CAMBRIDGE UNITED

Abbey Stadium (capacity 8,127)

The Abbey Stadium has been home to Cambridge United since 1932. The record attendance at the stadium is 14,000 which was actually a friendly in 1970 against Chelsea to celebrate the installation of new floodlights.

The club were challenging for promotion to the Premier League in the early 1990’s but have since declined through the leagues, meaning plans to expand the stadium were scrapped. However, a new South Stand was opened in 2002, which gives the stadium a much more modern look.

Away fans visiting the Abbey Stadium are located in the Marstons Smooth South Stand, with a typical allocation of around 1,600. However, for larger games, an area in the Habbin Terrace is made available.

Directions by Car

For directions to Cambridge United’s Abbey Stadium (CB5 8LN for Sat Navs) from wherever your journey starts, just type in your postcode or starting location here:

There is no parking available for away fans at the stadium, so fans tend to park in the streets behind the stadium. Otherwise there is some off road car parking to be had a little further away from the stadium.

We’ve compiled a list of car parks, below, near to the Abbey Stadium for hassle free parking while you’re at the match.

Cambridge now has two railway stations, Cambridge and Cambridge North, with the latter being slightly closer to the stadium. However, most fans will arrive at Cambridge Station which is just under a 2 mile walk, so many fans choose to take a taxi.

For those that wish to walk, head away from the station and turn right onto Tenison Road. Take another right onto Devonshire Road and follow this around to the left to the next junction. Turn right onto Mill Road and head over the bridge then take the third left on to Sedgwick Street. Follow this all the way up until you reach Coldham’s Common. Walk through this field and under the railway bridge and you will eventually reach the away turnstiles.

Find train times and book your tickets for the best available prices by clicking through to the trainline website below:

There are a number of away friendly pubs near the Abbey Stadium, all of which cater to different needs. Please note, however, that some bars require club colours to be covered and some do not allow children.

However, rather than take our word for it, we want to give you the view from other away fans who have visited the Abbey Stadium.

Over the coming months we will be building up fans reviews of the best places to drink on an away trip to Cambridge United, and you’ll be able to find them here.

In the meantime, we’ve included a map below with all the best away pubs highlighted for you.

Away Fans' Guide | Cambridge United

Argyle head to Abbey Stadium in Cambridge looking to return to winning ways at the top of Sky Bet League One. On Friday night, Port Vale ended Steven Schumacher's side's 15-game unbeaten run in the league, but neither Ipswich Town or Sheffield Wednesday could secure the wins to leapfrog the Greens at the top of the tree. Despite the combination of cost of travel, Christmas fast approaching, and disrupted public transport services, another huge travelling contingent is expected in Cambridgeshire. Thank you for your support. Making the trip? Read on for our fans' guide.

Away fans' guide to Abbey Stadium

From the South - M11 to Junction 14, then turn east along the A14 dual carriageway: From the North - A14 from Huntingdon, then turn east along the A14 dual carriage way: Exit the A14 at the fourth junction (situated east of Cambridge), up the slip road to the roundabout (signposted Stow-Cum-Quy). Turn right onto the A1303, and return westwards towards Cambridge. Go straight over the first roundabout, passing Marshall Airport to the left.

For this match Argyle supporters will be allocated the South Stand. 

Turnstiles will be open at 1.30pm when the catering facilities will also be opened. 

Information for supporters travelling to the ground can be found here:  https://www.cambridge-united.co.uk/fans/away-fan-information/travel/           

Train Cambridge Station Cambridge rail station is located in the city centre and is a 25-30 minute walk from the ground. To get to the ground walk away from the station along Station Road and take the first right (Tenison Road). Take the first right again (Devonshire Road), follow this round to the left, up to the next junction. Turn right - again - onto Mill Road. Walk over the railway bridge, then take the third left, (Sedgewick Street). Follow this road, pass a set of traffic calming barriers, and shops (at this point you are in Cromwell Road) to a T-junction, (Coldham's Lane). Ahead of you should be a large field (Coldham's Common). Go into this field and follow a path under the railway bridge to the away turnstiles. There are regular services to and from Cambridge Railway Station, where taxis are available or the Citibus C3 service runs from the station every ten minutes during the day and at longer intervals in the evenings. Cambridge North There is now a new station in the city, Cambridge North, nearby in Chesterton. Not every train stops there however and it is approximately a 15-20 minute walk to the ground. Coming out of Cambridge North Station, turn to the left and walk through the Bike Parking area and onto the Cycle/Footpath running parallel with the train tracks. This leads to a Cul-de-Sac called Moss Bank. On exiting Moss Bank, turn right on Fen Road. Continue straight on Fen Road (and later Water Street) for about 1/2 a mile until you reach the Green Dragon Pub. At the pub, cross the river using the footbridge and then cross over Stourbridge Common to join Oyster Row and Garlic Row. At the end of Garlic Row you will join Newmarket Road - turn left, cross over the railway lines and you will see the stadium on your right.   

A Citibus C3 bus stops within a few yards of the ground (Ditton Walk stop) on Newmarket Road and runs from the railway station and through the city centre every ten minutes during the day, and at longer intervals in the evenings. Check the Stagecoach website for more details and a Citi 3 timetable.

Ahead of the 3pm kick-off, football fans can catch any of the regular Park & Ride buses heading into the city centre, which will all be stopping at the ground. On the return leg, there will be a dedicated bus waiting in the layby outside the stadium at 4.45pm, to take fans back to the Park & Ride once the game is over.
