Supporters and Rivalries
Ashington's average home attendance for the 2009–10 season was 228, one of the best in the Northern League. The long history of the club in the town and former Football League glories help maintain strong support.
A poll on the team's forum asked readers to identify the team's biggest rivals, and the voting was nearly evenly split between the Blyth Spartans and the Bedlington Terriers. The former is the more traditional rival, having played with Ashington a hundred years ago in the East Northumberland League, but have moved two steps above in the league system, while the latter is a local derby in the same league.
