Current expectations are that we will be able to return from the first week of September. Once the Sou

A Message from the New Chairman of Aylesbury United FC
Today, I (John Woodhouse) have the privilege of announcing that I have been asked to take on the role of Chairman of Aylesbury United FC — a sentence I never imagined I would write when I first stood on the terraces at Buckingham Road as a young supporter more than 35 years ago.

Graham Read Statement
On April 30th 2026, my chapter drew to a close, I could write a book, (but I’ll let Mike do that) so I’ll keep this brief. The journey from Buckingham Road to Chesham (via many other grounds) may have ended for me as Chairman, but I am left with very fond memories, trials, tribulations and heartaches. I may have failed in getting you back into the town, but I can assure you that I have covered every blade of grass that had been identified as a possible ground without success.
