Banbury United FC, Hitchin Town FC

Banbury United FC are back on these pages again after a ‘Football for a Fiver’ offer attracted 589 to the Spencer Stadium for the recent game against Winchester City. 

That was the Puritans highest home attendance for almost six years and the club have decided to repeat the offer (which is a halving of the usual adult admission price) for their next two home matches, against Shortwood United on March 19th and Tiverton Town on March 26th. 

Admission is £5 for all Adults with Under-16’s admitted free for both games with some fun activities planned for the Tiverton match on Easter Saturday. 

Saturday's 3-1 victory at Slimbridge kept Banbury on top of the Southern League Division One South & West, ahead of Cinderford Town albeit having played a number of games more.

And a welcome return to the blog for Hitchin Town as they plan another ‘Pay What You Want’ fixture when St Neots are the visitors to Top Field on April 23rd in the Southern League Premier where Hitchin currently occupy a play-off place.

The Canaries are hard at work raising funds for new floodlights at their fine old ground and, as at the recent ‘Pay What You Want’ match against Frome Town, any monies received over and above the club’s budgeted figure for the game will be put into the fund.

A short while ago, the fund stood at nearly £14,000 with the target being £30,000.
