Richmond Road Ground in Kingston upon Thames, London, was the traditional home of Kingstonian F.C. Football had been played there since the 1870s. The highest ever attendance for a game was 13,847^{[citation needed]}, but after the Taylor Report, the stadium had a much smaller capacity due to safety requirements. The football ground lasted until 1989 and was known as The King's Castle. Surrey AC had their training ground on Richmond Road by at least 1908.
