I booked a pitch weeks in advance for 6pm. Since that booking temperatures are now predicted at 34 degrees which the government has said is unsafe to exercise in. When I contacted them to rearrange, I did not even request a refund, I just asked for them credit my account so I could re-book at time in which it was not dangerous to play. They outright refused and said their facilities were open to play despite the dangerous conditions.

Facilities remain open and playable
We explained you cancelling 48 hours impacts the income for the school and you transferring this money results in lost income

We have plenty of hydration stations and even offered to resell the slot which you didn't come back to us on.

Just because you didnt get your way in line with out policy has made you bitter.

We cant please everyone.

We wont be crediting your account and have now cancelled your slot as per your request

Such a sore customer - we didnt agree a price you didnt get the price you wanted and then threw a strop when it changed. Be truthful with what happened. You wanted 1 7aside for 7 hours then let us know you wanted 3 * 5asides and expected to a) get a discount and b_ be charged the 7aside.

False advertising and slimey business owner

False advertising, admin errors and rude staff. This company advertises pitches on their site that they dont have any authority over.

2 hours before our team were due to play, we were emailed very bluntly to say our pitch was cancelled due to an admin error mix-up. The staff were very rude and unprofessional. Stay clear of this company. The owner is a Dragons' Den reject and tax-avoidant, and has a cringey YouTube channel that calls himself the Real Boss Worldwide. This Company is a joke !

My goodness you really have done your research. We are so pleased to have another fan. Dragons den tax avoidance in public light and yet all companies are standing and have expanded. Its unforutnately the small minded populus like yourself that like to focus on the past and issues (which now are corrected) to bring solid entrepreneurs down. I assume you dont have your own business?
Now on to the actual matter at hand (without personal attacks) you had a booking 2 hours before and were cancelled, this is naturally unacceptable but could you provide more details on the date and time this happened and we are happy to compensate you with a free booking if this claim is genuine. We are not here to alienate any users no matter their dislike to our MD. Everyone is treated equally and respectfully so if this did not happen with you we will have to correct it

Unprofessional & treat customers with contempt

Hire a Pitch charge high fees for appalling service. They seem very happy to turn a blind eye to homophobic abuse and trespassers on their site, their staff are poorly trained and rude.

If you have any respect for your safety and the safety of those who attend your events, then you should avoid at all costs. If you are thinking about listing your venue on their platform, you should be aware of their disgraceful track record towards grassroots clubs, particularly those catering to Women and LGBT+ communities.

Thank you for your Trustpilot review.

With the greatest respect, we do not differentiate or discriminate against any individual or group. We work with over 200 venues across the UK, many of which host women’s teams, mixed teams, and LGBTQ+ leagues. In fact, one of the largest leagues we currently support — an LGBTQ+ league operated by Coats & Goalposts in Haggerston — has been given priority over a men’s league at that venue. For that reason, we would appreciate that the facts are accurately represented before conclusions are drawn publicly.

We fully acknowledge that more could potentially have been done on the day regarding the handling of the incident during your cup fixture, and we accept that the site security presence could have been better managed. However, we strongly disagree with the suggestion that the actions of site security were motivated by issues relating to the LGBTQ+ community.

Many of the comments and one-star reviews connected to this matter repeat similar claims, but we do not believe they reflect the experience of the vast majority of our customers, partners, and venue providers. Titans have booked with us regularly, and this is the first incident of this nature reported in approximately nine months of activity. If this were a recurring issue, we would of course take immediate action, but we are not aware of any repeated concerns.

Ultimately, the situation has been frustrating for everyone involved, and we regret that the experience led to disappointment. We remain committed to treating every customer equally, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or background, and we hope that, in time, your confidence in HireAPitch can be restored.

Don’t bother

Don’t bother. A match was interupted by some homophobic Intruders and the undertrained staff at rentapitch underperformed.

Rentapitch is currently having a go at the LGBTQI+ football org via social medas, claiming they’re causing up a fuss for PR purposes. And they continue to victimising themselves even though there were two football teams and a handful of us supporters present as eyewitnesses.

MET police has been contacted.

Big avoid!

Not LGBTQ+ Inclusive

I'm deeply disappointed by my experience with 'Hire a Pitch'. As part of an LGBTQ+ football network, we hired a pitch, but unauthorised individuals gathered on the sidelines, hurling abuse, spitting at officials, and using homophobic slurs. The match was cut short, and Hire a Pitch staff failed to protect those who had paid for the pitch. Despite filing a police report, Hire a Pitch were very dismissive. We have been treated appallingly and they MUST DO BETTER to protect LGBTQ+ players!

Your really enjoying exaggerting the facts here


For clarity, the facts as we understand them are as follows:

It has been alleged that the Titans game was being interrupted by males on the sidelines.
It has also been alleged that these individuals were the aggressors and used homophobic slurs. At present, these claims have not been substantiated with evidence.
Our staff member arrived after a scuffle had already begun and observed what appeared to be Titans participants acting aggressively, including physical contact involving a minor, which is a serious matter in itself.

Without access to CCTV footage — which we do not control — we are unable to conclusively determine exactly what occurred. As a result, the most responsible action available to us at the time was to apologise for the incident and acknowledge the concerns raised.

It is also important to note that the venue is a large site. Titans have direct access to our phone number, email address, and live chat support. None of these channels were used at the time of the incident. Had any immediate contact been made, the two additional members of staff at reception, alongside the staff member already present, would have responded immediately.

We are concerned that this matter is being framed primarily as an LGBTQ+ issue when, based on the information currently available, it appears to relate more broadly to disruptive behaviour and safety concerns involving young males attempting to interfere with a game. There is no evidence to suggest the disturbance occurred specifically because it was an LGBTQ+ fixture. We therefore strongly reject any attempt to misrepresent the situation for publicity purposes.

Hire a Pitch would also like to make absolutely clear that we do not tolerate or condone discrimination of any kind, including homophobia or discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all players, teams, and visitors using our facilities.

In fact, Titans have been valued customers of ours for many years, which makes the decision to escalate this matter to the press particularly disappointing.

We strongly reject any suggestion that Hire a Pitch is indifferent to the safety, inclusion, or wellbeing of LGBTQ+ players and teams. Equality, respect, and accessibility are values we take seriously, and we remain fully committed to ensuring all individuals feel welcome at our venues.

Repeated cancellations and deceptive behavior – They are failing women’s football.

Do not trust HireAPitch with your team's money or time. This is the second time they have cancelled on our women's team (Baes FC) at the last minute. This time, they gave us 90 minutes' notice for a session we booked in December. They admitted the slot we paid for hasn't actually been available for 8 years, yet they still took our payment.

When we pushed for a refund to cover our professional coach's fees, their "support" became even worse. They offered a compensatory session but then maliciously withdrew it because we wouldn't accept account credit instead of our cash back. Most shockingly, they sent us "proof of refund" that was for a completely different transaction and amount. My bank has confirmed no refund was ever processed.

We know for a fact we aren’t the only women’s team they do this to. They consistently treat grassroots teams with total disregard, wasting our time, our coaches' time, and our players' money. We have now initiated a formal bank chargeback to recover our £178. If you want a reliable pitch, book elsewhere.

Hi Natalie
Thanks for your comments
1. You chose to ignore us when we replied asking was this the refunded transaction. All you had to do was say thats not the one and we would have refunded. BUT YOU CHOSE to ignore us.
2. We accepted the bank dispute we could have easily made the process longer
3. If we didnt want women's teams to play with us we wouldn't have offered additional compensation. So once again your comments don't add up.

Finally and most importantly we have women's teams playing in

Whitechapel
Brixton
Acton
Bermondsey
Stratford

You keep making this a woman's vs hireapitch topic. Its never about that. Its clearly an admin fault and you werent the only customer cancelled. Spreading a false narrative.

I hope it makes you sleep better at night posting a 1 star.

Great customer service!

The team were incredibly helpful from start to finish, finding the right venue to suit our needs, replying promptly to queries in the lead up to the booking, assisting with catering and hosting us on the day in a flexible and professional manner.

It's either a fraudulent company or terrible customer service!

I was calling to ask a question about one of their pitches listed on their website and the exceptionally rude person who answered the phone hung up on me mid sentence, then ignored the call when i called back. when he eventually answered he told me they don't manage that pitch and hung up again. So either they're listing pitches on their site fraudulently that they don't actually manage, or they just run an exceptionally rude service. either way, I'd recommend using Schools Plus to find a pitch, and if you are a pitch owner, dump these clowns quickly!
