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.

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.

Car ParkSat NavCostDistance to GroundDescription
Coldhams Lane Matchday Car ParkCB1 3HP£42.0kmThere is a matchday car park on Coldham Lane just after the railway bridge, but it is a good 20 minute walk from the stadium.
Ditton Walk Street ParkingCB5 8QDFree0.5kmThere is some availability for street parking in the roads behind the stadium, which is only a 5 minute walk. Cars are parked at your own risk.

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.
