Please note, due to the large number of requests, birthday announcements will no longer be read out on the PA system. All scoreboard requests must be submitted by 5pm on the Monday before a Tuesday game.

Matchday Programmes…

Matchday Programmes are now available for this fixture.

50/50 tickets...

50/50 tickets can be purchased for £1 from our new Programme and 50/50 Kiosks around the ground. A winner will be picked at half-time with the winning number declared across the stadium PA system.

Food and Drink…

Fans in the Main Stand can grab a pre-match drink from the Dion Dublin Bar, which is open to supporters due to a scaled-back hospitality offering.

Chicken or Vegetable Curry, Pie and Mash and pastries from Piglets Pantry have recently been added to the menu at food outlets around the ground.

Following supporter feedback, the Club has made a number of changes to its food and drinks offering, whilst all the usual favourites such as Gourmet Burgers, Hot Dogs and Nachos will still be available.

All food and drink outlets will open in conjunction with the turnstiles at 6pm and supporters should please be reminded that the Abbey Stadium is a cashless venue.

Please note, the Paul Wanless Bar at the top of the Main Stand is closed for this game.

Travel…

There is no on-site car parking available at the Abbey Stadium and supporters are advised that the Cambridge Matchday Park & Ride service is not be in operation for midweek games.

If driving to the ground, supporters are reminded not to park on the drives or grass verges of local residents. This reminder comes following reports in recent weeks of supporters parking at Cambridge Dialysis Centre on Ditton Road, which has meant that patients have been unable to attend treatment appointments. We kindly ask that this site is not used for matchday parking.

Please be considerate if parking on local streets and always follow local guidance and parking laws.

If you require disabled parking, please call the Club on 01223 566500.

Supporter Behaviour...

Cambridge United would like to remind its supporters of new tougher measures and stronger sanctions relating to anti-social and criminal behaviours at football grounds across the country.

The FA, Premier League and EFL have introduced a new set of actions, which will be implemented across all English football leagues this season and are backed by the Football Supporters’ Association.

The new measures target activity such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics and throwing objects - as well as drug use and discriminatory behaviour.

These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences. They have no place in football, or anywhere. Click here for more information.
