Behind the goal where we have previously been accommodated is now their “family stand”.
We are in the S Habbin Stand seats on the side (sold out) and S Habbin Terrace (standing onlly). Hopefully all the kids that want to stand but have bought seats will vacate them else the elderly and infirm will have an uncomfortable afternoon standing whilst those that do have seats will be blighted by persistent standing (as at Bristol).
Cambridge FC could have easily resolved this by making both seats and standing simultaneously available at the outset. Selling all the seats first achieves nothing except save stewarding costs, which makes sense if 50 Barrow or Fleetwood fans are the visitors but there will probably be 700+ from Colchester. |

Harry Anderson was indeed in the away end, his knee supported by a brace complete with a complicated protractor style gauge and an adjusting ratchet that didn’t look too comfortable. Sadly, I doubt if he will be back on the grass any time soon.
I doubt if he saw the winner hit the net, as we didn’t……
There were dire view issues caused by youngsters persistently standing, notably in the aisles and on the staircases. We had already moved lower having seen nothing of the first five minutes, but elderly infirm supporters (include Harry in the latter) didn’t see much of the nearest goal mouth action in the second half due to this issue.
There were patently far more U’s supporters than seats in the middle block because we had been corralled into too small an area from which the standing kids then refused to move to the available seats on the flanks (where we had relocated). Where designated, stadiums are all-seater and stewards must enforce this. The Gas should have opened the standing terrace for those that wanted to stand, or otherwise better police this.
Soon we face a situation whereby Cambridge FC have already sold 100% of the available seats. Now many elderly and infirm U’s supporters have only the option of standing on a terrace. But one can bet that the away seated area will be blighted by standing youngsters.
Why are clubs getting this so wrong? Is there no liaison between clubs that a travelling 600+ U’s fan base is now likely? Bristol Rovers didn’t seem sufficiently organised. Why did Cambridge initially put only seats on sale and only later open the standing terraces? I know of a number of loyal U’s fans now not traveling to Cambridge because their various disabilities won’t allow them to stand for two hours. Yet I am sure if offered BOTH standing or seated options from the outset, the kids would select standing. Shambolic or what? [Post edited 19 Jan 7:15]

Dunno what happened Wessex. Internet dropped out and so did my message.
Danny Cowley praised the referee, but Evans agreed with you. I agree with Danny as Althought he was a tad lenient with yellow cards, bI didn’t think his decisions wrong, except for the goal kick he gave when Gape blocked a shot which then hit the bar (Cowley confirmed).
As an ex resident of Bristol (well Portishead) I can confirm that horrific traffic is normal around the ground. But Coach A got away promptly thanks to the police intervening in a ruck just beyond the car park that gave us an exit as the carriageway obstructions parted, Sadly, following Coach B hadn’t reached Reading Services when we left it. We are now ten minutes from the JCS.
Good result. Not a great advert for League Two (except the goal). But onwards and upwards. |

Loads of late goals screwed me today, like Sunderland’s equaliser at Spurs, but when Gakpo scored for Liverpool on 90+4 minutes I was still sitting pretty. So to then take only a solitary point at full time is disappointing. To be fair, it was a privilege to watch Fulham’s equaliser on 90+7. Will never see a better strike! But a tough day for predictions.

I think it was a red button option on Sky Sports +.
MKD concede on 90+4 for the second week running. Freddie Lapado and Will Grigg coming off subs bench to salvage a point for Chesterfield.
No doubt about it, we are in the mix. |

I’m not surprised if West Stand tickets are not selling well as I know a number that alternate between Portman Road and Jobserve depending on who is at home. Both Ipswich and the U’s are at home today.
I’ve been away over Xmas, missing the last three fixtures, but will add my vocal support today. During my time absent, I’ve noticed far greater criticism of referees in the press and forums. I’m uncomfortable that referees get so much stick, but Bromley top suggests to me underlying concerns.
It’s time the EFL improved the standard of L2 refereeing to prevent the thugs and cheats from prospering. What seems to have happened (IMHO) is Premier League VAR demands have sucked up more resource, so starving the lower leagues of quality.
On a positive note, this creates greater career opportunity for aspiring referees, but in the meanwhile we have a void whilst they gain experience and competence. Any thoughts Gerry-US? |

Only consolation yesterday was predicting a Salford win. Frankly, I don’t think U’s games should be included as evidently a majority went with their hearts not heads.
