Each edition this season comes with an A3 pull out poster, with the reverse being a fixture poster for the first issue.
Neil Harris, Alex Tunbridge and Michael Morrison address supporters as usual, whilst new feature 'Pioneers' takes a fascinating look back at some of the players who played for Abbey United before the first world war. Chaplain's Catch Up returns after many years and plenty of your usual favourites are back for the new season.

Supporter Behaviour...
Cambridge United would like to remind its supporters that anti-social and criminal behaviours at football grounds across the country will result in serious sanctions.
Acts 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.
Report It...
Safety at the Cledara Abbey Stadium remains a key priority on a Matchday and should you witness anti-social or discriminatory behaviour, please speak to a steward, report it via the Club's anonymous reporting textline - 075224 73291 - or through our online Report an Incident page.
Enjoy the game!
