Ground
Christchurch play their games at Hurn Bridge Sports Club, Avon Causeway, Hurn, Christchurch BH23 6DY.
The ground features a 200 seat cantilever stand with a press box, floodlights and electronic scoreboard.
The long-term lease for the entire complex now belongs to Christchurch Football Club Ltd, who acquired it from Poole Sports Charitable Trust, with the permission of the local council in April 2003, a totally separate operation from the playing side.
The ground is also the headquarters of Bournemouth FA and in 1994 Dorset County Cricket Club also built their indoor cricket school on the site. Christchurch Cricket Club also play at the ground in the Dorset County Cricket League.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“Male urination really is a kind of accomplishment, an arc of transcendance. A woman merely waters the ground she stands on.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“...In the past, as now, [Hollywood] was a stamping ground for tastelessness, violence, and hyperbole, but once upon a time it turned out a product which sweetened the flavor of life all over the world.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
