Home stadium
For the first fifty years of their existence, Aswick played their home matches all around the country. They initially used cricket grounds before later moving on to football clubs' stadiums. The original United Stadium was built in Hendley, Winchester, for the Aswickan Royal Exhibition.
This stadium was demolished during the period of 2002–2003, and work began to completely rebuild it. During this time, Aswick played at venues across the country, though by the time of the 2006 Astycup, this had largely settled down to having Rangers FC stadium as the primary venue, with Jamestown United's stadium used on occasions when the former was unavailable.
They returned to the new Hendley Stadium in March 2007. The stadium is now owned by the Football Association, via its subsidiary Hendley National Stadium Limited.
