Has anyone heard of a team called Ashley United?
They appear here playing a professional ground. Can anyone identify the ground?
My google searches have struck a blank...

Probably not a great help but there is a village named Ashley here in Cheshire, not far from Knutsford. I suspect there may be other villages of the same name throughout the UK. I have no knowledge of whether they had a football team back in those days.
If anyone has a subscription to the British Newspaper Archive, a search of "Ashley United Football Club" or similar may reveal some information about them. |

Google says they are a team from South Africa. |

That's what I was thinking too but I couldn't find a suitable shot to compare. |

I too thought Maine Road so it’s great to have some others think the same.
Thanks to all concerned.
Still no clue as to who Ashley United were however? |

If it is Maine Road then it is not too far from the Ashley near Knutsford so that is a possibility.
As I said the British Newspaper Archive search is probably the best way forward. |
