Ground
Rye United play their home games at The Salts, Fishmarket Road, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 7NU.
The clubs home ground is also used by the local cricket club. Because of the ground share with the cricket club, the club have to remove on the floodlights during the summer months and then erect it again after the cricket season is over. The club are also forced to erect a temporary fence on matchdays to discourage unpaid entry to the ground. In August 2010 the pavilion which housed the clubhouse and changing rooms was destroyed after a fire. The new clubhouse was completed in March 2012.
