 Cambridge United Football Club are seeking to recruit Accommodation Providers for youth team players in the local area as part of our host family provision...
Lodgings should provide good quality accommodation in a designated area providing a safe, family environment for young people aged 16-21 who may be moving away from home for the first time. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a young person’s journey. Accommodation location requires easy access to the Abbey Stadium and to Clare College Sportsground by bike or by public transport. Accommodation will generally be required from a Sunday evening until Saturday morning during the football season, with a break over Christmas and throughout June. If you believe you can provide such an environment for our younger footballers then please contact Glenn Quirke, the Safeguarding & Welfare Officer by email to glennq@cambridgeunited.com for further information and a potential visit to assess the suitability of the lodging area. Cambridge United Football Club is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all Accommodation Providers to share this commitment. Accommodating young people is subject to police Criminal Records Checks (CRC) via the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) and additional safeguarding training with the club. This will include vetting at the highest level. In addition, Accommodation Providers may need to demonstrate that the accommodation meets certain safety standards.

Photos by Simon King.  This afternoon we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Morecambe to the Abbey Stadium. We also welcome some of our former players including Hall of Famers Derrick Christie, Steve Fallon, Tom Finney and Malcolm Webster who will be joined by Keith Lockhart, Richard Key and Andy Hollis in the Signature Suite. Why not say hello to them after the match. All supporters from all of home stands are welcomed to use the facility after every match, so why not arrange to meet friends and family in there for a drink today or after future games.
When the club celebrated it centenary in 2012 one of the events to celebrate this occassion was to create a club museum. At the time there wasn’t any room to create a permanent location, so I set about setting up an online one called. It is still on line at www.100yearsofcoconuts.co.uk so have a look. During the following years with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund and a small but dedicated group of individuals the museum has grown in size and now has a permanent location in addition to the on-line site. If you have never seen or visited the museum it is situated inside the Supporters Club and well worth a visit. In addition to what is on shown there are on-line databases to maintain for example a complete list of matches since the club’s formation and a collection of programmes. It is hoped that one day coconuts will have a complete collection of Abbey United and Cambridge United programmes. Most of the programmes since 1970 are now in place, however there are still gaps in the collection before that date. Particularly rare are the Abbey United and early fifties programmes. If you are aware of any please contact the group via 100yearsofcoconuts@gmail.com One particular individual Andrew Bennett was a real inspiration to the group. We were very fortunate to have him involved in the project. Andrew sadly passed away, however, he left behind an incredible legacy with his books, databases and match day reports. It was through all his work that the Coconuts & Celery book series was produced. Without the research he carried out there would never have been a permanent written history of the club. There are now plans in place for the next edition to be released shortly. At the beginning of the article, we mentioned the Hall of Fame. The HOF recognises individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development, success and history of Cambridge United. These are not just players but also those who have worked in the background of the club helping to make difference. There are now 41 inductees and their details can be found on line at http://www.cuhalloffame.org.uk/index.php To ensure that 100yearsofcoconut museum continues to grow and maintain the level of information/artifacts it needs new blood to maintain and keep it alive. If you have a love of history either as a volunteer or a fellow supporter wanting to be involved contact the group via the email above. History needs to be kept and for it to continue into the future it needs the baton to be handed on from one generation to the next, otherwise the memories and store it will be lost forever  This afternoon we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Portsmouth to the Abbey Stadium. The match this afternoon is also raising awareness of International Women’s Day which takes place on the 8th March. The day brings about attention in the women's rights movement to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.
Cambridge United has been fortunate that throughout its history we have had female supporters who have driven the club forwards from its earliest days to the modern day. The club could never have achieved what it has without them. Nowadays, we have female representation on the Shadow Board through the Amber Belles, on the club board via Jenny Horsfield. Throughout the club women play a vital part in its day-to-day organisation. The Women’s football team now has its own board which feeds into the main club board and also comes under the management of Ben Strang as does the first team. Today, I would like to remember the work of Lil Harrison. Lil is someone whose name is no longer remembered or known by many supporters. However, without her drive and ambition our club would never be where it is today. She should not be forgotten. From the days before the Great War, when the club played the likes of the Sons of Temperance and the University Press Third XI, until her death in 1996, Lil Harrison’s support for Abbey United and Cambridge United was unsurpassed. During those years, Lil worked tirelessly and celebrated its raise from Cambridgeshire League to the Football League. From amateur football to professionalism. She was the backbone of the club. Her fundraising work and support was incredible. She furnished the clubhouse almost single-handedly, paying for a hundred tables and chairs out of husband Charlie’s bank account – without his knowledge – and then held raffles each week to pay it back. It is possible he never knew. Not that he would have minded. The couple had met when Charlie was on the Abbey United committee and they married in 1928. He was equally devoted to the U’s. Lil was the driving force behind the Ladies’ Committee that raised money for the Habbin and Corona stands, the floodlights and even players’ kits. Her Christmas raffles were extraordinary, legendary affairs. The only dream of Lil’s that didn’t come true was her vision of seeing United play in the top division. Her visits to the Abbey tailed off in the early 1990s, but her spirit is evoked every time someone sells a draw ticket or yells their support from the stands. We remember Harry Habbin with a plaque on the Habbin Stand. Perhaps we should honour Lil in the way same so she never forgotten.

This also provides a link to the form for booking coach spaces. https://www.arsenal.com/emirates-stadium/get-to-emirates-stadium We also have a separate page for matchday safety and security https://www.arsenal.com/emirates-stadium/matchday-safety-and-security We would recommend that supporters use the Transport for London twitter account @Tfl or website https://tfl.gov.uk/ for transport updates. If supporters are travelling by National Rail services we would recommend them to use the national rail enquires website www.nationalrail.co.uk before travelling. Supporters are strongly advised not to drive to Emirates Stadium. The ground is situated in a mainly residential area with an extensive Event Day Parking Scheme in operation. Only car owners with resident's permits will be allowed to park on-street in the designated areas and any cars parked illegally will be towed away. The designated ‘away fans’ pub the Drayton Arms which is situated directly opposite the away section is currently closed for refurbishment and therefore not available for this match. The Metropolitan police have advised that there is no provision for an ‘away fans’ pub in the vicinity of the ground currently and away fans are asked to drink away from the Islington area. The ’Away’ turnstiles will open at 5-30pm and we advise supporters to arrive as early as possible. Alcohol will be served in the away section at the start and as with every game we reserve the right to pull sales. If sales are pulled, bars will re-open for soft drinks and food only. Access The ‘away’ turnstiles are situated at the Southeast corner of the ground (entrances K and L). There are several ways to approach this part of the ground. If your supporters are travelling by coach and parking in Queensland Road they need to walk to the end of Queensland Road turn right and walk 50yards (approx.) and they will see a ramp on their right leading up to the podium level of the stadium, walk up the ramp and then keeping the stadium on their left they walk for about 150 yards and they will find the away entrances on their left. If arriving from Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line), on leaving the station turn left and walk down Holloway Road for approximately 10 minutes turn right into Hornsey Road, walk straight down and the Stadium is in front of you. If you then take the stairs to the right of the Armoury store up to podium level and again keeping the stadium on your left, you will reach entrances K and L in about 250 yards. Finally if you come into Arsenal Underground station on the Piccadilly line when you come out of the station turn right and follow the road as it turns to the left, you are now in Drayton Park, ignore the first steps you see on your right hand side and continue along Drayton Park for 5 minutes and on your right you will see the Danny Fiszman Bridge cross over and this leads you directly to the away entrances.  Disabled Access to the right hand side of entrance K (stewards will be in place) Wider view of Disabled Access Catering

This afternoon we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Oxford United to the Abbey Stadium. We also welcome all Cambridge United supporters coming to the match. The Audio For All team of volunteers has taken two big steps forward this season at Cambridge United thanks to new equipment and the creation of a proper base – the Accessibility Point behind the Newmarket Road end. The descriptive service is offered to anyone who may benefit – not just the visually impaired – while the Accessibility Point offers support services for anyone with additional needs, be they physical or sensory. The new audio equipment came via a donation from the club’s CUFCLottery https://www.cufclottery.co.uk/ , replacing kit which was donated second-hand when the service was launched in 2011. Fans using the service will hear the action de-scribed by a trained volunteer via a receiver and earpiece. Sensory packs are available for fans of any age who would benefit from one. These include noise-cancelling headphones, sensory balls, sunflower sticker to wear and a sheet of puzzles. Information on the stadium’s Picture Pathway App is also available. Audio sets and headphones must be returned to the Accessibility Point after use. All of the above is provided by volunteers with the backing of the club. Point of contact: Nick Parker (AFA co-ordinator) 07929 589925 nick.parker56@googlemail.com or visit the Supporter Accessibility page on the club’s website https://www.cambridgeunited.com/fans/accessibility/ We also need to congratulate the Cambridge United Youth side in securing their place in the FA Youth Cup Quarter-Final following the win against Sheffield Wednesday, I would like to wish them every success in the tie against Arsenal at the Emirates next week. At the time of writing there are 1500 supporters travelling to support the side. Thank you to everyone who is going to the game. Remember be Loud, Proud and United in your support. It is an exceptional turn out and reminds me of when we played against Arsenal at Highbury in the FA Cup Quarter Final. Many supporters travelled on the day to find out that the tickets had sold out for the match on their arrival and couldn’t get in.   This evening we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Cheltenham to the Abbey Stadium. Thank you to everyone who has travelled to the Abbey Stadium for the match.
One of the most positive and encouraging initiatives to commence in the past twelve months has been the creation of the Cambridge Aces. All clubs look at improving the match day atmosphere and this group is definitely ticking all the boxes at the moment. It is important we build on the enthusiasm and energy of younger supporters and allow them the opportunity. Please give them your support and encouragement. Below is your chance to get to know learn more about them. Hello, we are the Cambridge Aces. We set up the group last year whilst talking to the club about how to add more colour and atmosphere to the Abbey during matches, including crowd surfer flags for big games, such as the ones we had last year against Luton and recently against Ipswich, having flag bearers to wave the three flags we have at the front of the Newmarket Road End, aiming to reintroduce the flags on staffs we had during the Conference Days and organising displays before big games, such as “that” fixture coming up in April. We are coming up to the business end of the season where the boys need our support as much as possible to help them achieve another season in League One. Where we belong! The atmosphere and ambiance during the Ipswich game was electric and we need to be like that every game to ensure the team can get their confidence back. We are looking at raising money over the next few months to help fund a display that will hopefully incorporate the Main Stand as well as the NRE to welcome the team out for the first Cambridgeshire League derby since December 2001, and as a group we will be releasing more information in the coming months. We are still actively looking for anyone who would be interested in volunteering or getting involved with what we are trying to do at the Abbey so if you are wanting to be a part of this, or would like to give your opinion or share some ideas for flags with us, then please contact us through Twitter or Instagram (@cambridgeaces for both) or come speak to one of us on a matchday! You’ll normally find us around the NRE Fanzone before a game so please come say hi. We are incredibly excited and honoured to be doing this and look forward to helping turn the Abbey into a fortress again. Forever, United in Endeavour. Thank you for reading. Connor, Tom & Shamz  This afternoon we welcome the supporters, officials and playing staff of Ipswich Town to the Abbey Stadium for the second time this season. It is a match with many supporters of both clubs either knowing or living close to each other. Many will even be family members, so I hope it is a good-natured affair both on and off the pitch.
