Travel…
There is no on-site car parking available at the Cledara Abbey Stadium and supporters are advised to use alternative modes of transport or the Cambridge Matchday Return Park & Ride service.
This reminder comes following reports in recent weeks of a large number of supporters parking on Ditton Walk and surrounding streets, which has meant for obstructed access to residents and potentially emergency service vehicles. Parking on residential drives and grass verges is prohibited.
Fans should please note that engineering works will affect Greater Anglia services - rail replacement buses will be in operation between Cambridge North and Audley End. Check your journey before you travel using the Greater Anglia app or website.

Supporter Accessibility...
Supporters with additional needs should visit the new Accessibility Info point by the Newmarket Road End turnstiles for access to the ground and information on the services we have available for disabled supporters.
Cambridge United prides itself on being an inclusive football club and providing the best customer service for its disabled supporters. To contact our DSLO, please email dslo@cambridgeunited.com.

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.
