Further to our statement below, issued on Sunday 16 October, to note that Thames Valley Police have released details of investigation into offences at the game. See their website. As noted therein please contact them if you have any relevant information. Prior to Thames Valley Police releasing these details the club had made contact with them in respect of the allegations.

We lost to the better team in yesterday’s FA Cup tie. Bracknell Town deserved their win. We have enjoyed two years of success in the FA Cup, yesterday was not our day, it was Bracknell’s and we hope they get a great draw tomorrow.

We await official correspondence from our opponents and the FA to help us investigate allegations of racism. As a club we will not tolerate racism, it has no place in society and we apologise to Bracknell and Anthony Cheshire for any racist comments that were made, individuals should not be subjected to this.

Anyone identified as having made such comments will be banned by the club. Anyone who has any relevant evidence should please contact, in strictest confidence, info@banburyunitedfc.co.uk.
