Here is some general information and best route to Fratton Park on Saturday provided by Portsmuth

The game is sold out and there will be no tickets available on day so Cambridge fans need to have brought in advance.  
 
There is no beer served in the away section of the stadium
 
Car Parking can be found in Anson Road on a first come first served basis at the cost of £5. To access the Anson Road car park the best direction to approach the stadium on the A2030 Eastern Road. As you approach the ground you will pass the Good Companion pub on the left as Eastern Road becomes Velder Avenue. You will see the floodlights directly ahead. Continue straight on through two sets of traffic lights into Rodney Road a small industrial estate. Take the first left turning into Anson Road. The cat park is on the left and stewards will be visible outside. The Post Code is P04 8SX.

You can park in Milton Cross School in Milton Road which is behind away fan end.www.miltoncross-tkat.org

Milton Road, Portsmouth PO3 6RB · 0333 011 0476


The most recommended pub is the Good Companion
http://www.goodcompanion-portsmouth.co.uk/


It is on the Eastern Road and a ten minute walk to the ground straight ahead where visiting fans will find the away end.

Matchday Information - Grimsby 

9/4/2017

Please see some information concerning the match on Friday against Grimsby.

Grimsby Town Football Club is a professional association football club based in the seaside town of Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, England.


See link for details of how to the ground

http://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/fans/visiting_supporters/

http://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/first-time-visitor-to-blundell-park-3441716.aspx

  • Coaches are advised to turn off Grimsby Road via Tiverton Street to be parked conveniently along Harrington Street
  • Entry for away fans is via Harrington Street - If any supporters are collecting tickets, the ticket office is the other side of the stadium and is a 5 minute walk around the houses - literally! So its advisable to collect nice and early before making your way round.
  • Street parking only unless you use the NCP's in Cleethorpes - the later you arrive the further you'll be away from the ground. There are a couple of disabled parking bays on Harrington Street on a 'First come first served' basis and tend to be taken before the turnstiles open.
  • Pubs - Waves is generally the pub in Cleethorpes for away fans and is located opposite the entrance to the pier and a 5 minute walk from Cleethorpes Train Station/15 minutes from the ground.  The Blundell Hotel outside of the ground is no longer an away pub and is home fans only.
  • Turnstiles will open at 1:30pm as will both of the bars and catering outlets in the away end. The away bars do also sell '2 pinters'. 
  • If fans fancy fish and chips, GR8 white on Grimsby Road is recommended or if they fancy a sit down before/after the game its Steels in the Market Place. - Very apt with it being a Good Friday game.
  • There are a couple of cash machines on Grimsby Road both before and after the ground as well as plenty around St Peters Avenue in Cleethorpes.

Leyton Orient Fans' Trust Collection 

8/4/2017

We, the Leyton Orient Fans' Trust, are holding a bucket collection today, begging for help from U's  fans as our beloved club lurches from crisis to crisis. Not only are we facing almost certain relegation from the Football League, we’re fighting for our very survival as a football club. You will no doubt have seen this week that Orient's owner has not paid the long serving staff or players. We’ve already faced one winding-up petition in the courts, and the situation is getting steadily worse.
 
Our Regeneration Fund has been brilliantly supported by fans up and down the country and will be used to do exactly as the name suggests, in regenerating Leyton Orient Football Club. It certainly won’t be used to pay the owner’s debts for him!
 
We would like to place on record a massive debt of thanks to everyone at Cambridge United  who have gone well out of their way to support a fellow League Two club by helping facilitate today's collection Across social media we have also seen some very kind comments from U's fans who know only too well what we are going through. We would like to thank every  Cambridge United supporter who makes a donation, however small, to our collection today.
 
If anyone misses the opportunity to make a donation to our collection today, they can do so by visiting our website at savetheorient.com where we have details of how to make a contribution via bank transfer, PayPal or GoFundMe:
 
We would further like to thank Cambridge United for the donation of a signed shirt, which will be auctioned online to raise more money for our desperate fight.
 
Good luck to both sides today and we hope you all enjoy the game.

'We are in an infinitely better place' - EFL chief Shaun HarveyBy Simon Stone

From the BBC Sport website

It has not been an easy few months for the English Football League.
Sole guardians of the professional league from 1888 to the Premier League's formation in 1992, the EFL, as it was rebranded in the summer of 2016, is at the centre of the biggest issues affecting the game.
BBC Sport spoke to EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey about:
  • Historical child abuse allegations;
  • A continuing lack of black managers;
  • Fans in open revolt at member clubs;
  • Concerns over what parachute payments are being used for;
  • A legal row over Financial Fair Play;
  • Distrust amongst supporters about Premier League B teams and Scottish pair Celtic and Rangers coming into the English pyramid.

LOFT has launched the Leyton Orient Regeneration Fund with an initial target of £250,000 to be used in one of a number of scenarios.

Background

Leyton Orient Football Club faces an uncertain future. Its current owner, Francesco Becchetti, has indicated he is willing to sell, but the asking price may put off potential buyers due to the level of debt he has built up to (we believe) other family companies during his ownership - some £10m+ is owed in total across the club and its holding company.

Administration, or even liquidation, cannot be ruled out - despite Becchetti's recent cutting of the playing squad, there is a very real risk that he may simply stop covering the losses the club currently makes. Indeed that now seems to have happened, following the announcement on 1 March that a winding-up petition has been served on the club. Even though that petition has now been adjourned until 12 June and the tax bill to HMRC paid, the debt to trade creditors remains in our estimation a significant six-figure sum.

While the best solution to Leyton Orient's situation is for Becchetti to sell the club as a going concern to a new owner, LOFT's remit as a supporters' trust means that we have to plan for the worst. To that end, LOFT members passed a resolution on 2 March 2017, approving the setting up of the Leyton Orient Regeneration Fund with an initial target of £250,000.

The fund would be used to help regenerate Leyton Orient FC (or, in the event of liquidation of the club, a successor ‘phoenix club’) in the following scenarios:

  • Negotiated sale of the club involving LOFT
  • Administration
  • Liquidation

The proposed uses of the Fund are set out in the Fund proposal document - note that the initial proposal was for a target of £100k, but our members voted to set a higher target. Note that we are not raising money to pay the debts for Mr Becchetti while he remains in charge - this fund is to try and secure a better future for the club after he leaves, which is now beyond doubt as being in the best interests of the club.

EXPECTANT ON THE HABBIN....EXPECTANT ON THE HABBIN....

2/4/2017

0 Comments

When I renewed my Habbin season ticket at the end of July I had no idea that I would find out the next week I was expecting my first baby.

This prompted lots of questions in my mind, “How long will I be able to go for?” “Will I be able to stand?”
Well the answers are I’m still standing in the Habbin at 37 weeks pregnant! I have been lucky enough to have a pretty healthy pregnancy and have just carried on as normal.

The bonus of being in the Habbin is that you never have to queue for the ladies toilets so I can nip off at any time when baby decides to push on my bladder! I do not however recommend needing to be sick there – not that pleasant!

A lot of the men around me are definitely starting to get a bit nervous that my waters may break during the game and I have had a few questions of, ‘Are you sure you should still be coming?!’ But nothing gets in the way of me and the club I love.

Having said that, if any game could have brought on labour it was the Newport one. Completely forgetting you are pregnant as you leap around celebrating when the second and most definitely the third goal went in was probably not the smartest idea, but what a game that was!

I actually sat for the Colchester game but found it way more uncomfortable than standing so I’m looking forward to taking my usual spot on the terraces for the Hartlepool game. The Hartlepool game may be my last one before baby makes its appearance so I will enjoy being around the characters I stand with. 

The baby, in my opinion, is already the next generation in U’s fans; although its Daddy being a lifelong Arsenal fan has a slightly different view point. However, it will be growing up in Cambridge and has been going to games all season so I think that’s good enough reason to be United!  Babygrow and Baby on Board sticker have been purchased from the club shop and I really hope to be able to take the baby to the last home game of the season. What a photo opportunity that will be. Baby’s first game at around 3 weeks old.

My love affair with Cambridge United has been going on for nearly 30 years now and I am so excited that I will be able to bring my baby into the fold just as my Dad did with my brother and I.  There is nothing better than following your club, the horrendous lows we have suffered can all be forgotten with a successful season.


I look forward to being back on the terraces next season minus the bump and with a coat on that actually does up easily rather than having to breathe in to do it up!

Anouska Wright

I’m delighted to say that Anouska was on the Habbin for the Stevenage game. We will print a baby picture in the April Edition!

New Football Proposal

1/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Following recent meetings between the FA, Premier League and EFL clubs it is hoped that a new proposal to introduce allow eleven substitutes at half time will be introduced from the 2018/2019 season.

Clubs feel it will help to make matches more entertaining and is based on the American Football where teams have both defensive and attacking options

What are your views?
