Ground
Histon play at Bridge Road, also known as the Glassworld Stadium for sponsorship purposes. Due to the club's fast rise up the non-league system, the stadium has had to undergo major transformations, the latest being a new 500-seat stand that contains headquarters for the Cambridgeshire FA. It was finished in late 2007, bringing the ground's seated capacity to over 1,000. Plans are also in place to build a new away stand due to the Football League regulations that require a 1,500 stand. The ground was graded as an A grade Non-League stadium on 7 January 2008 when delegates from The Football League passed it fit to play Football League Two football, should Histon become eligible through promotion. Further ground improvements were started in early March 2008. Covered terracing for the whole of the 'Rec End' and a seated stand running the length of the pitch opposite the Main Stand are also now complete.

“[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.”

“Bonnie Lee: Why doesn’t he jump?
Kidd Dabb: Why, why should he jump? He’s made of rubber, he is. He wants to hit the ground to see how high he can bounce.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
“One need not be a great beau, a seductive catch, to do it effectively. Any man is better than none. To shrink from giving so much happiness at such small expense, to evade the business on the ground that it has hazards—this is the act of a puling and tacky fellow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
