Woodspring Stadium

Woodspring Stadium is a football stadium in Weston-Super-Mare, England, and the home of Weston-super-Mare A.F.C.

The Woodspring Stadium is a new looking 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 and a small covered area behind one goal. The biggest stand is at North End of the stadium, which is an odd fair. It is generally a good sized covered terrace (with a capacity of nearly 2,000), but incorporating a small block of seating, which is situated directly behind the goal. The seating area of around 200 seats, is just four rows high, meaning there is terrace behind and to each side of it. I can only assume that the seats were put in place to allow the club to comply with league regulations for the number of seats a club must have at their home ground. As otherwise there doesn't seem to be a logical explanation as to why the seats were put there in the first place. On one side are two small covered seated areas, that sit astride the player’s tunnel on the half way line. Oddly the team dugouts are located on the opposite side of the ground on the open side, leading to a procession of players and officials at half and full time. The ground is completed with a set of four tall looking floodlights.
