Grounds
Rugby
Stockton Rugby Football Club moved to The Grangefield Ground in 2015. The lease included the use of the indoor facility (which includes four changing rooms and a multi-purpose sports hall), and (initially) three rugby union pitches behind
The Grangefield Academy school (which is The Grangefield Ground) whereas the clubhouse is located over the road on (community partner) Stockton Cricket Club's ground, where another 2 junior rugby union pitches are located. The ground's set-up is similar to the club's previous ground located in
Norton. The Academy shares the rugby pitches, which are used for
physical education purposes.
Two more existing rugby pitches and changing rooms, part of a five-acre site, are located behind the pitches, which Stockton leased in 2019, with plans in place to develop the site for Woman and Girls rugby. The site became available for use from 31 October, with the changing rooms being modified with Stockton's club colours and badge being painted into exterior walls, the pitches were marked and new posts were added.
