NBS REPORT FOR HADLEY STADIUM 
 
1 INTRODUCTION 
 
1.1 
This report has been produced by Sport England’s National Benchmarking Service 
for Sports and Leisure Centres (hereafter referred to as ‘NBS’) for Hadley Stadium, 
which is run by Sandwell Leisure Trust.  The report has been compiled by staff 
from the Sport Industry Research Centre (SIRC) at Sheffield Hallam University.   
 
1.2  
Before investigating the details of performance for Hadley Stadium in this report, 
please read the accompanying Guidance document to accompany facility reports.  
 
1.3 
The data in this report is based upon a survey of 267 users of the centre between the 
9th and 17th of June 2007, conducted by Leisure Net Solutions; and a financial 
return based on the year 1st April 2006 to 31st March 2007.  It should be noted that 
the user survey sample is below the recommended number of 350, which reduces 
the reliability of the results.  The user survey and financial return are supplemented 
by catchment area data provided by the University of Edinburgh.  A catchment area 
map is provided in section four of this report. 
 
1.4 
Hadley Stadium is classified as being a 'dry with outdoor' centre which means that 
it has an indoor sports hall which could accommodate at least 4 badminton courts 
as well as outdoor provision, but no swimming pool.  The actual floor space of the 
centre is 2,155m2 which means that it is benchmarked against comparable centres 
with a total floor space of 1,500m2 to less than 3,000m2 (that is medium sized 
centres) and it has 1,846m2 of usable space.  The catchment area has a relatively 
high proportion (21.68%) of residents from NS-SEC 6&7, representing the most 
disadvantaged people in society.  The centre is managed by a trust.  In brief the 
benchmarking 'families' used for Hadley Stadium are: 
 
•  Dry with outdoor site (benchmark family of  11 centres) 
•  20%+ of catchment population in NS-SEC 6&7 (benchmark family of 41 
centres) 
•  1,500 to <3000m2 floor space (benchmark family of 49 centres) 
•  Trust management (benchmark family of 35 centres)

THE USER SURVEY SAMPLE 
 
Figure 1: Hadley Stadium User Survey Characteristics 
 
 
Note:  The survey instrument groups respondents according to the new NS-SEC 
 
classification as used in the 2001 Census and now used as standard in all government surveys. 
 
2.1 
The broad nature of the 267 people who took part in the survey is shown in Figure 
1.  The primary purpose of the data in Figure 1 is for calculating Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs) for comparison against benchmarks, whilst a secondary purpose 
is to provide important stakeholders with an overview of the user survey sample.  
Venue managers should reflect on the data and qualify the extent to which they are 
truly representative of the customer base (191,956 visits in 2006/07).  It should be 
emphasised that any performance indicator scores dependent on the user survey 
findings are governed by the accuracy of the sampling in this survey especially 
given the low sample size. 
 
2.2 
A further test of representativeness is 'internal representativeness', that is the extent 
to which the respondents to the user survey truly reflect the balance of the 
programme and usage of the venue.  Some key indicators in this regard are shown 
in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Hadley Stadium User Survey Balance of Use 
 
 
 
2.3 
Using fitness equipment/machines was the most frequently stated main activity by 
survey respondents, followed by badminton.  These two activities accounted for 
nearly two-thirds (65%) of the main activities undertaken during the survey period.  
Given the distribution of activities undertaken, it is not surprising that the 
gym/fitness centre and the main hall were the most utilised areas of the facility.  It 
is important that managers are able to confirm that the distribution of the users is 
broadly in line with the centre's overall usage patterns especially given the low 
sample size.  The majority of activities undertaken were casual (67%) rather than 
instructor led or club usage.  Over half (51%) of the respondents had some form of 
leisure card which gave them reduced price admission to the centre.  Less than one 
in every three discounted admissions made via leisure cards were by people with 
some form of disadvantage. 
 
2.4 
Assuming that the surveys were conducted randomly and that the user profile 
accurately reflects the centre's customer base, we now consider the centre's 
performance against a series of Key Performance Indicators and family specific 
benchmarks.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE FOR HADLEY STADIUM 
 
3.1 
The centre's performance is reported first, for the key indicators, relative to CPA 
thresholds; and second, for all indicators, relative to the 2006 national benchmarks, 
the latest available.   
 
3.2 
At the time of reporting, the seven facility performance indicators which had been 
proposed for the CPA have now been withdrawn from the CPA.  Nevertheless, this 
report retains a structure of reporting against the previously proposed CPA 
thresholds for these seven indicators.  This is because they are a good indication of 
national government priorities for sports facilities, and can therefore still be 
considered as key indicators for such facilities.   
 
 
Performance for key indicators relative to proposed CPA thresholds 
 
 
 
 
3.3 
The centre's performs well relative to the proposed CPA thresholds, with three of 
the seven key indicator scores above their upper thresholds, two indicator scores 
between the thresholds and only one indicator score below the lower CPA threshold.  
For the seventh proposed CPA indicator, disabled under 60 years, the measurement 
of the indicator has changed and recommended CPA thresholds were not agreed.  
The CPA strengths of the centre include elements of both access and efficiency 
performance.

Performance relative to national benchmarks 
 
3.4 
The figures in this section position performance for each indicator relative to the 
four quartiles and three benchmarks identified in the general guidance which 
accompanies this report.  This positioning has been judged by the NBS analysts by 
examining 'average' performance across the four family comparisons.  These four 
comparisons for each indicator are in the detailed performance results in Section 5 
below.

3.5 
The performance of the centre for key indicators relative to the national 
benchmarks offers a more detailed relative positioning than the performance 
against the proposed CPA thresholds and in this case presents a weaker picture.  
The table has been amended to include 'disabled under 60' performance and to 
exclude 'visits per square metre'.  Because the definition of the previously proposed 
CPA indicator for visits per square metre was changed by the Audit Commission 
and DCMS, to exclude corridors and offices in the measurement of square metres, 
there are no benchmarks to compare with at present for this proposed CPA 
indicator.  In the 'other indicators' part of Section 5 of this report, and in the 
utilisation summary below, the visits per square metre indicator is measured in the 
way that NBS has always measured it (including corridors and offices in the square 
metres), and is compared with the 2006 benchmarks.  Furthermore, the centre had 
actual central establishment charges which were zero and in the financial return you 
estimated what they would have been if they had been charged - the CPA subsidy 
per visit calculation includes these estimated central establishment charges in the 
total costs.  In the 'other indicators' part of Section 5 of this report, the subsidy per 
visit indicator is measured by using actual costs, including zero central 
establishment charges for your centre. 
 
3.6 
One of the key indicator scores, relating to visits by social classes 6&7, is in the top 
quartile.  Three, however, including two access indicators and one efficiency 
indicator are at their 25% benchmark levels or in the bottom quartile.  The 
 
5

 
efficiency indicator - subsidy per visit - is at the 25% level despite scoring higher 
than the lower CPA threshold, which is relatively weak performance in relation to 
other similar facilities.  Two other key access related indicators are positioned at 
their third quartiles.

3.7 
When considering the wider set of access indicators, rather than just those in the 
proposed CPA key indicators, the picture is of reasonable access performance.  It is 
important to stress that not all the access groups identified are likely to be important 
to a social inclusion agenda.  Five of the groups which might be seen as important 
to social inclusion perform at the third quartile level or above (11-19 years, NS-
SEC 6&7, ethnic minorities, disadvantaged card holders, and the unemployed), 
while three which are relevant to social inclusion are below their 25% benchmark 
performance levels (60+ years, disabled under 60, and disabled 60+).  Females are 
in the bottom quartile - unusually for sports facilities, but not so unusual for dry 
facilities.  However, they comprise a rather small minority of visitors at this centre, 
22%.  The indicator for usage by 20-59 year olds is in the top quartile, but this 
group of users is not normally considered relevant to social inclusion because they 
are not necessarily disadvantaged. 
 
3.8 
Financial performance is modest relative to the benchmarks, with three of the four 
subsidy indicators below their median (50%) benchmarks.  All the subsidy scores 
in the 'other indicators' figures in Section 5 are calculated using the actual costs, 
rather than including any estimated central establishment costs.  The main factor 
which constrains this financial performance is low income, which is not 
compensated for by the strong operating cost performance, despite a reasonably 
high throughput for a centre of this size - see below.  Direct income per visit is very 
low, in its bottom quartile, while it is relevant to note that satisfaction levels with 
 
6

 
the value for money of activities and entrance charges are high, with an average 
customer score of 4.27 out of 5 for both attributes.  This suggests that activity 
prices are well within the bounds of acceptability by customers.  Secondary income 
per visit is also low, at the 25% level, and it is probably no coincidence that the 
satisfaction scores for quality and value for money of food and drink are the two 
lowest satisfaction scores.

The main throughput indicator, visits per square metre, is measured in the 'other 
indicators' figures in Section 5 by using the total floor space of the centre.  This 
indicator performs at the third quartile level, the simple product of a moderately 
high number of annual visits for a centre of this size.  The weekly number of people 
visiting also performs at the third quartile, suggesting a reasonable market 
penetration in the local catchment population.  The percentage of visits which are 
casual (67%) is below par by industry standards but whether or not this level of 
casual use is appropriate depends on the targeting and programming policies of the 
centre.

Satisfaction with and importance of attributes 
 
3.10 
The tables below identify five attributes with the largest gaps between importance 
and satisfaction, by mean scores and by ranks. These gaps signal the attributes with 
the most potential to represent problems, although it should be emphasised that no 
attribute has a satisfaction score of less than three, the neutral score (neither 
satisfied nor dissatisfied), so there are no absolute problems among the attributes 
scored in the user survey.  In fact, only one attribute has a satisfaction score less 
than four, suggesting that satisfaction levels across the range of attributes is 
relatively high.

3.11 
Four attributes feature in both of the tables above while two of the attributes in the 
second table are amongst the five most important to customers.  The appearance of 
cleanliness related attributes in the gap tables is not unusual for sports facilities.  
From the frequency distributions in the appendix, it is apparent that only about 3% 
of the respondents were dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the activity spaces and 
changing areas, which is very low by industry standards.  Meanwhile 7% and 9% of 
respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of equipment and the quality 
of lighting in the sports hall respectively.  Value for money attributes also feature in 
the gap tables, however the gaps for these attributes are very small by industry 
standards.  Moreover, value for money of food and drink was also quite low (15th) 
in the importance rankings by customers.  So any problems are not absolute, but 
relative - the satisfaction scores and ranks falling short of their corresponding 
importance scores and ranks - and small minorities of customers are dissatisfied.

According to the customers surveyed, the strengths of the centre involve staff and 
accessibility attributes as well as quality of parking facilities.  All three staff 
attributes are in the top five satisfaction rankings and also in the top ten for 
importance rankings - a desirable correlation.  Overall satisfaction with the visit 
achieves a mean score of 4.44 out of 5, which is one of the higher satisfaction 
scores compared with the individual attributes.

pool attributes if there is no pool at the centre.  Therefore such attributes do not appear in the subsequent tables of
