As a new feature to the Trust website for the forthcoming season, Anne Noble (our member’s newsletter editor) has agreed to link up with fellow Trusts around the Country and gain a local insight into visiting their ground.
In this first article, Anne links up with Brian Attmore from CFU (Cambridge Fans United) for anyone going to the Cambridge match next Monday 6th.
“Parking is mostly in the street around the ground.
Being a friendly, fans should have little trouble getting into the Supporters Club (£1 admission but spaces are limited) or into nearby pubs.
Unfortunately the Club is in the only ward in Cambridge with no pubs but there are some good ones further into the City Centre or near the railway station.
The Wrestlers on Newmarket Road less than half a mile from ground is excellent with good Thai food.
For the ultimate Cambridge Experience anyone with time on their hands is advised to go into the City, find the River Cam and have a go at punting, or take a chauffeur punt. This can be combined with walking through some of the Colleges which have superb gardens and architecture as well as being steeped in history……
For anyone wanting to visit Cambridge prior to the match there are good Park and Ride sites signposted off the A14 ( parking free £2-00 bus fare return) The buses do stop about 8-00pm so you would need to move the car before the match.
The Supporters Trust (CFU) has a caravan in the front car park where we would be delighted to chat to fans from visiting teams and share experiences etc.”
