Stadium
Newquay play their home games at Clevedon Road, Newquay, Cornwall, TR7 2BU.
In 1922 the Newquay Urban District Council, under pressure from the general public to provide a football field for the town, sought permission from the Ministry of Health to lease a piece of land (originally acquired for allotments) to the club and so from that date Mount Wise has been the home of Newquay Football Club.
There is a wooden seated stand (300 capacity) and a small covered area with some bench seats on the other side of the ground. Terracing covers the complete length of the ground opposite the Main Stand. Floodlights were installed and a spacious clubhouse built in 1988.

race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
