Cambridge United is a fan-friendly club and welcomes all fellow football supporters who come to enjoy all we have to offer at The  Abbey stadium.
Visiting supporters are normally allocated the South Stand. This stand is all seats with a capacity of 1500. For clubs expecting to bring in excess of 1500 the South Habbin Terrace will be made available. This has a capacity of about 1000.
Visiting supporters who are travelling by road are advised to park in areas off Coldhams Lane.
There are a limited number of wheel chair spaces available for disabled supporters. Please contact the club in advance of the match to reserve your space.
Tea bars behind the South Stand have a variety of hot and cold food and drinks available.

Abbey Helpers
Look out for our Abbey Helpers volunteers wearing their distinctive purple “HERE TO HELP” tops. They are here to welcome, assist and help all spectators both inside and outside the stadium.

Cambridge United Supporters’ Club
The supporters’ club is located outside the ground but adjacent to it.  It is open to away supporters on match days by paying an entry fee of £1.50 on the door but for certain matches away supporters may not be allowed to use the facility. It is best to ring 01223 241771 prior to your visit to ensure they will be able to accommodate you. 

Matchday Parking
On-street parking is available close to the ground, but do arrive early as the later you try and park the further you will have to walk to the ground. You are advised to park south west of the stadium, for example off Coldhams Lane.

Why Not Stay Over in Cambridge?
Cambridge is an historic University City with good links to other parts of East Anglia and London. Why not make the match just part of a weekend or longer stay? Cambridge is a fantastic shopping location: there are many independent shops and the Grand Arcade has many designer names.  In addition to the world famous colleges and museums in the city, there is also the Imperial War Museum at Duxford Airfield and the historic towns of St Ives and Bury St Edmunds to explore.
For additional places to visit follow either of the links below which also give details of hotels in the City and nearby:

For the sporting fan, the world famous horseracing centre at Newmarket is only a few miles from the ground. There are races in the spring and during the late summer. If there is no racing on the weekend of your visit, you can still watch the horses out training on Newmarket Heath or visit the Horse Racing museum in Newmarket.

Cambridge Fans United hopes that this information will make your visit to The Abbey Stadium more enjoyable. You will find our white information kiosk outside the front of the ground on match days – please call in if you need any help.
