Ground
Histon play at Bridge Road, also known as the Glassworld Stadium for sponsorship purposes. Due to the club's fast rise up the non-league system, the stadium has had to undergo major transformations, the latest being a new 500-seat stand that contains headquarters for the Cambridgeshire FA. It was finished in late 2007, bringing the ground's seated capacity to over 1,000. Plans are also in place to build a new away stand due to the Football League regulations that require a 1,500 stand. The ground was graded as an A grade Non-League stadium on 7 January 2008 when delegates from The Football League passed it fit to play Football League Two football, should Histon become eligible through promotion. Further ground improvements were started in early March 2008. Covered terracing for the whole of the 'Rec End' and a seated stand running the length of the pitch opposite the Main Stand are also now complete.

Who haunts the tempest and laughs at the archer;
Exiled on the ground in the midst of jeers,
His giant’s wings prevent him from walking.”
