Previous Grounds
From a field at Lodmoor to the Bob Lucas Stadium: the places where generations of supporters have followed Weymouth Football Club.
Lodmoor and Westham
The club first played on a field at Lodmoor before moving to Goldcroft Road, Westham. Players changed at the Rock Hotel in Abbotsbury Road, and the club also used a second pitch at Bincleaves.
The Recreation Ground
Weymouth moved to the Athletic Ground in 1897. Known to generations as the Rec, it remained home for 99 years. Its record crowd was 12,512 for the FA Cup tie against Yeovil Town in December 1948.
The Wessex Stadium
The purpose-built stadium at Radipole Lane opened in 1987. Ron Greenwood performed the official opening before an exhibition match against Manchester United, which Weymouth won 1–0.
The Bob Lucas Stadium
The Wessex Stadium was renamed in honour of long-serving former goalkeeper, physio and club president Bob Lucas. It remains the home of Weymouth Football Club.
