Finally, watch out for Marvin the Moose and a couple of First Team players who will be dropping in to say hello during the build up to kick-off.

Junior U's should bring along their Matchday Passport to the Junior U's Kids' Zone Kiosk to receive their latest opposition sticker to track their attendance during the 2022/23 season.

50/50 tickets...
50/50 tickets can be purchased for £1 from our new Programme and 50/50 Kiosks around the ground. A winner will be picked at half-time with the winning number declared across the stadium PA system.
Food and Drink…
Catering provisions at the Abbey Stadium have undergone an overhaul ahead of the new season, with new food outlets and bars installed around the ground.
Gourmet hotdogs, burgers, nacho's and locally sourced pies and pasties are just some of the new food items on offer, whilst the installation of over 30 new beer pumps around the ground should make grabbing a pre-match or half-time pint easier than ever before.
Fans are encouraged to stick around after the final whistle with the Abbey Eatery and Abbey Dispensary in the Main Stand open until 6pm, where all remaining pies and pasties will be reduced by half-price.
As with the majority of fixtures this season, only supporters with a Signature Suite Hospitality ticket can use the Dion Dublin Bar.
All food and drink outlets will open in conjunction with the turnstiles at 1:30pm and supporters should please be reminded that the Abbey Stadium is a cashless venue.
Stay Hydrated...
Bring your water bottles and stay hydrated whilst at the game via any of our seven water stations around the Abbey.
Check out the above map so you know where to go to fill up your bottle.
Travel…
There is no on-site car parking available at the Abbey Stadium and supporters are advised to use alternative modes of transport or the Cambridge Matchday Park & Ride service.
Home and away supporters can take advantage of the Cambridge Park & Ride, with a Matchday return ticket priced at £2.50 from Newmarket Road Park & Ride, CB5 8AA.
The ticket is valid for one passenger only. However, if travelling with children, the normal £3 Park & Ride ticket is also available to purchase, allowing children under the age of 16 to travel free with one fee-paying adult. Click here for more information on the Park & Ride service.
For supporters who have difficult accessing public transport, the Club has partnered with Dial a Ride to offer home-to-stadium transport. For more information, please click here.
If you require disabled parking, please call the Club on 01223 566500.
Alternatively, supporters can cycle or scoot to the game. The Abbey Stadium is home to both bicycle and Voi scooter racks, allowing fans to park their ride safely whilst at the ground. Make the most of the Club's new partnership with Voi, the UK and Europe's leading micromobility operator, by taking advantage of the following discount codes:
- CAMUNITED - 1 x 15min free for all New Users
- CAMUNITED_VOI - 3 x 20% off a ride existing users
To redeem the codes, download the Voi app on your Android or iPhone device, open the in-app wallet and click on ‘Redeem a Voucher’ to enter the releveant code. Both codes are only valid in Cambridge and must be redeemed by the end of regular season on 6 May 2023.
If driving to the ground, supporters are reminded not to park on the drives or grass verges of local residents. This reminder comes following reports in recent weeks of supporters parking at Cambridge Dialysis Centre on Ditton Road, which has meant that patients have been unable to attend treatment appointments. We kindly ask that this site is not used for matchday parking.
Please be considerate if parking on local streets and always follow local guidance and parking laws.
Supporter Behaviour...
Cambridge United would like to remind its supporters of new tougher measures and stronger sanctions relating to anti-social and criminal behaviours at football grounds across the country.
The FA, Premier League and EFL have introduced a new set of actions, which will be implemented across all English football leagues this season and are backed by the Football Supporters’ Association.
The new measures target activity such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics and throwing objects - as well as drug use and discriminatory behaviour.
These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences. They have no place in football, or anywhere. Click here for more information.
