Woodlands Memorial Ground is a rugby stadium in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England. It is the home of Fylde Rugby Club and was the home of the Blackpool Panthers between 2006 and 2010.
The Northern Rail Nines group matches, quarter and semi finals were held at the ground in July 2009, with the finals taking place at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool.
An official capacity figure provided by the club in 1990 was that the Woodlands could hold a total of 7,500 spectators – 7,000 standing and 500 seated - with relatively little changed since then. Other estimates had the ground capacity being 9,000 but this seems high by modern safety standards.
