Dog & Duck Ground
Wellingborough, United Kingdom
The ground sits on London Road. The pitch survived the sale.
The main stand is the Peter Ebdon Stand. It is named after a snooker world champion who serves as club president, but the name applies to just one section, not the whole venue. There is no sponsored title for the stadium itself. The surface is natural grass, and modern floodlights cover the pitch for evening matches.
The club moved here for the 1901–02 season after playing at Bassett's Close, the site where they became the first club to use floodlights powered by generators. They joined the Southern League Division One at that time. The ground has hosted FA Cup fourth qualifying round matches in the early 1900s and later the Maunsell Cup Final in 2016. It also served as a temporary home for AFC Rushden & Diamonds for five years before they moved on.
The capacity is 2,500. The crowd record belongs to a match against Leicester Fosse in 1902. The club plays in the United Counties League and still runs FA Cup and FA Vase qualifying rounds from this address.
