@thesameoldfew @BenMapp02 I think this is the first time for both of us to be honest. Depends how you view the steps at that time.

📰 Bridgwater United Women FC Confirm New Home

Bridgwater United Women FC have confirmed that their new home will be The Ethan Berry Pavillion, home of Middlezoy Rovers.

The agreement to use Middlezoy Rovers, will come into force for the 2026/27 season.

Following last week’s announcement that the club has concluded its time at Clevedon Town’s Hand Stadium, the move provides a renewed sense of stability and a strong foundation to build on after an impressive 2025/26 campaign, which saw the team finish third and narrowly miss out on promotion.

Speaking about the exciting new chapter, General Manager Trevor Jenkins said, “After a season of progress and momentum, it was vital for us to secure a home that aligns with our ambitions both on and off the pitch. Middlezoy Rovers offers us that opportunity. We are incredibly grateful for the support we received at Clevedon Town, which gave us stability at a crucial time, and we now look forward to building on that foundation as we take the next step in our journey.”

Commercial Director Bob Buckingham added, “This move is about more than just a ground, it’s about creating a home where our players, supporters and partners can continue to grow together. The move back to the Bridgwater area is vital. We are excited about what we can achieve now and are very grateful to Middlezoy Rovers for working with us in this way.”

Middlezoy Rovers Chairman, Craig Berry said: "We are delighted to welcome Bridgwater United Women FC to The Ethan Berry Pavilion. As a community‑driven club, supporting the growth of women’s football is incredibly important to us, and this partnership reflects our commitment to providing opportunities for the game to thrive at every level.

"While the footballing benefits are clear, this move also creates positive connections across our local area, bringing players, families, supporters, and partners together. Any promotional or commercial opportunities that follow are simply an added bonus. The heart of this agreement is about strengthening the women’s game and building a shared home that everyone can be proud of. We look forward to supporting the team and being part of their continued success."

Bridgwater United Women FC club captain Manfy Sharpe commented, "The facilities are fantastic. As players, we all want to play on a good quality pitch, have access to female friendly changing rooms and medical areas, and have a clubhouse that can offer a welcoming pre and post match environment. This new facility offers exactly that, and I am excited for the season ahead."

The move signals a continued commitment from Bridgwater United Women FC to develop a strong, sustainable future, with ambitions firmly set on pushing for promotion in the upcoming season.

The Ethan Berry Pavillion is just 10 minutes outside of Bridgwater, has a capacity of 2100 with covered spectator areas, both standing and seated. There is ample parking, with overflow areas too.

Further details regarding fixtures, matchday arrangements, season tickets and supporter information will be announced in due course.

@theterras Looking forward to “The Reset - part 2” in 12 months time 👍

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@FreeAgentsFC Weymouth U23s, not the seniors side.

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@NWsportsjourno £8k a month stadium costs is a huge concern

Sounds like expectation is the playoffs this season with “a 2-year plan” to have a squad good enough to win the division.

Saying “we shouldn’t be in this division” and “this will be Wembley for some teams” could come back to haunt us

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@theterras @NWsportsjourno 33 games, 26 starts.
7 goals(5 in league) and 6 assists.

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@NWsportsjourno Had they been promoted they would be in a higher division to @theterras without ever facing them in a first team league fixture despite the Rockies being formed in 1888.

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@CallumHallett6 The only club where he has a good scoring rate is with us though so he would be taking a risk again if he tried his luck elsewhere.

He’ll be 32 in September also.

We shall say. Difficult decision for him and may depend on what sort of contract we can offer.

@PortlandUnited @Critch12345 How good did it feel putting the southern league logo on your graphic?

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@loulangdown Probably something I said back in the days we were in the same league as Wrexham. Feels like a lifetime ago now! 🤣

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

I would reply properly but it looks like you blocked me at some point @loulangdown 🤣

My question related to Paulton not Weymouth. As for the latter I already know they don’t operate at that level any more.

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@puckleladies @SWWFN @swsportsnews @WFootballChat @bsoccerworld @SWRWFL_OFFICIAL What’s happening to the team? Is it folding? Merging? Or just the chairman leaving? Statement isn’t very clear…

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@moorsy11 Trouble is the other 21 teams will be looking for these types of players too…

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@moorsy11 It’s not embarrassing for Portland.

[Duncan Gardner @TerraStatman]

@PortlandUnited Massive congratulations! 👏

We will play you in the league for the first time since 1949!
