Heads Up Christmas Dinner

England players serve up Christmas lunch and chat mental health with guests at SGP one of those guest was Ian Darler. Watch the video and read the story below

Ian Darler, Cambridge

It was a such a nice surprise. When I entered the world of mental health, which came after a serious accident, the last thing I ever thought was that I’d find myself at St. George’s Park meeting the England players along with an amazing group of people who’ve all been through similar situations.

I had no idea what was coming! But I think everybody sitting around the table was appreciative of each other, there are various things which relate to different forms of mental health and it was like a big counselling session with everybody’s views being the same.

I’ve been involved in professional football myself for 41 years, after starting in 1979 as the youngest head groundsman in the Football League at Cambridge United and since then, I’ve moved to be the stadium manager and matchday safety officer.

CUFC v Orient

The M11 derby. Not the greatest of names in my opinion, but as the second nearest rivals I suppose it is good enough.

Following a good point at Cheltenham, the last game before Christmas sees the return of Josh Coulson (unfortunately in the red colours of Orient), hero scorer of our first goal back in the league. I'm sure all U's fans will
give him a good reception before the game, lets hope he doesn't score against us!

Ticket details here: cufc.venuetoolbox.com/VenueManagement/asp/bookTickets.asp?homeArea=home&dept=

There will be a Bauble & Spoon race at half time to raise funds for Wintercomfort. Entry details here:

https://www.cambridge-united.co.uk/news/2019/december/bauble-and-spoon/

As well as match programmes and 50/50 draw tickets, at the CFU outlet we should have more stock of Life's a Pitch by Ian Darler (it is a really great read), and we have a few sets of Celery & Coconuts volumes 1, 2 and 3 at the special price of £33.50 (cash only).

On the subject of Christmas presents, I was in the club shop the other day. They have the usual replica shirts, hats & scarves etc, but also a good selection of gift ideas. Have a look here:

https://cufc.venuetoolbox.com/VenueManagement/asp/displayProductGroup.asp?id

Nomophobia?  Do you have Nomophobia? Look it up on your phone: The fear of losing mobile phone signal!
U's fan Stu Proudfoot has written a book on how we interact with each other, suitable for children, teens and adults (Did you see the picture in the Plymouth programme of Liam Hughes with the book?). More details here:
https://www.nadiaandhamid.com/
 
If you want to have a look at the book Stu will have copies at the CFU Outlet ehen we play Orient on 21st December 2019.

CUFC New Ground? Read CFU Chairman Robert Osbourn's thought on the possible new ground for or come to the outlet for a chat

To read what by clicking here 

CUFC Foodbank (#hungerdoesntwearclubcolours)

There was a great response to the request for food items to be left at the CFU outlet before the Plymouth match. This initiative will continue, you can also leave items at the club shop on non-match days. Tesco vouchers are
also accepted (and are much lighter to carry!).

Details (including the most required items)can be found here

CUFC Shirts
CFU are looking for donations of CUFC shirts, especially those from before 1990, to be displayed in frames at the Abbey. Any duplicates will be sold to raise funds to cover the framing cost, any that cannot be sold will be
donated to a suitable charity (probably sending the shirts to Africa as we have done in the past).


CUFC FUTSAL

Another win last week as CUFC Futsal beat Birmingham Tigers 6-3. Next is a big game against York at the University of Cambridge Sports Centre (CB3 0AS), entry is free. The U19s kick off at 4:30pm, the main match is 5:40 kick off.


Details of the CUFC Futsal matches can be found on their Facebook page here:

THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT

18/12/2019

0 Comments

 

Pick up your copy of Life’s a Pitch for £12.99 from the CFU caravan (front car park on match days) or from Ian at the Abbey Stadium

Picture
He’s won just about every award the green-keeping industry has to offer, managed his stadium through tempestuous and terrific times and dealt with as many lifeand-death situations as some paramedics.

Now Ian Darler, head groundsman and stadium manager at Cambridge United’s Abbey Stadium for 40 years, tells the story of a life that has seen him rub shoulders with some of the greatest and funniest characters in football, turn out the kind of surfaces players dream of, cross swords with the occasional manager and cope with catastrophes that would have floored a lesser mortal.

Lauded by his peers in the turf management business as one of its most able and dedicated practitioners, Ian has tales to tell about personalities from every echelon of the game.

A natural storyteller, he remembers every disaster, every triumph, every tragedy and every side-splitting practical joke.

But there have been bad times too. Ian talks about the life-threatening incident that threatened to end his career and plunged him into a very dark place.

Throughout the book, men and women who have come to value Ian’s peerless skill and devotion pay tribute to a remarkable man.

Priced at £12.99, and with a foreword by England legend and former U’s manager Roy McFarland, Ian’s moving memoir makes the perfect Christmas gift.

WSC memorabilia survey

In WSC 394 there's a four-page feature on football memorabilia covering programmes, seven-inch singles and general items such as shirts, videos, tickets, magazines, fanzines and much more.

Apparently collectors are becoming disillusioned and official schemes are only sporadic, so many of these important artefacts are in danger of being lost. What should be done about this? Is it an important issue?

They would like to have your views concerning the subject via a short survey which can be completed by clicking the link below.

CFU chief Robert Osbourn voices cautious optimism about Cambridge United's vision

13/12/2019

Robert Osbourn has voiced cautious optimism about Cambridge United’s vision for a new stadium.

Last week, U’s chief executive Ian Mather unveiled a concept for a new home for the club, which would be near junction 35, Stow cum Quy, of the A14, and a couple of miles from their Abbey Stadium.

It would be part of the larger development of the eastern fringe of the city, with the site identified with Marshall and Cambridgeshire County Council for a 12-000 seater stadium on green belt land owned by the local authority.

Everyone at Cheltenham Town Football Club would like to welcome you to the Jonny-Rocks Stadium, and hope that you have a safe and pleasant journey to and from the ground.


By Car:
From The North:

Leave the M5 at junction 10 and take the A4019 towards Cheltenham. Keep straight on through the traffic lights, until you come to large roundabout (there is a McDonalds on the left), at which you turn turn left. Continue up this road going over a double mini roundabout. Keep going for about 300 yards and then turn right into Swindon Lane. Go over the level crossing and straight over the next roundabout (signposted Prestbury) passing the race course on your left. Turn right into Albert Road (signposted Gloucestershire University) and at the bottom at the roundabout turn left into Prestbury Road, (the ground is signposted from here) and then further down Prestbury Road, turn right into Whaddon Road. The Jonny-Rocks Stadium is down on the left.

From The South:
Leave the M5 at Junction 11 turning right towards Cheltenham. Go across 1st roundabout - GCHQ is on your left. Turn left at the next roundabout, into Princess Elizabeth Way. Go straight over the next roundabout, (the exit is over at about "1 o'clock"). Keep on up this road, and you will come to a big roundabout, where you will see a McDonalds on the corner. Go straight across this roundabout and continue up this road going over a double mini roundabout. Then as North.

By Train:
Nearest train station: Cheltenham Spa Railway Station 
Frequent train routes run between Cheltenham and Gloucester, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and London.  To get to the town centre from Cheltenham Spa railway station you can either walk (approximately 20 minutes), get the Stagecoach D bus (departs every 10 minutes during peak times) or get a taxi (there is a taxi rank at the station).


Parking
Car Parking is available at the ground for £6, and it is best to book this in advance by calling 01242 573558.  Please note that no phone sales can be taken on the day of the game.

Some spaces may be available for purchase on the day, but this cannot be guaranteed and would be sold on a first come first served basis.

There is another car park in the Parklands Community Centre, located at the back of the Colin Farmer Stand, which is also available on a first come first served basis on a matchday.

There are several car parks in the Town Centre, see https://www.cheltenham.gov.uk/parking for information on locations and costs.

Details of local bus timetables can be found at https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/west/cheltenham-servicesCheltenham main bus and coach station (Royal Well) is 1 mile the Jonny-Rocks Stadium, roughly a 20 minute walk. The ‘A’ bus route goes from outside the Bank House (Wetherspoons) pub to just outside the Stadium.

Cheltenham Spa railway station is around 2 miles from the Jonny-Rocks Stadium, around a 40 minute walk via the Town Centre. Alternatively the ‘D’ or ‘E’ bus service from the station goes to the town centre.

Supporters Coaches are able to drop off outside the away turnstiles on Whaddon Road, and will then park at Kohler Mira Offices, returning for pickup 10 minutes before the end of the game.
 

 Away End Information
 
Away supporters tickets are generally located in the Hazlewoods Stand, at the Whaddon Road end of the Jonny-Rocks Stadium

NB The nearest cash machine is around a 10 minute walk away, and while we are able to take card payments at the Ticket Office there is often a queue, so we advise bringing cash wherever possible to save time.

Cambridge United back #hungerdoesntwearclubcolours

Cambridge Utd will support Cambridge city foodbank in working together to help local people who are in hardship this winter. The football club will have a foodbank available on match day’s for fans to donate items of food which can then be shared in the wider local community. 

Although Cambridge is a City of innovation and wealth, costs are high and there are thousands of people in hardship, sometimes having to choose between food and heat. The fans and supporters of Cambridge United Football Club understand the importance of teamwork and supporting each other & the Club’s Supporters federation Officer, Dave  Matthew-Jones said.

 "we are really proud to be associated with Cambridge City Foodbank. This is a time of year where, for many, the pressures of trying to provide for themselves and their families can prove really difficult. We would encourage everyone who can help to do so. Even a small amount can mean a lot and make a difference”. 

The idea of a foodbank on a match day has proved successful at football league grounds all over the country with many clubs creating one for their local community. Noticeably the #hungerdoesntwearcolours campaign was created on Merseyside with both Everton & Liverpool coming together to create something worthwhile for their communities. 

Fans can make donations to the Cambridge Utd foodbank on a match day, by bringing their donations to the club shop or CFU outlet. Some of the items which Cambridge City food bank suggest, can be donated are as follows.


- Tins of Fruit, meat, vegetables & Soup
- dried rice, pasta, mash
- cereal 
- tea, coffee, UHT Milk
-fruit juices, 
-jams, marmalade’s & healthy snacks. 
- Basic Toiletries

Our request would be that all goods are in date, undamaged and non-perishable

We’re hoping it’s a success here at the abbey & working with Cambridge city foodbank will ensure that the food is given to those with most need within Cambridge

If anyone has any questions or would like to volunteer to help run the Clubs foodbank initiative then please email (Dave.matthew.jones@cambridge-United.co.uk).
