Ashfield Football Club are a Scottish football club from Possilpark in the North of Glasgow. Formed in 1886, they are based at Saracen Park, which they share with the Glasgow Tigers speedway team. They compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and wear black and white hooped strips (uniforms).
They used to be one of the top Junior clubs in the country but are now one of the smaller teams in their region. They suffered a setback in October, 2004 when there was a fire at Saracen Park and they lost a lot of records and strips.
The team are managed since the summer of 2015 by former Dumbarton and Stirling Albion player Robert Docherty.[1]
