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:
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
