Ground
Wimborne Town play their games at The Cuthbury, Cowgrove Road, Wimborne BH21 4EL.
Floodlights, the construction of a perimeter wall and new changing rooms were all constructed in 1981. The clubhouse extension was built in 2001 and was opened by local footballing legend Alan Ball.
One of the distinguishing features of the ground is a 30ft vertically inflated character affectionately called Mr. Magpie, which the phrase "The Maggies" is also the popular nickname of the club.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“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)
