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:
“To people off alone, as we were, there is something stirring about finding evidences of human labour and care in the soil of an empty country. It comes to you as a sort of message, makes you feel differently about the ground you walk over every day.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“One need not be a great beau, a seductive catch, to do it effectively. Any man is better than none. To shrink from giving so much happiness at such small expense, to evade the business on the ground that it has hazards—this is the act of a puling and tacky fellow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
