Great little club WSM. Attendances are usually around 1k. I often go down there to catch a game as it's about 5 miles from where I live and a nice little ground. You'll find a mix of city and rovers fans go in between games or if they don't follow their clubs away. Also a few good memories from when I played football and had a few games at the Woodspring. Great little ground. Yeah I played there a few times in the past. I remember hearing someone say a few yrs ago that their chairman thought he could make Weston a football league club. Doesn’t he own a load of care homes locally ? Not sure Weston could ever become a football league club but it would certainly add a bit of spice having an extra club to despise as they go above us in the pyramid! 😂 With the right investment I could see it. Weren't they building a new stand there or at least putting in planning for it? WSM is a growing town with housing and infrastructure taking over the runway as well as Locking Parklands. There is certainly scope to get more people through the turnstiles and with a run into the conference they could make something of it. FGR got to the FL on the back of attendances of between 1200-2000 and are effectively a similar sized club. They just need a Dale Vince sort of person. |

A quick google says they had plans (2021) to double capacity to 5k . |

Best result for me would be Chesham or Horsham away with game played on Saturday as I am at Tottenham v Aston Villa on the Sunday so could do a weekender and get a new ground in as well. At a push I'd accept P'Boro Sports or Brackley (both subject to replays), also Curzon Ashton would make for a long trek but is one of the other tier 6 grounds i've not been to. #upforthecup

Bloody hell that’s awesome. It would be nice if we could actually pack out the Mem for that one, just for the occasion. Shame it’s not away

This means:
AFTER this weekend.
5 out of our next 6 fixtures are at HOME.
Only AWAY match is at Reading.
Time to show good form and solid support.

Mind you, we’ve lost a couple of times at home to lower league teams in the fa cup I think? |

Great tie for everyone. Not far for them to travel.
Could be a decent crowd if the dark side are away that weekend.
