City’s final away match of the 2024-25 season sees the side travel to the Optima Stadium, home of play-off chasers Weston-super-Mare.
The Seagulls are currently eighth in the National League South standings after they were defeated 2-0 by mid-table Chippenham Town on Good Friday.
With Maidstone thrashing Welling, sending the Wings down to Isthmian League also, the George Elokobi’s side are now in seventh.
If Weston lose tomorrow and Maidstone win, the Seagulls can’t make the play-offs. For City, a victory, regardless of any results elsewhere, would take the title race down to a dramatic final day.

Parking
There is parking available at the cost of £2 per vehicle, payable by card upon arrival.
However, with a big crowd expected for City’s visit the car park is expected to fill up quickly. When there is no more car parking available at the stadium, supporters are advised to park in the industrial estates nearby, which are a short walk from the ground.
Supporters are asked not to park in the housing estate opposite the stadium.
The Ground
Woodspring, known as the Optima Stadium, has been Weston-super-Mare’s home for 21 years.
The ground is unusual in the respect that the biggest stand is behind one goal. The North End can accommodate almost 2,000 fans and dwarfs the rest of the stadium. The stand is mainly terracing, with a block of seating directly behind the goal.
There is a small covered enclosure at the other end of the ground whilst on the sides, one is open and the other contains two covered seating areas, either side of the players’ tunnel.
This game is not segregated, nor is it all-ticket. However, with a large attendance expected, City fans are advised to purchase tickets in advance.
Food & Drink
Inside the ground, the club have three bars serving a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
There are also two food outlets serving hot food and drinks and snacks.
Weston advises that all concessionary outlets in the ground are card only.
Tickets
Weston offer tickets in advance until 11.00am on the day of the game.
Although advance tickets are £1 cheaper, there is also a 75p booking fee, meaning that supporters save a minimal amount by purchasing in advance. There is no advance saving for the 9 to 13 years old category.
