Green Matchday donations...
As part of Green Football Weekend’s ‘Great Save’, we are pleased to welcome the British Heart Foundation to Saturday’s game as we call upon supporters to prevent their unwanted items from ending up in landfill.
We are working with our friends at the British Heart Foundation to help turn waste into lifesaving funds, by selling your unwanted goods in their local stores, which helps raise funds that continue their research into heart and circulatory diseases.
The BHF team will be at the front of the ground on Saturday, nearby the Kids’ Zone, taking donations from supporters. Click here for more information including a full list of their needed items.

If you have any questions or queries on the day of the game, please speak to our Abbey Helpers who are wearing high-viz jacket and will be located around the ground.
Away Fans...
Cambridge United looks forward to welcoming Peterborough United's travelling supporters to the Cledara Abbey Stadium. The full away allocation has been sold-out and as such, no tickets will be available to away fans on the day of the game.

Family Stand egress...
Following a successful trial at last week's game against Stevenage, supporters in the Mead Family Stand will once again be asked to leave the ground via the Main Stand after the game.

Club Shop & Ticket Office…
The new Club Shop and Ticket Office on Newmarket Road will be open from 10am on Saturday.
Pitched up outside the Shop will be our friends at the Coffee Tin - a mobile coffee van which sells a fantastic selection of coffees, teas, cakes and cold drinks for supporters to enjoy.

Multi Faith Prayer Room...
Located by the Main Stand turnstiles and available to anyone in the ground, a new Multi Faith Prayer Room will be open again on Saturday.

Supporter Behaviour...
Cambridge United would like to remind its supporters that anti-social and criminal behaviours at football grounds across the country will result in serious sanctions.
Acts 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.
Report It...
Safety at the Cledara Abbey Stadium remains a key priority on a Matchday and should you witness anti-social or discriminatory behaviour, please speak to a steward, report it via the Club's anonymous reporting textline - 075224 73291 - or through our online Report an Incident page.
