HOW TO FIND US:

By Car:
From North and West: follow the A14 towards Cambridge, Newmarket and Felixstowe. After the A14 and M11 divides, stay on the A14 to the third exit (s/p Cambridge B1047). Turn right at the T-Junction at the end of the traffic lights (s/p Fen Ditton, Cambridge Airport). Follow this road through the village of Fen Ditton to the next T-Junction at a set of traffic lights. Turn right here (s/p Cambridge). Straight on at the roundabout after 100 yards (s/p ring road) into Newmarket Road. The ground is on the left after approximately ½ mile.

From South: leave the M11 at junction 11 (s/p Cambridge A1309, Harston A10). Turn right at the roundabout (s/p Cambridge A1309). Straight on, at three sets of traffic lights, for 1.5 miles then right at the next set of lights (s/p ring road) into Long Road. Straight on at the next lights (s/p ring road) into Queen Edith's Way. Follow 'ring road' signs at the next five roundabouts into Newmarket Road. The ground is on the left after approximately ½ mile.

From East: leave A14 at A1303 (s/p Cambridge A1303, Burwell B1102). Turn left at the roundabout (s/p Cambridge A1303). Continue straight on for 2.4 miles, over a roundabout, two sets of traffic lights then another roundabout. The ground is on the left after approximately ½ mile.

The Main Stand

Parking: There is limited street parking opposite the ground. For disabled parking, contact the club.

By Bus: A Citibus C3 bus stops within a few yards of the ground (Ditton Walk stop) and runs from the Railway Station and through the city centre every ten minutes during the day, and at longer intervals in the evenings. Check the Stagecoach website for more details and a Citi 3 timetable.

By Train: There are regular services to and from Cambridge Railway Station, where taxis are available or the Citibus C3 service runs from the station every ten minutes during the day and at longer intervals in the evenings. Check the Stagecoach website for more details and a Citi 3 timetable.

To walk from the railway station to the ground could take 25-30 minutes. Walk away from the station along Station Road and take the first right, (Tenison Road). Take the first right again, (Devonshire Road), follow this round to the left, up to the next junction. Turn right - again - onto Mill Road. Walk over the railway bridge, then take the third left, (Sedgewick Street). Follow this road, pass a set of traffic calming barriers, and shops (at this point you are in Cromwell Road) to a T-junction, (Coldham's Lane). Ahead of you should be a large field (Coldham's Common). Go into this field and follow a path under the railway bridge to the away turnstiles.

Food and Drink: There is a selection of food and drinks available at the tea bars inside the ground, including our award-winning bacon rolls. Next to the ground, the Supporters Club (owned and operated separately from the Football Club) is usually open to all supporters and serves a variety of hot and cold food and reasonably priced drinks. Entry to non-members is £1.
For chip fans, 'The Chippy' on Newmarket Road is a few minutes walk in the direction of the town centre (turning left from the front of the ground). Ten minutes walk in the other direction is a McDonalds.

The South Stand

AT THE GROUND:

Away supporters:

Cambridgeshire Constabulary provides important and useful information for coach operators and party organisers on their website, with directions and a map for coaches to the coach parking area and directions and a map for supporters on foot from the coach park to the ground. Click here to read/print this information in a new window.

For most games, away fans will be accommodated in the southern end of the Habbin Terrace. To get there from the Greyhound pub, simply follow the path across Coldham's Common and use the 'Habbin South' turnstiles.

Alternatively, if you are approaching the ground from the front along Newmarket Road, take the footpath just to the town side of the ground, along the back of the Habbin Stand to the 'Habbin South' turnstiles. Normal admission £14 (£10 concessions).

For selected games (see the Tickets News page for details about specific forthcoming matches), away fans may be accommodated in the all-seater South Stand (pictured below), which was built on the site of the old South Terrace during the 2001-2002 season.

The South Stand is adjacent to the Habbin Stand and the directions are the same as those above, but use the 'South Stand' turnstiles instead. Normal admission £17 (£11 concessions).

WATCH OUT FOR:
The bacon rolls served in the tea bars. They were voted 'Best in the League' by Colmans, and the Club's office staff, working a long shift due to an evening game, have been known to scoff them by the dozen!

Marvin the Moose - kicking a football whilst wearing oversized antlers and preposterously large boots is never easy at the best of times. How much more difficult then when a crowd of cynical football fans is watching?
