Witney To Play Home Games At Carterton

club Witney United will play the remainder of their home fixtures this season at Carterton FC's Kilkenny Lane ground.

The move comes after the landowners at their regular home ground – Marriotts Stadium – decided against issuing the parent charity of the club a lease.

Speaking about the situation, club chairman Dave Donovan said: “It came as an immense shock to be advised of the decision of the landowners after less than a week in my new role.

“I have spent the last few weeks exploring every avenue open to me to try and resolve the issue so that we could continue to play at Marriotts Stadium but, along with my committee, have had to accept defeat in my efforts.

“We will spend some time recovering from this blow by enjoying seeing a Witney Town team continue representing us – weather permitting!

“I fully intend working towards the re-establishment of a town football club in Witney and have already begun conversations to that end.”
