Ahead of this week’s home fixtures against Grimsby Town and Barrow, Cambridge United would like to remind supporters to help create a safe, welcoming and enjoyable matchday experience for everyone at the Cledara Abbey Stadium…
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 for what promises to be two exciting games, and thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
