U'S V TOTTENHAM - TUESDAY

CAMBRIDGE United will be hosting Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur in the final fixture before our return to the Football League.  The match will take place at the R Costings Abbey Stadium on Tuesday 5th August, 7.45pm kick off.  

Tottenham are committed to bringing a strong team with a number of established first team players, so it should be a night to relish for our supporters.  The club is expecting a big crowd, so whilst it is not all ticket, we suggest those fans wishing to sit in the main stand purchase their tickets in advance.

Discussing the fixture, Director of Football Jez George said "We are very grateful to Tottenham Hotspur for arranging this fixture and agreeing to bring a strong team.  They recognise the effect that can have for a club like ourselves and the opportunity it will create for us to attract a really big crowd and generate funds.  As I have explained since we won promotion, our ability to compete on the pitch from here on will be determined by our ability to generate revenue off the pitch due to the Football League Salary Cap Mandatory Rules."

Jez went into explain "We have a fantastic relationship with Tottenham at youth level which was cemented last year when one of our talented young players, Elliott Thorpe, joined their academy.  We are really pleased that we have extended that to first team level and look forward to hosting such a great club and maybe even welcoming some players to the R  Costings Abbey Stadium that graced the World Cup."

Tickets for the tie are now on sale from the U's ticket office, open 9am-4:30pm Monday-Friday or by telephone on 01223 566 500.
