Bath City

15:00
Twerton Park has been the home of Bath City since 1932 and has a physical capacity of 8,840, of which 1,006 are seats, making it the 10th largest football stadium currently in non-League football.
On one side are two seated covered stands. The oldest of these is the Main Stand. It has a raised covered seating area, which means that spectators have to climb a small set of stairs to enter it. It has a steeply angled roof which points sharply downwards, with windshields to each side and a number of supporting pillars across the front. Below is a small uncovered terrace area, in front of which are the team dugouts. Beside the Main Stand is a smaller more modern structure, which is all seated, covered and has a couple of supporting pillars.
On the other side off the ground, is a rather old but quaint-looking covered terrace that runs the full length of the pitch. At one end is large steep open terrace that is known as the Bristol End. There is a noticeable slope to the pitch that descends from this area down to the other end of the ground. The ground is completed by a set of four traditional floodlights in each corner of the stadium.

Travel
Address: Twerton Park, 105 High St, Twerton, Bath. BA2 1DB
By Road: Although this may not be the most direct route it does have the advantage of avoiding Bath City Centre, which is normally heavily congested:
Leave the M4 at Junction 19 and go onto the M32. At the end of the M32 head towards Bath (A4). On nearing Bath take the A36 Lower Bristol Road. After one mile turn right under a Railway Bridge (signposted Bath City FC) and into Twerton High Street. Take the 2nd left for the ground entrance. There is a car park at the ground which holds 150 cars, otherwise street parking.
By Rail: Oldfield Park Railway Station is the nearest station to Twerton Park, being located just under a mile away. It is served by trains from Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads. Bath Spa has a more regular service from London Paddington & Bristol Temple Meads and is located just under two miles away from the ground.
Ground Facilities & Away Pubs
If the weather is not that great, then it may be a better idea if you can to go for one of the 230 seats given to away supporters in the Family Stand, as at least this is covered, although there are a couple of supporting pillars to contend with that may impede your view, but at least you will be dry.
There is a social club at the ground which generally admits away fans, but may not do so for some of the higher profile games. Otherwise if you exit the Club car park and turn right along the parade of shops then you will reach the Old Crown pub. This small traditional pub, has a small beer garden, pool table and has real ale on offer from Moles Brewery. Handily located next to the pub is a fish & chip shop.
