The club were already playing at the Memorial Sports Field before it became the town's sports centre in 1974. A record attendance of 1,000 was set for the official switch on of new floodlights, a match against Norwich City on 30 April 1985. The ground only has three sides as it also incorporates a cricket pitch. An large extension to the sports centre resulted in the club having the largest tea bar in non-League football.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“If you are looking down while you are walking it is better to walk up hill the ground is nearer.”

“I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat
As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
And witch the world with noble horsemanship.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
