Ground
Up until 2008, the Thrashers played their home games at Harrow Way School in Andover. During the 2007 season, two matches (against the South Wales Warriors and Plymouth Admirals) were played at North Walls Park, the home of Winchester Rugby Club, and after the season was completed it was announced that Winchester would be their permanent home. The Club will have a new home ground for the 2012 season, Test Park Sports Ground in Southampton. The newly built ground is operated by Solent University and features a full size 3G pitch, endzone and sideline spectators areas, full size purpose built changing rooms and a large bar area.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“We used to think that revolutions are the cause of change. Actually it is the other way around: change prepares the ground for revolution.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The mode of clearing and planting is to fell the trees, and burn once what will burn, then cut them up into suitable lengths, roll into heaps, and burn again; then, with a hoe, plant potatoes where you can come at the ground between the stumps and charred logs; for a first crop the ashes suffice for manure, and no hoeing being necessary the first year. In the fall, cut, roll, and burn again, and so on, till the land is cleared; and soon it is ready for grain, and to be laid down.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
