CFU Statement on the announcement that Cambridge United are exploring moving to a new stadium on the Cambridge East (Marshalls) site:
“There have been many false starts on relocation in the past, but with the backing of both Cambridge and South Cambs Councils, along with the Greater Cambridge Development Group, Combined Authority Mayor and Hill Group, this opportunity seems most likely to succeed.
Of course we will be sad to leave the Abbey Stadium, however it is obvious to most fans that the current stadium is no longer suitable, and re-development is financially unattractive. A new stadium a couple of miles or so along Newmarket Road seems to be the best option.
We are pleased to see that a CUFC fan in Richard Arnold has been appointed Stadium Advisor.
CFU look forward to be involved in future decisions.”
