Hurst Cross

Hurst Cross has been the home of Ashton United since 1879, and as such is one of the oldest continuously used football grounds in the world. The main supporters' entrances are via the turnstiles on Surrey Street (assuming no crowd segregation). The ground has two covered stands and is fully terraced on all four sides. It currently holds the FA 'C' Grading.

Stadium Facilities

A variety of hot and cold food & drink is available from the refreshments kiosk before the game and at half time. The social club serves a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks and is open to all visitors before, during and after games. It is also open on non-matchdays and hosts a variety of different events. Please contact the club for further details.

The club shop is also open on matchdays and sells a wide range of league and non-league programmes, replica shirts, scarves, pin badges and other club merchandise.

Sponsors' Lounge

Matchday sponsors can book access to the sponsors' lounge and enjoy the excellent quality corporate hospitality that it provides. Potential sponsors should contact the club for further details of corporate packages on offer, or visit the commercial section of the website.

Segregation

Segregation is very rarely enforced at this level. If segregation does become necessary away fans will usually be housed in the Lees Road End of the ground and enter via this turnstile. This is an uncovered terrace. Should segregation be advised visitors should first check the details with their own club, and then contact Ashton United for any further information.
