Football club apologies after Magic Mike-style event gets out of hand
Banbury United FC bills its The Spencer Clubhouse - located on the eastern side of the town, just a short drive from the Cotswolds - as a place where 'dreams come to life'. The space at the Southern Premier League side's TUGO Community Stadium hosts weddings, birthday parties and corporate events, ensuring visitors' nights are 'nothing short of extraordinary', according to the club's website.
But in an apparent slip-up of remarkable proportions, on Saturday it played host to an X-rated event which has sparked outrage amongst residents, who live just a short drive from the homes of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Beyonce. Lewd footage posted to social media of the UK Pleasure Boys' 'Wet & Wild' tour - which rolled into 'community-focused' Banbury on the weekend - have gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
The clips show male dancers donning cowboy hats dancing - and stripping - on stage before wading into the audience and appearing to perform sex acts on members of a raucous crowd. So wild is the footage that the club, which is known as the Puritans, were forced to apologise to 'everyone who attended the event', which it said 'went beyond what we find acceptable at our venue.
' The footage has, however, sparked a debate amongst Banbury locals on social media given the UK Pleasure Boys promised a night of 'steamy entertainment'. A male strip show at an Oxfordshire football club appeared to tip wildly over the edge on Saturday night The event took place at Banbury United's The Spencer Clubhouse - though the club has since been forced to apologise to everyone who attended One wrote: 'I went!
With the expectation of a full Monty style strip show with maybe a flash of some goods at the end, not a porn show!! 'It was Banbury Utd club house not a strip club and even they have separate private rooms!!
didn't offend me just absolutely ruined the night as it was a great laugh until it wasn't. ' Another wrote: 'If anyone who went was surprised or offended they really shouldn't have bought a ticket in the first place!' One more posted: 'It was an absolute laugh an were booking again next year when there back.
yes some part of it was like wooah but it clearly stated strippers the lads were absolutely fantastic. ' Another added: 'Everyone was over 18 so shouldn't be an issue.
If some didn't like it then they could have walked out! Everyone knows what they are going to see at these and are acting as if they don't know!' One person added: 'From what I'm hearing and seeing all over social media it sounds like a strip show turned into a Roman orgy!' While a final commenter posted: 'Oh dear Banbury United.
' According to their Instagram, the UK Pleasure Boys have been on tour for months - and they still have 14 dates remaining, starting with a show this week in Birmingham. Tickets cost £16.50 for the show, which lasts two hours and 45 minutes, though 'VIP front row' seats are available for £27.50.
