There is scarcely anything in goal post manufacture that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply.
Do not become their lawful prey.

Goalpost Reviews

Some of the most well known names in football including Gary Lineker, John Motson, Ray Stubbs, Lee Dixon, Barry Venison, Trevor Francis, Paul Merson, Graham Taylor, hard man Vinny Jones,David Seaman, Lee Westwood the golfer and Howard Wilkinson a past Technical Director of the Football Association to name but a few, chose our football goals above others for their children.  We do not pay rich football clubs and players for endorsements of our products as we feel word of mouth is better. We do supply to most  leading football clubs including Arsenal and Barcelona.     All these are genuine comments..... not one liners made up to improve google rankings....

Re; your recent post via HDYFL pertaining to ITSAGOAL, which I have been passed-on by our Club Secretary. Frankly I swear by their products and would be hard-pressed to purchase any other goals from elsewhere, either the PVC or Aluminum versions. In my own opinion, a no brainer - The items I have purchased for Henfield U8’s/U9’s whom I Coach are of excellent quality and better than anything else I could find on the market in terms of robustness : cost. I personally purchased ours as one-piece goals and just take the end triangles-off (as-opposed to buying a bag full of bits to set-up each Saturday or training session). Admittedly I have an Estate car and they hang out of the back; but the benefits of only taking literally less than one minute to erect by this option are untold on a cold muddy morning!  Your U9’s have seen/are familiar with our goals, as we took them over to our 3G facility only recently to play our match whilst the poor weather was hampering grass fixtures, and you are always welcome to pop down the A24 to have a closer look or give me a call on the numbers below    Second good reason for purchasing Itsagoal – An entirely UK small family Company operating out of a sports ground under the shadows of Sheffield Steel works, and their MD John is mad-fanatical on kids football and likewise his products. I visited John at his factory whilst working in the area as part of our own market research I’m not in any way affiliated to Itsagoal; but if you should give John a call (which I would recommend, he is very helpful and does not do the hard-sell thing), please mention Andy at Henfield U9’s of you speak, as we do keep in touch and he would appreciate knowing that someone recommends his products     Kind regards  Andy      (Henfield U9’s Coach)"  April 2013

 John,  I forgot to write and confirm that we received the endcaps for the goals several weeks back. I also sent in a testimonial of our delight with the goals and your fine customer service before during and after the sale. Our little lads came up big last night. We had only 11 able dress for the match (3 of my starting Midfielders were out). We notched a goal about 20 minutes in and then just played smart football the rest of the way, conserving our energy. We were able to withstand several sustained attacks and hang on for the 1-0 result. Our back four played their hearts outs. So happy for these kids.Thanks again for everything and kind regards   - Will Plazewski April 2013  USA

 I find your goals far superior to Samba goals and the shape is just fantastic. Lots of clubs have enquired by me about these goals as Samba Goals just don’t look the same and don’t feel of the same quality. The arrow shaped hooks certainly makes the goals standout from the rest as it looks like an aluminium goal from a distance. As a premium football coaching product we are very pleased to have such high quality goals at our ground,

Having been involved with junior football for the past 4 years, i have used equipment from all the main stream suppliers and manufacturers and i can say that the football goals we have bought from itsa goal are the best by far we have used, in terms of ease of use, quality and appearance, and on top of that their after sales service is second to none Colin Harrison Rossmere Rangers F.C.

Unlike the cheaper toy goal posts that friends bought their children (which have long since gone) your goal post looks as good as it did eight seasons ago. It is my lads favorite toy from the day he could kick a ball - it has certainly helped developed his skills and he now plays for a top level premier club academy. I would just like to take this opportunity to say a thank you as there is no doubt that YOUR football GOAL has helped him achieved his GOAL .It is so refreshing to find a company that provides exactly what they say unlike others who just say anything to try and make a sale.. There is no doubt you have the best range of football goal posts in the U.K.     p.s Thanks for the tip to wash the nets at 40 degrees in the washer.. they came up like new !!          John Hales  2005

R & T Tours purchased eight sets of aluminium portable goals in bags for small sided 9v9 games from Soccertackle this year.
 We used all the sets at our football tournaments all over the country and we found the goals to be absolutely perfect for our needs.Portable, light, easy to assemble and strong. We also use your full size adult portable aluminium goals and we would recommend your goals to anyone. Kind Regards,
  Mark Earnshaw (R & T Tours) July 2012

Hi John, I have just read an article on the new guidelines for goalposts and note that  some of your lighter aluminium goalposts do not now meet the current  BSI saftey criteria.This is ridiculous! 
As you know we purchased several goalposts from you over the last 5 years and to date we have not had a single serious accident or problem with your goals. We try to stop goalkeepers jumping up onto the crossbar but it is very difficult, especially when away team goalkeepers do it during a game. However, out of all the sets we have, not  one crossbar has even the slightest bend in it. We always get complimented on our goals and the fact that our club appears to have the best equipment in the area. 
Last year we did have an accident where a goalpost fell onto a child. This was because the children started playing in it while it was still being erected. I am pleased to say that although the child that got hit on the head he only had a slight bump that an ice pack quickly sorted out.
 I would also like to say that a few years ago we were sued by a dog walker. We play on a public park and his dog got its leg down a goalpost socket where the cap had been stolen by vandals. The dog broke its leg which resulted in hefty vets bills. Im glad to say that the dog recovered but we had a large claim on our insurance. After this incident we decided to switch to free standing goalposts and fill in all sockets on the park. This was quite an expense for us but we purchased our goalposts from its-a-goal and have not had any problems. Our goalposts have to be carried nearly 100 yards every Saturday and Sunday and a lightweight goal is essential for us. The its-a-goal posts are light enough for a few children to carry them out on their own supervised by an adult. 
If the standard is changed we would be faced with purchasing heavier goals in future which is going to affect our finances, as I assume they would be more expensive, but also would be completely unneccessary. The goalposts that its-a-goal supply are more than adequate to do the job. Regards,     Dennis Hickford  Woodbank Junior Football Club. July 2012

 I work in the Sport department of a University in Cambridge, and required good quality 5-a-side goals that can withstand impact, and can be easily stored. Previously I purchased a set of goals from Argos which ended up being thrown away after the first tournament as they just shattered. I would thoroughly recommend the uPVC goals supplied by this company, the quality and customer service is far superior than the larger retailers.

We were extremely impressed with the new Mini Soccer Goals in the first competitive outing, and we soon mastered from boot of car to erection in under 3 minutes each goal (and that was just myself and my 10 year old daughter assisting). The opposition were similarly impressed and I noticed that their Coaches were giving them an interested thorough inspection after the game (they currently use Samba in a bag goals) Now I know a bit more regarding what’s-what with the Itsagoal products and have seen how the Mini Soccer size can fit in my car without dismantling for the short distance to our home pitch from my house.  (again, that’s the beauty of the product, it is so flexible, it covers all the bases) I will not hesitate in buying more; the beauty being, that they are such a flexible product, lending towards being easily played around with to suit a particular user’s application. On the internet Peter Shilton was still promoting/endorsing inflatable Igoals (which was one of the things that gave us initial confidence in buying the product (which endured about four matches before the first of a great many embarrassing failures with both the goals themselves and the pumps) Thanks again for both sized sets of goals that we have recently bought – Very pleased with the purchase. Kind regards Andy Smith   Henfield under eights  FEB 2012

Whiston Wildcats under 11's team approached It's a goal for two 3/4 new goal posts and nets for our first season at 11 aside. The two John's were brilliant working within our rather tight budget. They delivered right on time under some very difficult constraints and our goals arrived bang on time to prepare for the season. These goal posts are absolutely fantastic, we have now had them in and out of our portakabin and in the ground more than 200 times and the simplicity, weight and safety are second to none. The aluminium means that they are so easy to carry and when they are up they look just the business. Thank you Jon Paul and John senoir for your fantastic support too, a truly customer friendly company and more importantly real value for moneyJames Pink  December 2011

 I would like to thank you for the prompt/efficient despatch following placement of order. As a previous customer its good to know that your service level remains at a high standard. Denise Clements  December 2011

The Mini Soccer Arena  looks very impressive. I know Sheffield is quite a distance away but once all the work has been completed and the site is neat and tidy again it would be good if John could come down to Allhallows again and see just how good the arena looks and what an asset it has become to our youth club.ITSA goal's part of the project has gone very well and it has been a pleasure to work with Melvyn and your team.I must say that the other youth club committee members and myself and are very happy with the end result.

Hi !   I just wanted to say thank you to Soccertackle for bending over backwards to get the goalpost to us for our son's birthday. It arrived at 8am on his birthday, just as he was opening his presents. My husband set it up easily and my son loves it. It is sturdy and looks great.

Kind regards Sarah May 20011

Hi John, A big thank you for contributing to a wonderful weekend. Missing the Royal Wedding to open up the shop was a special touch that I am sure epitomizes your company's personal caring touch - one that I sensed from the website. As for the football goals - sturdy, well designed and look like the real thing. The grass is going to suffer this summer! I will endeavor to photograph our inferior posts at school. I shall also attempt to direct people in your direction when purchasing replacement goal-posts. Archie refers to you as "the man we met who knows Neil Warnock"!    Thanks again, Chris Brook  May 2011

  Fantastic! I bought this for my son to help him get into football but didn't want some cheap rubbish I would throw away in 6 months. These are very good quality and will last a long time. I have already started showing them off to other dads,(15 mins to put up), who all want to know where I got them from. As for my son, he now asks me if we can play football, not the other way round. Well worth the extra money. Mr C.B.Eagan April 2011

Hi, I just wanted to say a big thanks for the 8 x 4 goal post. It really is a good quality product and going by the look and feel, I'm sure it is UK produced. I cannot fault it - arrived on time and box was pleasingly heavier than I expected. The goal has the feel of a club / school goal rather than home use and it all slots together perfectly. I will move it round my garden to save the grass and it can easily be used without fixing it to the ground. The goal is steady and can take a shot without falling over. My 8 y/o son thinks it's great (and I love it too). Don't hesitate, the product is fairly priced and will last as long as you want it to.     Thanks & regards   Mark. Stanbridge April 2011

 Four Years ago I  ordered the 8x4 Garden Goal.  The goal has been brilliant. The foxes have chewed the net up a bit but we've been very impressed with the overall quality of the goal and it has provided hours of fun in the garden.I was looking at the website seeing if I could get a new goal net when I noticed this  "Goal extension to enlarge to Multi Surface Mini SoccerGoal size" Increase The Size Of Your Existing Multisurface Garden Goal To A Multi Surface Mini Soccer Goal With This Extension Kit and I would now like to do this.  David Shepherd  April 2011 

Thanks it's a great football goal much better then the other 16x7 Samba upvc goalpost  I had before. Fast delivery too. T. Preistley April 2011 (ebay)

Arrived when they said -a good set of football goals better than Sambas  Kevin April 2011 (ebay)

Thank you, the goal post arrived swiftly and we are thrilled with it.     B Brandt  March 11  ( ebay )
 Hi John...We recently purchased a set of goal posts from your self a couple of weeks ago which I have to say are absolutely fantastic Julie Wath St James March 2011

Spectator Barrier has worked very well - a great product !   Neil Pudney Head of grounds & gardens - St Johns School Leatherhead March 2011

 The football goal arrived during Monday and we erected it tonight after work and my son is  delighted with it.  Richard Howlett March 2011

Hi John.  I know its been nearly a year since you delivered our football goals over the Christmas holiday, but i wanted to see how good the goalposts were before I emailed you. Well they are every bit as good as you said they would be and more. They look fantastic and are very easy to put up and take down. We purchased three sets one of which has the box nets and several clubs have commented on how good they look, I would definitely recommend them to any club. As for customer service, I don’t think many MD's would have taken the time to deliver them personally in the snow over the Christmas holidays.An Excellent company and product.  Kind regards       Gary S Curtis Chairman Hamble United F.C.  Nov 2010

Many thanks for the rugby posts…prompt service & now I have put them together they look great  Adrian Bishop February 2011

Hi John - The football goals  were a birthday present so only got erected on Wednesday.  he loves it - and my husband (who is a football coach) thinks its fantastic (and he's very hard to impress !) I did wash the net which came up well, but I haven't bothered with the posts as it looks fine as it is at the bottom of the garden. Will definitely recommend Itsa goal to our footballing friends
Many thanks
Natalie Jan 2011( This was an eight year old second hand goalpost used by MD's grandson that was sold on ebay)

Fantastic product many many thanks. they compliment our new astro pitch superbly thanks to all concerned especially Nigel who helped so much ..... again my thanks   Jim Colston    Buckswood School  Jan 2011

"by the way your website is great, football is a big part of my life, and my son's."  Robert Gardiner  JAN 2011

 Just received my sons football goal today. Delighted with the email contact, service and the product. Took me about 45 mins to figure out the instructions and build the frame, however very easy once you get the hang of things. Only one problem, the lad is itching to get out in the garden to give it a go but the weather is holding him up !  Many Thanks     Dennis Cooper Jan 2011

Just a quick e-mail to confirm that the item was delivered on the 7th as you promised and I would also like to say what an excellent product the goal posts are.  I will certainly recommend your product to others.(also, its nice to see the "Made in England" again.)             Kind regards    Paul   Dec 2010

Just had to let you know how thrilled our grandchildren were with the two football goals purchased from you. We are extremely happy with both your product quality and delivery performance especially having read so many negative reviews for other suppliers. With four grandsons ages  five , three, and twins at a year old we are sure that we did the right thing paying a little more, as we are sure that they will last for many, many years. On the birthday we had a great football match with the Big Boys (Dads) also joining the fun and everyone was impressed with the quality of the goalposts. The birthday boy now wants corner flags - so that will have to be another present sometime.    Kath& Dave Fillingham  October 2010

Your Goal, now over fifteen years old looks as good as it did the day it was delivered and has been used weekly - a remarkable recommendation for your product and workforce's craftsmanship.  Michael Gornall  August 2010

 I would just like to thank your staff for the way they treated myself and my colleague when we visited the workshop yesterday to "inspect" the aluminium folding goals and collect some spares for our existing plastic goals. Andrew and I were enormously impressed with the quality of the foldaway goals and were delighted to place an order for one pair. Once our parents get used to them, I am fairly sure we will be ordering another two pairs. We look forward to taking delivery of the goals as soon as possible.Regards  Rob York  F.C.Bluestar  Sept 2010

Thank you so much for your prompt and efficient service. Even though I did not order until late afternoon my order arrived the following day.   Christine Kidd   British Library Wetherby  July 2010

May I say that these goalposts, four years on, are still as good as they day we bought them,with the quality of them, outstanding. Many thanks   Andy Morris  July 2010 (U-15's Manager - Leigh Genesis)


Thanks for the Goal post !  It does look good set up in the garden and much more sturdy than then last two £19.99 ones that are now in landfill ! !    Simon Bradford  June 2010
