After having played at a number of different grounds, the team finally got their own home in 2011 when they moved into the newly-built Stoke Gifford Stadium. It was the first stadium in the UK to be developed specifically for a women's football team, and is built on South Gloucestershire and Stroud College's WISE campus.

Famous quotes containing the word stadium:

    “The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
    —Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
