Ahead of Saturday's sell-out home game against Sunderland, take a read of our Matchday Guide for all the off-the-pitch info you need to know...
- Sell Out

- Match Ball Sponsor...
The Match Ball sponsor for Saturday's game is in memory of Ian Clenahan. Ian was born in September 1949 in Sunderland and was a lifetime Sunderland fan. Memories of Roker Park, watching Porterfield’s winner in the 1973 FA cup final, were always topics of conversation in the pub.
Relocating to Cherry Hinton and then Bar Hill in the 90s, Ian adopted Cambridge United as his second team. His passion and love for football was a key defining attribute and whilst Cambridge did not emulate Sunderland’s success at Wembley in the 2007 or 2008 conference playoff finals, family and friends here today celebrating his life will recall the atmosphere and excitement in the Globe pub and at the ground.
As a proud Mackem, with a strong affection to Cambridge United, he would have been torn where to sit today but would have loved to see the two teams play and enjoyed a beer after the game.
