Following Saturday’s brilliant win against AFC Fylde we now look towards tonight and the visit of Boston United.
While Banbury currently sit top of the table after two wins, Boston have had poor form early on. Boston opened their season with a 5-3 home loss to Southport and in their second game of the season they lost 2-0 away at Gloucester, they will come into this game looking for their first win. Boston were incredibly busy during the summer making fifteen signings in an attempt to push for promotion to the National League, a goal they will look to get back on track on Tuesday night. One notable signing is Right Back Zak Mills who returns to Boston after six years in the Football League with Grimsby Town, Morecambe, Oldham Athletic, Port Vale and Walsall.
Banbury have had an absolute dream start to life in the Vanarama National League North. Currently sitting top of the pile and being one of only two teams in the NLN alongside Kings Lynn with a 100% record and one of only five in the whole of Step Two. This early in the season you never know what to expect and we know Whingy and the lads won’t underestimate Boston, we are sure it’ll be yet another thrilling encounter in front of a large and noisy crowd at the Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium.
We know supporters will get behind the team in a positive way but to confirm, in line, with the FA and National League, we are supporting strong measures across football to tackle antisocial and criminal behaviour within football grounds – including entering the pitch without permission and carrying or using smoke bombs or pyros. These are illegal, dangerous and have serious consequences. They have no place in our game. Anyone involved in these activities will be banned by their club and reported to the police.

With the reduction of size of the car park due to the Network Rail's temporary offices there is very limited spectator parking at the ground. Spectators also cannot park on Station Approach or on Tramway. Additional car parking is available in the Banbury Railway Station car park off Station Approach, follow directions of steward, where, thanks to the great support of Chiltern Railways, parking charges will not apply between 1800 hrs and 2245 hrs. Free parking also includes Banbury Station East Car Park the multi storey car park. Although slightly further from the ground you will be able to depart quicker from this car park after the game than from Station Approach .
