Ground
Rye United play their home games at The Salts, Fishmarket Road, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 7NU.
The clubs home ground is also used by the local cricket club. Because of the ground share with the cricket club, the club have to remove on the floodlights during the summer months and then erect it again after the cricket season is over. The club are also forced to erect a temporary fence on matchdays to discourage unpaid entry to the ground. In August 2010 the pavilion which housed the clubhouse and changing rooms was destroyed after a fire. The new clubhouse was completed in March 2012.

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)
“If you are looking down while you are walking it is better to walk up hill the ground is nearer.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Some people are like ants. Give them a warm day and a piece of ground and they start digging. There the similarity ends. Ants keep on digging. Most people don’t. They establish contact with the soil, absorb so much vernal vigor that they can’t stay in one place, and desert the fork or spade to see how the rhubarb is coming and whether the asparagus is yet in sight.”
—Hal Borland (1900–1978)
