On behalf of our Club I would like to address the incidents that occurred during last night’s Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round fixture against St Albans City. A small number of individuals chose to set off fireworks within the ground aimed towards the pitch. This behaviour is strictly prohibited and completely unacceptable.

These actions were carried out by group who do not represent our values or what we stand for as a community-owned Football Club. Their conduct undermines the hard work, passion, and positive support shown during our FA Cup run by the majority of our fans. So for the few that took it upon themselves to tarnish everything we stand for, our message to you is simple - you are not welcome. We will ensure that you are identified and subsequently excluded from attending any future matches, both home and away.

The use of pyros and fireworks poses serious safety risks to players, staff, and fellow supporters, and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

We are currently reviewing CCTV footage and working closely with St Albans City Football Club and the Police to identify those responsible to ensure that appropriate action will be taken.

We thank all our supporters for their outstanding backing and continued commitment to supporting the Club in the right way. Together, we will ensure that our matches remain safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.

If anyone has any information, footage or pictures of those involved please contact us - info@banburyunitedfc.co.uk
