Ground
Mervue's home ground is Fahy's Field. However, it did not meet League of Ireland requirements until the 2011 season, resulting in senior home games being played at Terryland Park. This has left Mervue with little or no fan base, and attendances are estimated at being the lowest in the League of Ireland. In the 2010 off-season, Mervue upgraded Fahy's Field to League of Ireland standard, meaning that 2011 season games could be played in Fahy's Field.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“On every tree a bucket with a lid,
And on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow.
The sparks made no attempt to be the moon.
They were content to figure in the trees
As Leo, Orion, and the Pleiades.
And that was what the boughs were full of soon.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
