The club plays its home matches at The Denplan City Ground, Hillier Way, Abbotts Barton, Winchester SO23 7SR.
The Denplan City Ground has a 180 seater stand with floodlights, permanent pitch boards, advertising boards, terraces, car parking and turnstiles for entering the ground. Within the ground there is a clubhouse and a refreshments kiosk selling hot and cold food and drinks. The ground has a total capacity of 4500. A small terraced area (called the 'Bus Shelter') behind one goal is the home of the 'Bus Shelter Band'. A new stand was built behind the other goal during the close season of 2007/08 by members of the bus shelter band. A new club shop was opened in 2006/07 next to the main seated stand selling club merchandise and other football related memorabilia.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“The thing that made me more and more afraid
Was that we’d ground it sharp and hadn’t known,
And now were only wasting precious blade.”

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“At the ground of all these noble races, the beast of prey, the splendid, blond beast, lustfully roving in search of spoils and victory, cannot be mistaken.”
