Banburynanza this Saturday

It's out first trip to fellow fan-owned club Banbury United this weekend and they're going the extra mile to make it a great afternoon - read on for more!

We are delighted to be visiting fan-owned club Banbury United for our next pre-season friendly on Saturday 31 July. and they’re creating an extra special matchday experience to make sure everyone can celebrate fan owned football.

On the day as well as the usual bar, kitchen and sales points around the ground being open and selling their usual fayre, there will be an outdoor FanPark to give everyone extra space to enjoy food and drink. This will only be accessible to ticket holders via the ground extending into the car park.

Entertainment

Local brewery Hook Norton Ales are very kindly supplying their trailer bar serving special beers, Hooky and Hooky Gold (rebranded Puritan Gold for the day) as well as Hooky Cider and Ironstone Lager. Foodwise they're offering delicious local Hog Roast rolls and artisan coffee will be available too.

There will be music to keep you entertained 

  • Pre-match - busking set from talented local musician Tristan Pate.
  • Post-match One Tone, Tony Bignold, belting out skankingly good tunes from 5:30pm.

Gates open at 12:30 on Saturday and you’re advised to book your match tickets in advance at https://banburyunitedfc.ktckts.com to get easy access to the ground.
