Ground
Little Common play their home games at Little Common Recreation Ground, where they have been based since their formation. When the club first used the ground, the field had no facilities until 1974 when the club used two prefabricated buildings to house changing rooms and a bar.
The new sports pavilion was opened in 2002 after the football club joined up with the local council and cricket club and were awarded a £262,000 lottery grant from Sport England. The construction of the new pavilion alongside other minor works around the pitch has brought the ground up to the required standard for the team to be able to play in the Sussex County League.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“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)
