JASON Matthews is Weymouth's current manager. His predecessors have included: Frank O'Farrell, Dietmar Bruck, Trevor Senior, Graham Carr, Neil Webb, Steve Claridge, John Hollins and Bobby Gould.

HOME for Weymouth since 1987 has been the Bob Lucas Stadium. Its capacity is 6,600 – 900 of which are seated.

SATURDAY’S match kicks off at 3pm. Admission is £8 for adults, £5 for concessions, including disabled fans (carers free) and £1 for children.

WEYMOUTH’S nickname is the Terras, coined because of their original terracotta coloured kit.

THE distance from Home Park to the Bob Lucas Stadium is 98.7 miles and the journey by car should take two hours and two minutes. Weymouth train station is approximately two miles from the ground.

ARGYLE last played at Weymouth in July 2014, when the two sides drew 2-2 in front of a crowd of 647. Nathan Thomas equalised Weymouth's early opener from a penalty after Aaron Bentley was fouled but former Pilgrim Stewart Yetton put the home side ahead again before half-time. Argyle's second equaliser came from Kelvin Mellor in the second half. Of the 19 Pilgrims on duty that afternoon, only two –Luke McCormick and Ben Purrington – still play for the club.

CURRENT Pilgrim Gary Sawyer spent a short spell on loan to the Terras after signing professional forms for Argyle as a 17-year old in 2002.

WEYMOUTH'S squad includes four former Pilgrims: Jordan Copp, who also works for the Argyle Community Trust; Mark Moseley; Dan Smith; and Stewart Yetton. Yetton's older brother, Kevin, was player-manager of Argyle's opponents in their previous pre-season game, Elburton Villa.

THE Terras were formed in 1890 and won the Dorset Cup for the first three years of their existence.

WEYMOUTH reached the third round of the FA Cup in 1949 before losing 4-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford.  

TONY Agana, Steve Claridge, Jimmy Glass and Dean Holdsworth have all played for Weymouth.

I wanted to go to this a game, so I could visted a Portsmouth fan who lives in Pool.There were no takers from family to go but for the Grandson who has been banned from away games. (been a naughty boy)

ATD, is claimed to be dying by Dictators and Dickheads alike for years, were still here! Bumlicker Free, Sponsor Free, No Directors box experience offered here just Free Speech and Democracy! No Real Mates hand picked for Mods on this Island of Sanity in a sea of Avivas

I forgot they were playing else id of gone down over to someone else to report

Hearing that the Argyle squad are caught up in traffic that's stacked after a breakdown

kick-off for WeymouthFC v Argyle will be slightly delayed, 3.15pm

Argyle now on the pitch warming up. No flares so far

Argyle midfielder Connor Smith makes a very late lunge on Weymouth's Billy Lowes. No yellow card though as it's a friendly

Yellow for Smith now

Weymouth more than a match for Argyle. Stewart Yetton has had a shot saved by Vincent Dorel. It stays 0-0

All change for Argyle up front. Rooney now on the right, Jervis in the centre and Slew on the left. Little attacking threat so far.

All reports are from mix media sources

HT: Weymouth 0 Argyle 0. A pretty uninspiring first half performance from Argyle. No fluency to their play at all

Poor first half 0-0. Donaldson and Smith looking weak and have allowed Weymouth far too much possession in midfield. On the positive side Songo'o has looked good.

Good couple of shots from Slew - could have scored with both of them but the keeper saves. Rooney just wide

Anything above park level and the Poundland Pro's struggle, Its like the Peter Ried era when he had to get anyone available.!

1-0 Slew after keeper out of position lost the ball to Rooney. Much better second half

Donaldson booked
