Ashford Town sounds like it will be one of the smaller grounds we have visited in the Southern League, with a capacity of 2000 and a record attendance of just 750 for a friendly against Brentford before the 1998/99 season.

The club was only founded in 1964 and won promotion to the Ryman League in 1999/00 after dominating the Combined Counties League, which gave AFC Wimbledon their start as a non-league club.

The ground, lying next to the Esso West London Oil Terminal, has a small seated stand (100 seats) on the airport side (Heathrow) and some covered terracing. There is also terracing behind the Short Lane goal.

Ashford have recently received a £47,000 grant from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund for the reconstruction of the pitch, including a new drainage system, with the aim of having one of the best pitches in the league this season.
