At the request of first team captain Yaw Ofosu and his fellow players, Banbury United FC will host an open meeting tomorrow night – 8.15pm Thursday December 5th at The Spencer Clubhouse.

Following the team’s training session at 7pm, which everyone is invited to watch, Yaw will address frustrations at the team’s disappointing results and answer supporters’ questions in an unfiltered and frank way, face-to-face. Members and non-members are invited.

As we appreciate this is late notice, the session will be run again at the same time next Tuesday December 10th. Yaw would like to make this a regular event, to encourage direct two-way conversations with supporters.

If you are unable to attend and would like to have a question asked on your behalf, please email info@banburyunitedfc.co.uk.

Wayne Farrell, Chairman of Banbury United Football Club, said: “This week, we communicated to our members how much we shared their disappointment at recent poor results and that we as a leadership team are active and committed to enacting solutions to turn around our trajectory. There have been some extremely challenging and frank conversations with our first team management and senior players in recent days.

“The proactive, passionate input from Yaw regarding the project of building our four-month-old team has been compelling. He would like Banbury United fans to know that the team hears their voices and fully recognises why current performances and the league position is of such concern. As players, they own the results and would like to explain the situation in their own words.

“As a fan-owned Club, we’d like to give our supporters the opportunity to hear from Yaw as well. I would like to urge as many of you as possible to come down and to put your questions to Yaw, Simon and the team, directly, face-to-face.”
