Grosvenor’s next public meeting will take place in the Cambridge United Supporters Club at 7.30 p.m. on Monday 12th March, when all are welcome to attend.
In the run up to next week’s public meeting by Grosvenor Developments about progress to build a sports village on land between the M11 and the Trumpington Park and Ride site, Cambridge Fans United has been keen to see progress made towards making the scheme a reality.

Grosvenor’s plans include a new stadium for Cambridge United and ambitious facilities for the club’s Youth and Community Trust, which already has over 1,000 youngsters on its books. The Sports Village would also offer the opportunity for other local sports to get new pitches and top notch ancillary facilities.

 CFU Chairman, Dave Matthew Jones said

“Whilst we recognise that Trumpington residents have genuine concerns about what this development might bring, the club has been waiting for this opportunity to relocate into decent accommodation for many years. However, this is not just about a football team moving, because Cambridge and its surrounding areas are in real need of facilities like these.”

 “Whilst there has been a growth in the population, facilities for sport and for football, in particular, have not kept pace with that expansion. Youngsters in particular, have been under catered for and that needs to change, but these plans stand to benefit everyone, as part of an agenda in which concerns about health and well being can be addressed.”

 “If we continue to build more houses but don’t provide proper sporting facilities for families, what sort of place will it be? If we want to continue to attract businesses and young professionals to the Cambridge area, then these things go hand in hand.”

“I have lived in the Cambridge area for forty years and have seen so many schemes that would have benefitted people talked about, delayed and then disappear and I think that my children and grandchildren deserve better than that.” “I know that local people are concerned about issues like transport and disturbance, and so are football supporters. We need to work together on those concerns and overcome them to the benefit of all. Now is the time to begin to do that and for Cambridge to reap the rewards with a great scheme which we can all be proud of.”
