Nice little ground, modern seated viewing area with a very nice social club built in to it, had a club shop, got a pin badge but only digital programs, good food from the food trailer, but very expensive. This ground is very open to the weather, so if your visiting in winter make sure you wear warm clothing.

Large venue with a big main stand, Adequate cover and lots of room behind the goals. Decent sized car park. A special mention for the steak pie. By far the best pie I've had all season.

I usually enjoy a visit to Nantwich Town FC but unfortunately my last visit on Saturday November 26th was tinged with disappointment as the game had been called off due to a waterlogged pitch. I'll be back again for the next home game and fully expect it to be a good match. The facilities in the ground are mostly basic but very usable. There's always a good brew and at half time there's always hot food and cold beers available. At the end of the day it's a very good lower league ground. Well worth a visit. 😎👍

A well organised and friendly club, all the staff are so helpful and go above and beyond. I enjoy my visits here. Stadium is immaculate, refreshments areas are great and the pitch is fab too, which after all is the main focus. Great club and venue.

A non league football ground. A stand on one side with standing on the other three sides. The stand is a good quality stand with a bar, toilets etc. Comfortable seats with good leg room. A good place to watch a football match.

History (from Wikipedia)

Stadium[edit]

The club plays at the Optimum Pay Stadium at Kingsley Fields. The ground cost £4 million, and was opened in 2007 before the start of the 2007–08 season; previously the club had played at Jackson Avenue.

Bad weather delayed the opening of the ground, with Nantwich having to play the majority of their pre-season games away from home. The first match at the Weaver Stadium took place on 7 August 2007, a friendly against League One side Port Vale that ended 6–3 to the League side. Port Vale's Ross Davidson scored the first goal at the ground after three minutes; Glyn Blackhurst became the first Nantwich Town player to score. The ground was officially opened before Nantwich's match on 10 October 2007 by Sir Trevor Brooking. Moving to the new stadium coupled with success on the pitch helped increase Nantwich's attendances from an average of 118 in 2005–06 to averaging 664 in 2008–09.

Optimum Pay Group Main Stand[edit]
The Optimum Pay Group Main Stand is the main stand at the Weaver Stadium and is situated to the south of the pitch. It seats around 300 people. It also contains bar facilities and a snack bar.

Whitby Morrison Ice Cream Vans Stand[edit]
The Whitby Morrison Ice Cream Vans Stand is a low terrace situated to the north of the pitch at the Weaver Stadium. It can hold around 295 standing supporters. It is home to the more vocal of the Dabbers' support.

At present both ends of the ground are flat and undeveloped.
