Quirky little ground. Every football fan visiting Taunton should pay a visit and support a proper local club trying very hard on and off the pitch. Great for the community but needs everyone's support. Grass roots football in the FA Cup. Well done on beating Didcot, good luck for the rest of the season. Andy(TCFC supporter)

10/4/23 Taunton Town 2-1 Slough Town in the Vanarama National League South. Adult £12 (very good at this level, not even discounted) Concession (Student £10), Programme £3, Badge £3.50. Very much enjoyed my visit to the ground but not the result. It was a very friendly and welcoming ground. On arrival there was plenty of food to choose from. You had hog roast, burgers and chips, sausage rolls and pasties but I chose a Mexican Chicken Chipotle which was good value and tasted fantastic for £5. There was also an outside bar which made it easier to get drinks. The ground has cover at both ends behind the goal, and has covered seats on the other sides. One unique feature is that to get past the seats on one side you actually walk out on the pitch in front of the advertising boards. The club shop is a decent size, as is the bar in the actual club. There are also some fabulous old turnstiles at the entrances to the ground. I enjoyed my visit very much, and hope to return next season. If you haven’t been I would highly recommend.

Nice non league grounds with views clear all angles of around the pitch…. Friendly club stewards on point and £5 parking plus program and air freshener plus £14 entry which higher end for Southern Football League prices.
Beef Burrito was nice football scran and at a £6 value for money.
Would have been four stars…. But you gifted us a point when we were 3 nil down so I’ll give you five stars!

Stadium[edit]
Taunton Town play their home games at Wordsworth Drive, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 2HG
When they were formed, Taunton Town played at a variety of grounds in the Taunton area, including Mountfields, French Weir, Victoria Park and Huish Old Boys. They then moved to Denman's Park, Haines Hill where they remained until 1953. During that season the club moved to Wordsworth Drive (capacity 2,500) in Taunton, where they have remained ever since. Initially they leased the ground from Taunton Borough Council, but in the 1970s the club purchased the ground from the council and installed floodlights.[2] The ground has covered stands on all four sides of the pitch.[4]
