On Saturday 6 December 2025, Chelmsford City will host Weston-super-Mare at the The Dunmow Group Community Stadium in a Second Round tie of the FA Cup.
Historically, this fixture has produced a balanced record. Across 17 recent matches, Chelmsford have 6 wins, Weston-super-Mare also 6, with 5 draws. Goals have been tight: 22 for Chelmsford, 19 for Weston-super-Mare.
Recent encounters suggest low-scoring, cautious affairs — in August 2025 the two sides played out a 0–0 draw.
Form coming in: Weston-super-Mare appear to have momentum, with several good recent results. In contrast, Chelmsford’s form has been more mixed in recent National League South matches.
The match likely will be tight and tactical. Given the low-scoring trend between the two sides, goals may be at a premium — but that also increases the value of any breakthrough, especially in a knockout fixture like the FA Cup. Weston-super-Mare will be buoyed by recent form and may look to frustrate the home side with disciplined defending and counter-attacks. Chelmsford, playing at home, will aim to press and control possession — they’ll likely feel the pressure to advance, but must avoid being caught on the break.
In short: this promises to be a cagey, competitive FA Cup tie. If either side takes an early lead, expect both to dig in; expect a tight first half, with the potential for one moment to shift the balance.
In line with recommendations from the Safety Advisory Group, the club's main car park at Melbourne Community Stadium will be closed to fans on matchday. This measure is designed to enhance safety by mitigating risks associated with the simultaneous departure of large crowds and vehicles following the game.
Parking will be available at the nearby St John Payne Catholic School.

Supporters are encouraged to plan their journey in advance and arrive early to secure parking. Full matchday details, including ticket information and travel advice, are available on the club's official website.
