History (from Wikipedia)
Ground[edit]
The club originally played at Limeworks Meadow, a pitch based in the Merstham Lime Works.[3] Players initially had to change in nearby hedges before being allowed to use the nearby Jollieffe Arms pub.[3] In the early 1910s the club temporarily relocated to the Weir ground.[3] They moved to Moatside in the early 1920s.[3] Changing rooms were built in 1960 and a 90-capacity stand opened in 1974.[3]
Floodlights were erected during the 1990–91 season and were inaugurated with a friendly match against Crystal Palace.[3] A record attendance of 1,587 was set on 9 November 2002 for a league match against AFC Wimbledon. This was broken in 2016 when 1,920 watched the club's FA Cup first round match against Oxford United.[6]
