Supermarine v Merthyr Preview

Supermarine vs Merthyr Preview:

We round of the opening month of 2023-24 on Bank Holiday Monday, with another big game against the Martyr’s, kick off 3pm. A challenging opening month comes to a close at the Webbswood Stadium on Monday afternoon, with an early “top vs bottom” clash – but one that Marine will very much relish.

With their usual strong supporter base and a record of five straight wins, we’ll be expecting nothing less than another tough battle, but one that the players will continue to focus on reaching.

Parking & Travel:

Whilst we have FREE car parking for over 300 cars in our car park at the Webbswood Stadium, it does get very busy on matchdays so why not travel by public transport and then save the issue off finding a parking space!

We encourage our spectators to use the Stagecoach Number 7 bus from the town centre bus station, with a route via Greenbridge Retail Park and The Crown Inn at Stratton. It’s a twenty-three-minute bus ride to the last bus stop in the South Marston Industrial Estate (Exel stop).

Just ask the bus driver to stop for you at the bus stop for the Supermarine Sports Complex, and then it’s just a few minutes’ walk from there to the ground. This makes the Webbswood Stadium more accessible to all and has greener credentials, please try it!
