History
The club was established in 1911, playing their first games at Ash common. They played in Surrey football, first in the Surrey Intermediate League and continued to do so after the Second World war. They remained in the surrey league until 1971 when the club was forced to leave their home of Ash common, and dropped down to teh Aldershot League, as they had no ground to meet league requirements. The club then found its ccurrent home at Youngs Drive and were then able to get into the Surrey Senior League for teh start of the 1976-1977 season. When the Surrey senior league expanded to be come the Home counties League for the 1978-79 campaign, and then the Combined Counties Football League a season later, Ash United were founder members of both leagues.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
