You might have noticed a football ground on your screen during the coverage of Royal Ascot on ITV and Sky Sports Racing this week, but who plays there?
Well, Football in Berkshire is delighted to be able to fill you in about Ascot United FC who’s magnificent modern home ground sits within the course of Ascot Racecourse.
The Yellas – no stranger to TV themselves having won the FA Vase at Wembley Stadium live on BT Sport in May – home is next to car parks 7 and 8 of the racecourse off the A330 – and is known by most of us now as ‘The Racecourse Ground’. It backs right up to the edge of the home straight with a great view of the main grandstand.
The club – who won the Combined Counties League Premier Division North, step 5 of the English Football Pyramid – underwent major redevelopment in 2019 with the installation of a 3G pitch and refurbishment of the grounds surrounds – nine years after an impressive rebuild of the club house facility on site.
They will play in the Isthmian League in 2023/24.
Ascot is one of the largest clubs in the country when it comes to members with over 750 registered players from age 5 up.
Take a look around the redeveloped ground in the gallery below. All the latest news, including how to contact the club is here. The club’s official website is here.
