Ground
Malmesbury Victoria play their home games at the Flying Monk Ground, Gloucester Road, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, SN16 9JS.
The Flying Monk Ground, on the bank of the Tetbury Avon in the northern outskirts of the town, takes its name from a demolished public house which in turn took its name from Eilmer of Malmesbury.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“Even great towers start at ground level.”
—Chinese proverb.
“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
