“our message to you is simple – you are not welcome”
Banbury United are working to identify individuals who let off fireworks during last Tuesday’s FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round fixture again St Albans City.
The fireworks were aimed at the pitch.
Those involved have been told they will be identified and banned from all future home and away games.
The club has been reviewing CCTV footage and working closely with St Albans City Football Club and the Police. They hope to uncover who was responsible and ensure appropriate action is taken.
Banbury United’s Chairman, Wayne Farrell, said: “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.”
Mr Farrell thanked the club’s supporters for their outstanding backing and continued commitment to the club and said, together, they would ensure matches remained safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.
