Shaun Grady, Chairman of the Board has issued the following update to supporters...
"We are proud that Cambridge United is a family Club, embedded in the community, and one where everyone works tirelessly to ensure that the Abbey is a welcoming and safe environment for all.
"It was great to have our biggest gate of the season on Saturday and an atmosphere to match. Thank you to everyone for your support.
"As mentioned after the Peterborough game, it was disappointing that a minority of our fans let themselves and the Club down at the fixture. Over the last fortnight a significant amount of time and resource has been invested into investigating the damaging incidents which were witnessed by the wider fanbase, and we are grateful for the co-operation and support of the Shadow Board who have worked alongside the Club’s Supporter Groups to understand more about what happened.
"It will be useful to discuss supporter behaviour and the supporter experience more generally at the next Shadow Board meeting.
"A report has now been submitted from the Club to the Police who are in the process of investigating all the relevant matters associated with the game. To date, one arrest has been made relating to the damage caused to the toilets at Weston Homes Stadium. The individual has been suspended from attending matches at the Abbey Stadium and pending the conclusion of Police proceedings, the Club will determine if there is a requirement to take further action.
"Additionally, we were disappointed to see the Club's name associated with a media report on substance misuse last week. There was an issue in the away section of the stadium at a game last season and, whilst there appears to be a nationwide increase in drug use at football grounds across the country, the Club is confident that suitable measures are in place to tackle the problem and are pleased that incidents have reduced so far this season.
"Thank you again for all your support and we hope to see as many of you as possible at the Abbey this week to cheer on the team."
