the club initially played at the recreation ground. a grandstand was built in 1934, but it was destroyed by a bomb during world war ii and was not rebuilt. the ground was in a flood plain, resulting in the pitch being described as "frequently reduced to a quagmire". matches were sometimes moved to outney common or honeypot meadow on bardolph lane (now a police station). in 1953 they moved to their current ground at maltings meadow, a move which had first been suggested in 1947. the new ground was opened with a match against lowestoft club eastern coachworks on 27 august 1953 attended by 300.
