Ground
Erith Stadium is a council-run facility and thus has plentiful car parking, a well-maintained playing surface, and ample (albeit uncovered) seating. All the facilities however, are on one side of the pitch and the fans are separated from the action somewhat by an athletics track. The dugouts are mobile and have to be pushed into position on match days.
In February 2006 the ground hosted international football for the first time when it staged an under-21 ladies' international between England and the USA.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
“...In the past, as now, [Hollywood] was a stamping ground for tastelessness, violence, and hyperbole, but once upon a time it turned out a product which sweetened the flavor of life all over the world.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
