Cirencester Town Match Preview

David Shadbolt10 Mar 2017 - 08:07

United entertain Cirencester Town tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) 3.00pm. "Women at the Game" Initiative - all women admission just £1

This will be Cirencester’s second visit of the season to the Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium as we met them in the First Round of the Southern League Cup, that game ending in a 1-1 draw before we went through on penalties. Tomorrow will also remarkably be the fourth time that we have met this season because as well as the League game at the Corinium Stadium we went there for a Second Qualifying Round FA Cup game. Both those games in Gloucestershire ended in comfortable wins for ourselves.

Overall, it has been a very difficult season for Cirencester. They are currently one from bottom of the table albeit they are very much in touch with the teams above them and have everything to play for as they attempt to climb out of the bottom four places, which is very likely to make it a very difficult game tomorrow afternoon. And they went down only narrowly 2-1 away to play-off chasing Hitchin Town on Monday evening, a late penalty denying the Gloucestershire side what would have been a very useful point in their survival quest.

As for ourselves our late winner, albeit a fully deserved one, against St Ives Town two weeks ago was followed by a battling second half performance in the mud at Frome Town last Saturday to hold onto a half time lead to earn another three points.

Supporters may notice some professional looking guys with video cameras at tomorrow’s game. No, our videographer has not got some new equipment but a production company working on a reality TV programme on non-league football for broadcast on Sky will be doing some filming, as they will be doing at a number of other on-league grounds over coming weeks.

Tomorrow’s match is sponsored by Work Area Ltd. Banbury United are grateful for their support.

Away supporters are advised to use OX16 5AB for their Sat-Nav as the club’s official postcode may well take you elsewhere!

Admission Prices: Adults £10, Concessions (Over 60s and Full Time Students) £6, Under 16s £1. Banbury United are though supporting the "Women at the Game Initiative" , timed to mark International Women’s Day which fell on Wednesday 8 March, by offering all women admission for just £1 for this game

Programme: £2.

Kick-off 3.00pm

Supporters should note that the old Chiltern Railways Car Park on the Tramway Industrial Estate is still available for parking free of charge. This will provide a quick getaway after the game, avoiding the problems of getting out of Station Approach and help ease possible parking congestion at the ground. Entrance is via Swan Close Road and car park is at the bottom on the right, it is free to park there, thanks to Chiltern Railways. Post Code for the Chiltern Railways Car Park is OX16 5TB. Turn right out of car park, through the bollards and turn right down Station Approach – ground is 300 yards on the right.
