Ground
Wimborne Town play their games at The Cuthbury, Cowgrove Road, Wimborne BH21 4EL.
Floodlights, the construction of a perimeter wall and new changing rooms were all constructed in 1981. The clubhouse extension was built in 2001 and was opened by local footballing legend Alan Ball.
One of the distinguishing features of the ground is a 30ft vertically inflated character affectionately called Mr. Magpie, which the phrase "The Maggies" is also the popular nickname of the club.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“To say that authority, whether secular or religious, supplies no ground for morality is not to deny the obvious fact that it supplies a sanction.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden.”
—Bible: Hebrew Genesis 2:9-10.
