- Last season: P46 W10 D8 L28. GD -48. 38 points.

- With seven scored and six conceded in the league this season thus far, they have scored and conceded the least goals of any team.
- This theme runs throughout other statistics; in every side’s home games, no team has conceded fewer than Banbury (2) whilst with three goals, only bottom placed Hitchin (2) have scored less.
- In every side’s last five league matches, no team have scored and conceded fewer than Banbury (3 scored, 3 conceded).
- In the league, they have yet to score more than one in a game, and have only conceded more than one on one occasion (a 2-1 defeat at St Ives Town).
- They are winless in their last three league matches (Halesowen 0-1 H, Royston 1-0 A and, most recently, Stratford 1-1 A)
- The Halesowen defeat ended an unbeaten run at home in the league (Sudbury 1-1, Leiston 1-0, Stamford 1-0). The Stamford win was their most recent league success (7th September).
- As per their website, Banbury’s top scorer this season is AJ George, with four goals (all competitions).
- FA Cup: Second Qualifying Round (lost to Step Four Melksham Town via a replay. Got through one round beforehand)
- FA Trophy: Third Qualifying Round (lost to Step Three Plymouth Parkway. First game in the competition this season).
- It’s been a season of spells for Banbury; at one point, they had won four in a row in all competitions (without conceding). They head into their game versus Bromsgrove winless in six matches (D2 L4) conceding in them all.
