Ground
Boro originally shared Harrow Meadow with a cricket club and the distance from the changing rooms to the original football pitch ultimately caused the ground to fail league grading requirements, however the club subsequently gained full use of the facilities and were able to move onto the area formerly occupied by the cricket pitch. At one time there was a small stand behind one goal, but this was replaced by a couple of very basic shelters painted in the club colours along the left hand touchline. As a result the ground had no seating and only a portion of the pitch perimeter had hard standing. The ground had a clubhouse and floodlights.
However, the club were forced to leave their home of over seventy years following the end of the 2008–09 season, entering into a groundshare with Holmesdale, fellow members of the Kent League and based in Bromley.
