Stadium
The club has led a largely nomadic existence, playing at seventeen home grounds during its history. When the club reformed in 1992 it began playing at the Hornchurch Stadium, before moving to Ford United's Rush Green ground in 1995. In April 1996 they moved to Collier Row's Sungate ground, and absorbed the club during the summer. In December 2001 they left Sungate and played at several different stadiums in order to complete the season. They returned to Rush Green in 2002 (as Ford United had left to groundshare with Barkingside). They remained there until 2008, when the moved to Aveley's Mill Field ground.
In 2009 it was announced that the club had been given permission to build a new stadium on the Westlands Playing Fields on London Road.
For the season 2012–13, Romford have agreed a two year ground share deal with Thurrock F.C. for Ship Lane.
