Banbury United is a football club hailing from Banbury, Oxfordshire, and they compete in the Southern League Central Division, part of the seventh tier of English football. The Puritans, their distinctive nickname, play their home fixtures at the Spencer Stadium. The club was established in the early 1930s and has been a mainstay of Southern League football for decades. Their most celebrated era came in the 1970s and 80s when they won several league titles and made significant progress in the FA Trophy, establishing themselves as a force in non-league circles. The modern Banbury United side has been ambitious, achieving promotion to the National League North in recent years before returning to the Southern League. They are known for an attractive style of football and have a dedicated core of supporters who fill the Spencer Stadium with noise, especially for key local fixtures.
