Mead Plant & Grab Family Stand

Fans watch from the Mead Plant & Grab Family Stand

Cambridge United are pleased to announce that the Mead Plant & Grab South Stand will become the Club’s designated home family stand from the 2024/25 season...

Over the past few seasons, the Club has placed significant focus on growing its home supporter base through improving the matchday experience and engaging with underrepresented groups within the community.

This has resulted in the average attendance at the Cledara Abbey Stadium increasing by over 57% since the Club were promoted to EFL League One three seasons ago, with occupancy in home areas of the stadium this season exceeding an average of 90%.

The Club recognises that to increase the supporter base further, it needs to create additional seating and improve the levels of matchday experience available to home supporters and therefore, it has taken the strategic decision to make the Mead South Stand the designated home family stand from the 2024/25 season. Family seating in Blocks A and G of the Main Stand will still be available.

The stand which will see improvements to catering, retail and engagement spaces this summer and will provide an improved match day experience for families, as well as new and existing supporters.

In addition, 15 wheelchair spaces and accompanying Personal Assistant seats will be available to home supporters, with Block H1 of the stand becoming a designated calm area for supporters, which will replace the current area located in Block A2 of the Main Stand.

To celebrate the launch, supporters purchasing an Adult or Concession Season Ticket in the stand will be able to obtain one Under 14 Season Tickets for free, or one Under 18 Season Tickets at half price.
