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:
“And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“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)
