Ground
Twerton Park became Bath City's ground in 1932; it is located in Twerton, a suburb of Bath. It currently has a ground capacity of 8,840 with a seating capacity of 1,006. A record attendance of 18,020 was recorded in 1960 versus Brighton & Hove Albion.
Between 1986 and 1996, Bath City shared Twerton Park with Bristol Rovers, a Football League club, and the ground hosted an epic Third Division title decider between Rovers and Bristol City, in 1990, which Rovers won 3–0. It has also hosted Team Bath, who were a full-time professional team playing in the Conference South until their resignation at the end of the 2008–09 season.
On 21 August 2008 Bath City's Chairman Geoff Todd stated that "the club held talks with Bath Rugby over a possible ground share at the Rec" meaning in the future, Bath City could move to the Recreation Ground.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“The future is just as much a condition of the present as is the past. “What shall be and must be is the ground of that which is.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.”
—John Wesley (1703–1791)
