The Optima Stadium has been the Seagulls’ home since its opening in 2004. Half the stadium (one side and one end) doesn’t have any facilities for spectators as such, apart from a small standing area around the perimeter fence and a small covered area behind one goal.

The biggest stand is at the North End of the stadium. It is a good-sized covered terrace (with a capacity of nearly 2,000) but incorporates 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 a terrace behind and to each side of it.

On one side are two small covered seated areas, that sit astride the player’s tunnel on the halfway line. The team dugouts are on the opposite side of the ground, on the open side. The ground is completed with a set of four tall-looking floodlights.

Travel & Parking

By Road: Leave 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.

Parking at The Optima Stadium is £2.00 per vehicle, payment by card only on arrival. There is a fair-sized car park at the stadium, with a limited amount of match day parking for Blue Badge holders – if a Blue Badge space is required we recommend as early an arrival as possible. Once the car park is full, supporters are asked to park responsibly in two nearby industrial estates, which are a 5- 10 minute walk from The Optima Stadium, supporters are asked not to park in the housing estate opposite the club.

By Rail: Weston-super-Mare Railway Station is situated around a mile and a half away from the stadium, which is a 25-30 minute walk away.

As you come out of the station entrance turn right and then follow the station approach road around to the left. At the bottom of this road you will reach a T-junction where you turn left. You will then reach another T-junction with the A370 dual carriageway, where you turn right. Continue along the A370 passing by two roundabouts and an Asda store on your left. At the third roundabout that you reach (with a McDonalds outlet on one side) take the third exit onto Winterstoke Road (signposted Weston Industrial Estate). The stadium is further down this road on the right.
