Didcot #146 - Do You Like Football No. 2
Didcot Town Football Club is a football club based in Didcot in Oxfordshire. The club is affiliated to the Berks & Bucks Football Association, and is currently members of Division One South of the Southern League. The club was founded in 1907.
Didcot Town F.C. have played at Loop Meadow at Ladygrove estate after the sale of their former Station Road ground in 1999. The ground has a main pitch and a training pitch, with the main pitch having a 150-seat main stand and a covered standing area. Their previous ground is now the site of a large car park for the town's recently built shopping centre.
Loop Meadow attracted its biggest crowd of 2,707 in 2015 when League Two side Exeter City visited in the FA Cup first round. The ground has been upgraded to meet FA Ground Specifications. Two 175 standing terraces have been erected to the Railway End and 100 seats have been added into the Main Stand.
About this GeoCache
We frequently visit the Loop Meadow to support our local football team, and our GeoKids have trained at their Youth Team too. We also visit the nearby leisure centre quite often. We have had many good memories here.
At GZ you will be standing outside of the fence of the Loop Meadow Stadium, just behind the goal post, and during Saturday match times you will hear loud cheers from inside the pitch.
Hope you also enjoy the beauty and magic of football in your own time, and we can't wait for the exciting World Cup this year.
Please also note:
Please bring your own pen, and open & close the cache lid carefully so the cache and log book can survive longer. You might need a tweezer to help retrieve the log paper.
Please also replace exactly as found due to obvious reason, and please be careful with the possible thorns, stinging nettles, and overhead tree branches! Long sleeves, trousers, and gloves are recommended.
You do not need to cross any fence or enter any private land.
Thank you and enjoy GeoCaching!
FTF: Congratulations to Daffodilbob for their FTF on 29 March 2026!
