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:
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
