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.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“When we dream about those who are long since forgotten or dead, it is a sign that we have undergone a radical transformation and that the ground on which we live has been completely dug up: then the dead rise up, and our antiquity becomes modernity.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“At the ground of all these noble races, the beast of prey, the splendid, blond beast, lustfully roving in search of spoils and victory, cannot be mistaken.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
