We are hosting Chester FC at the Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium this coming Saturday August 19th, kick-off 3pm, for the second home game of our National League North season. The match is sponsored by our good friends at exhibition and events specialists, Modex.

This match follows our first win of the season on Tuesday night away at Gloucester City, where, following two losses from the first two matches, we leapt from bottom of the table to 18th. With almost a complete team rebuild ahead of the new season, new manager Mark Jones is still fine-tuning his team and fans will be noticing the uplift in performance with every match, regardless of the score. The boys will be on a high after Tuesday and looking for their first win at home.

As per previous communications, this match is all-ticket, with sales closing on Friday at 3pm.

All-ticket means every spectator wishing to enter the ground must arrive with a pre-purchased ticket to present at the gate (paper or QR code on device). People without a ticket will not be able to enter the ground. The only exceptions are spectators holding Banbury United season tickets or sponsors' passes, as well as those on the VIP gate list.

Safety message & ground regulations

We are expecting a strong contingent of away supporters and, as a result, we have increased our security provision and a larger than usual police presence is expected for this segregated fixture. This complements crowd segregation work carried out at the ground over the summer.

Volunteers and security on the gates may check the correct category of ticket has been purchased and a request for ID and proof of age may be requested.

Any supporter found in the wrong area of the ground will be removed from the ground.

Please read our ground regulations…

The following items are prohibited and may not be brought into the ground by spectators:- alcohol, knives, glasses or glass bottles, fireworks, smoke bombs or pyros, aerosol/gas canisters, any article likely to cause injury, any article prohibited under law, any article likely to cause annoyance to other spectators.

We wish everyone a great day. Banbury United is a community-owned, family-friendly club and we know the vast majority of home and away spectators approach their day out with this in mind.

Please ensure you leave plenty of time for parking and getting into the ground. There is very limited spectator parking at the ground. It is always available for those requiring accessible parking. Spectators also cannot park on Station Approach or on Tramway Road.

We advise spectators park in the nearby Banbury Railway Station car park off Station Approach, where, thanks to the great support of Chiltern Railways, parking charges do not apply between 1300 hrs and 1830 hrs on Saturdays.

Free parking also includes Banbury Station East Car Park the multi storey car park accessed via Merton Street, the other side of the railway. Although slightly further from the ground you will be able to depart quicker from this car park after the game than from Station Approach.
