Before joining the Football League, the club started its existence at The Meadows in Limekiln Lane, Longport – now Scott Lidgett Road. A basic ground, the club moved on in 1881. The club's second ground was Westport Meadows, where they played for three years. An area prone to flooding, today Westport Lake now lies where the ground once stood. In 1884, the club moved to its third ground, they stayed at Burslem Football and Athletic ground for just two years. Located close to Burslem railway station, the club took the area's name. The first match was a 6–0 win over Everton in a friendly, though the club would also host FA Cup matches for the first time at the ground. Proved to be inadequate, the club moved on to the Athletic Ground.
