Banbury United are back at home this Tuesday night, under the lights, playing against Scunthorpe United in the Vanarama National League North. Kick-off is at 7.45pm at the Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium. Mark Jones’ team will be looking to extend their winning run to three games, having had Saturday’s game v Chorley postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

We are expecting a larger than usual crowd and so supporters are urged to arrive in plenty of time to avoid queueing too long to get in. The quickest way to get through the turnstiles is to have bought a ticket online ahead of the game. Accordingly, our security and the police presence will be more prominent than usual, to ensure a smooth running of this exciting night of football.

Our matchday sponsor is The Terrace, our team kit partner and Club sponsor. The Terrace designs and produces football gifts and merchandise, with free personalisation and thousands of products across hundreds of clubs. Everyone is recommended to check out their Banbury United range in the Club shop at the ground.

On Tuesday, we also welcome our first matchball sponsor of the season: The Bell Inn at Shenington. The Bell is an 18th Century country pub located on the village green and known as a great place to eat and drink for locals and travellers alike.

Speaking to Puritans Radio ahead of the match, Mark Jones said “If you had said to me, six to seven years ago that Banbury and Scunthorpe would have been in the same league, people would have probably laughed. It wasn’t that long ago they were playing in the Championship. No disrespect to them, as they have had a tough few years, but it’s great for us, and it will be good to have a game under the lights on Tuesday night that we can look forward to.

“Despite the disruption to the match schedule, with two recent postponements at home, we are in a good place as a team and are very happy to be back at home after two great away wins against Boston and Southport,” he concluded.

Scunthorpe currently sit in 3rd place in the league table, with 28 points so far. Last time out they had a 1-1 draw vs Boston, with a goal from Connor Smith.
