The Rebels return to National League South action next Saturday as they travel to the Bob Lucas Stadium to take on Weymouth.
The Ground
The Bob Lucas Stadium has been the home of Weymouth FC since its opening in 1987 and has a capacity of 6,600 (900 seats).
On the west side is the Main Grandstand, which is a covered seated stand that runs for around half the length of the pitch and sits astride the halfway line. The seating area of the stand is raised well above the level of the pitch, meaning that you need to climb a small staircase to access it. In front of this stand are the team dugouts. Both ends are similar-sized covered terraces, whilst on the remaining side of the ground, there is a covered terrace, that runs for around half the length of the pitch. This area is called the South Terrace and is affectionately nicknamed the Babs Windsor stand by the Weymouth fans.
The rest of the ground mostly comprises portions of open terrace, to either side of the stands and in the corners, making the ground a good size in terms of capacity. The ground has a set of four tall great-looking traditional floodlights.
