Ground
The 750-capacity main stand at Hayden Road football ground was opened in 1922. The opening match was a friendly against Aston Villa.
After the merger, Hayden Road was taken over by Rushden Rangers of the Northampton Combination. Rangers merged with UCL club Higham Town in 2007 to form Rushden & Higham United, with the new club playing at Hayden Road.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“Bonnie Lee: Why doesn’t he jump?
Kidd Dabb: Why, why should he jump? He’s made of rubber, he is. He wants to hit the ground to see how high he can bounce.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
“All I’m telling you is that that little creature in there has as much right to live as you do. Don’t forget, you invaded his world. You sank a pipe six miles into the ground and when he climbed up you set dogs on him, shot him.”
—Richard Fielding, and Lee Sholem. Superman (George Reeves)
“When the ground was partially bare of snow, and a few warm days had dried its surface somewhat, it was pleasant to compare the first tender signs of the infant year just peeping forth with the stately beauty of the withered vegetation which had withstood the winter ... decent weeds, at least, which widowed Nature wears.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
