Former Players & Abbey United Pioneers
We are delighted to welcome back dozens of former players to Saturday’s game, all invited by the club to be part of the occasion.
As part of the celebrations, we are also proud to host several descendants of players from Abbey United, following this season’s 'Pioneers' series in the United matchday programme. The series uncovered the stories of those who represented Abbey United during the 1913–14 season, with the majority of those players now identified for the first time.
Ahead of kick-off, we will welcome the following descendants onto the pitch for a special introduction and photograph:
- Dave Coulson, a descendant of Arthur Coulson
- David, Len and Chris Turner, representing the family of Abbey United legend Tom Bilton
- Steve and Emelia Butcher, descendants of Frank Butcher, who have travelled from Cork, Ireland to be at the game
- Chris Pollendine and five members of his family, descendants of Danny Pollendine
- Daniel Allgood and Scarlett Ambrose, representing the family of Abbey United’s Ernest Hancock
Our thanks go to Pat Morgan for his outstanding work on the 'Pioneers' series, and we extend a warm welcome to all former players joining us on Saturday.
If you have questions on a matchday, look for our Abbey Helpers wearing high-viz jackets - they'll be happy to assist you. You'll find them stationed throughout the stadium.

Travel…
There is no on-site parking at the Cledara Abbey Stadium and supporters are reminded to be considerate when parking on local streets and to always follow local guidance and parking regulations.
With attendances having increased in recent seasons, the demand on local parking has grown. This reminder follows reports in recent weeks of inconsiderate parking in surrounding areas, including vehicles blocking driveways and obstructing access for residents. Parking on residential driveways and grass verges is strictly prohibited.
We ask all fans to be mindful of local residents when travelling to matches and to consider alternative ways of getting to the Cledara Abbey Stadium:
If you plan to drive to the ground, supporters can use the free parking at Newmarket Road Park and Ride (CB5 8AA) for just £3.80. Please note, the Match Day Return Park & Ride ticket is only available to purchase on-bus from the driver, and can't be purchased in advance on the website or app.
More information on the Park & Ride can be found here.
Many fans walk or take a Voi e-bike or scooter from the park and ride but there is also a bus service every 10 minutes. Further details can be found by clicking here.

The Club supports initiatives aimed at protecting the game and ensuring football remains a safe environment for supporters, players, staff and officials alike.
- Pitch Incursions
Entering the pitch at any time is a criminal offence. Any supporter who does so could face both Club sanctions and police action, including a minimum three-year banning order.
Recent incidents across the game have led to individuals receiving football bans, criminal records and further consequences that can affect employment, education and travel opportunities.
- Pyrotechnics
Supporters are reminded that bringing or using pyrotechnics inside the stadium is strictly prohibited. This includes flares, smoke bombs and fireworks.
Anyone found in possession of, or using, such items risks serious sanctions and potential criminal prosecution, including a minimum three-year football banning order under the Sporting Events Act 1985.
Pyrotechnics pose significant safety risks, including burns, breathing difficulties and fire hazards, and can endanger fellow supporters, staff and players.
- Report It
If you witness any dangerous, discriminatory or abusive behaviour during either fixture, please report it to your nearest steward, log it on the Football Safety app or contact the Club's reporting number - 07456 056881 - so it can be dealt with quickly and appropriately.
All reports are treated seriously and handled in confidence, with details shared with the relevant authorities where necessary.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Cledara Abbey Stadium on Saturday and thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
