?
Birmingham Is Open.
Manchester athletes regularly travel to our Birmingham flagship at Alexander Stadium. It's 70 minutes by train — and worth every minute for access to Premier League-standard testing facilities.
Manchester Piccadilly to Birmingham
Direct trains from Manchester Piccadilly to Birmingham New Street run every 30 minutes. Journey time approximately 1h 20m. Perry Barr station (10 min from New Street) serves Alexander Stadium directly.
Alexander Stadium
World Athletics Category 1 certified track. Host venue of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The finest athletics performance venue in the UK outside London.
Worth the Journey
Most athletes come once every 6–8 weeks for a re-test. Your Initial Assessment programme and Everfit sessions run in Manchester in between. We structure the programme around your travel.
