Ashford Town F.C. (Middlesex)

Encyclopedia : A : AS : ASH : Ashford Town F.C. (Middlesex)

Ashford Town F.C. are an English football club based in Ashford, Surrey, currently playing in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

To avoid confusion with another Ashford Town F.C. based in Ashford, Kent, they are virtually always referred to as Ashford Town (Middlesex). The sides have started to play each other most seasons in pre-season friendlies.

The town of Ashford has actually been administered as part of Surrey since 1965, but as with many other organisations in the traditional county of Middlesex, the club has retained the traditional suffix.

Ashford Town won promotion as runners-up in the Southern League Division One West for season 2005-06, and were transferred across the non-League pyramid to the Isthmian League Premier Division for the following season.

Previously, Ashford Town had enjoyed success in the Courage Combined Counties league, winning a total of five times. Some notable mentions: Gary Cambridge, Nathan Wharf, Darren Smith, Ian Miles, Paul Burgess, Dannie Bulman, Lee Holman and Paul German.

Dannie Bulman is currently the only Ashford player to sign for a Football League club - he made 230 appearances for Wycombe Wanderers and scored a bizarre goal on his debut against Bristol Rovers by charging down a clearance by the Rovers keeper, whereupon the ball cannoned off his backside and into the net.

Ashford Town play at Short Lane, a ground which has changed drastically over the past few years. The ground has a clubhouse and a tea room, as well as terraces and seating.
