Christchurch F.C. - Ground

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:

    As the farmer casts into the ground the finest ears of his grain, the time will come when we too shall hold nothing back, but shall eagerly convert more than we now possess into means and powers, when we shall be willing to sow the sun and the moon for seeds.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
