Ground
Romsey Town play their home games at The Bypass Ground, South Front, Romsey, SO51 8GJ.
Romsey Town first played on fields which have since been built on at Alma Road but now play their home matches at the Bypass Ground and have done so since 1956 after they were successful in their application for a 99 year lease on the area of the land the ground is built on from nearby Broadlands.
The ground now has a stand on the far side of the pitch, a smaller stand on the near side as well as a fence which covers a large section of the near side. The ground also has recently re-built changing rooms, hospitality room, refreshments bar and a club house which includes a bar.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.”
—Miles Franklin (1879–1954)
“The politics of the family are the politics of a nation. Just as the authoritarian family is the authoritarian state in microcosm, the democratic family is the best training ground for life in a democracy.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“At the ground of all these noble races, the beast of prey, the splendid, blond beast, lustfully roving in search of spoils and victory, cannot be mistaken.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
