The Rebels will be hunting for their third successive league win and their fifth successive win in all competitions at Plainmoor tonight. Torquay United are two points ahead of Worthing in the league table in 6th and could go within a point of top spot should they be victorious at home tonight.

The Ground

On one side is the Bristow’s Bench Stand (named after a former Director of the Club). Opened in 2012 this modern, covered, all-seated stand has a capacity of 1,750. The stand is raised above pitch level meaning that spectators have to climb a small staircase to enter it. Opposite is a newish, small covered terrace, called the Thatcher’s Popular Cider Terrace.

At one end is the Family Stand, which is a neat, attractive, covered all-seater stand that has a capacity of 1,200. Differing from other clubs, the Directors Box is situated in this stand, rather than being on one side of the pitch. The other end is a small covered terrace, built in the year 2000 to replace a former open terrace and is normally used to house away fans.

In one corner of the ground in-between the away terrace and Popular side, is a large video screen. The ground is completed by a set of four traditional-looking floodlight pylons.
