Bob Lucas Stadium, Football stadium in Weymouth, United Kingdom
Bob Lucas Stadium is a football venue in Weymouth with multiple stands that accommodate around 6,600 spectators. The main stand, Marlboro Restaurant Stand, and Residential Estates & GMS Stand form the core of the facility.
The stadium opened on October 21, 1987, with a friendly match against Manchester United that Weymouth unexpectedly won 1-0. This memorable debut marked the start of a new chapter for the club.
The stadium's name honors Bob Lucas, the longtime club president and former goalkeeper whose decades of service shaped Weymouth FC's identity. Visitors experience a place that reflects the values of the local football community.
The stadium sits in an industrial area with parking available, though it is set apart from the town center. Plan your route in advance since the location requires deliberate transportation choices.
Before 1987, the site served a completely different purpose as a greyhound racing track and speedway stadium with events on Thursday and Saturday nights. This earlier sporting past shaped the location before it became a football home.
