[edit] Stadium
The club plays at Rossett Park, which is located on College Road in Crosby. Marine have played at Rosset Park since 1904, when they relocated from its previous ground at Waterloo Park, Crosby. Its current capacity is 2,800, of which 400 are seated, but in 1949, Marine played host to Nigeria at Rosset Park, and the crowd on that day was over 4,000. Everton Ladies also play there.
In 2006 the ground was renamed "The Arriva Stadium" after a sponsorship deal with public transport company Arriva.
