What's The Ground Like?

A new but rather simple looking ground that was opened in 2004. Half the stadium (one side and one end) doesn't have any facilities for spectators as such, apart from a small hard standing area around the perimeter fence. The biggest stand is at one end where there is a good sized covered terrace. On one side are two small covered seated areas, that sit astride the player's tunnel on the half way line. The team dugouts are also located on this side. The ground is completed with a set of four tall looking floodlights.

Where to Drink?

There is a sizeable club house at the ground. Otherwise there doesn't appear to be any pubs in the immediate vicinity.

Where to Eat?

If driving to the ground using the directions below then you will pass a McDonalds outlet.

How to Get There by Car & Where to Park

Leave the M5 at Junction 21 and take the A370 towards Weston town centre. Continue across three roundabouts and at the 4th (where there is a McDonalds) turn left into Winterstoke Road. Go straight across the mini roundabout, over a railway bridge and you will see the ground on your right hand side. There is a fair sized car park at the stadium.

Nearest Train Station

Weston-Super-Mare station is situated around a mile and a half away from the ground. It is served by trains from Bristol Temple Meads.
