Our game against Staines is @ Stag Meadow. Is this the Windsor and Eton ground?

I dunno, i was confused by this too. Is it a rename ala Wycombe Wanderers or not in staines? Ive always known it as Wheatsheaf Lane.

indeed, this had me confused too. i don't think it's been renamed, tho i believe it's called Wheatsheaf Park (the road it's on is Wheatsheaf Lane...)

Ive had a bit of a check up on this and BoroBee is spot on that Stags Meadow is Windsor and Etons ground. The 'Staines Massive' Official website however says the game againsnt us is at their home Wheatsheaf Park. I therefore can only assume The GPG has made an error maybe?

Its sort of been renamed. It was known as Wheatsheaf Lane before the ever so disapointing revamp that cost a fortune, took an age and delivered, well, er pretty much the same ground as before bar one new stand.

It is off the B376 (Laleham Road) which can be reached from Gresham Road (the road the station is on).

The postcode for Wheatsheaf Lane is TW18 2PD, stick it in multi-map and Staines station is just north of there....bout 15 minute walk.

Not too sure about buses down the B376 but im sure there is some.

As a Bees fan living almost behind the ground, it is an easy 15 minute stroll from the station to Wheatsheaf Park.
Do not leave by the main station entrance but cross over the pedestrian bridge to the back entrance (! ooh err) on Gresham Road.
Walk right down Gresham Road about 300 yards till you meet the Laleham Road ( dry cleaners on the corner, the Thames opposite).
Turn left & keep walking straight down the Laleham Road for about 1/2mile until you see Wheatsheaf Lane on your right.
The Football/River Club is 30 yards down on the left.


Very nice ground, farm at one end, houses at the other with a good view of the pitch.
New main stand opened 2/3 years back with toilets & a bar up the stairs with Sky sports that put Griffin Park to shame.

Get there early if you want a seat. The main stand only holds around 250
The rest is all terracing. I've spent many an enjoyable evening watching the Swans & a good game attracts 600/700 with a decent atmosphere.
