Woodside Road (also known as the A2B Stadium) is a football stadium in Worthing, West Sussex, England. First opened in 1892, it is the home of Worthing F.C. and has a capacity of 4,000.HistoryA sports ground opened on the Woodside Road site as early as 1892 when the site was part of the parish of West Tarring, which at the time was not yet part of the borough of Worthing. Known as the Pavilion Road Sports Ground, it occupied a 13-acre site, with a Queen Anne style pavilion giving its name to Pavilion Road along the south of the site. Worthing FC moved to the ground in 1903. In 1937 the Sports Ground closed and it is the site's northern portion which developed into the existing stadium. The southern portion of the Sports Ground became tennis courts and then in 1948 became home to Worthing Pavilion Bowls Club. Floodlights were installed in 1977. At the end of 1984-85 Woodside Road's main stand burnt down. In 2008 the ground was renamed the A2B Stadium after naming rights were sold to a local taxi firm. The ground is still often known simply as Woodside Road.The ground was used as a groundshare with Horsham FC in 2008/09. Originally a deal was agreed for two years but the deal ended after just one year.The ground was home to Brighton & Hove Albion FC Reserves after the closure of the Goldstone Ground in 1997. This led to Brighton playing their opening friendly against Worthing at Woodside Road as a thank you for the use of the ground.
