Away Fans' Guide | Cambridge United

We wish to remind supporters of the importance of adhering to opposition ground regulations at all away games. These are standard practice across all EFL grounds, specifically in relation to the use of pyrotechnics, missile throwing and pitch incursions. 

Pyrotechnics and objects, or missiles specifically, can cause serious injury or harm. 

Any incidents of this nature will be investigated and could lead to sanctions being applied by Plymouth Argyle, the football authorities, or the Police.

Please also remain courteous when inside the stadium, with regards to foul and abusive language. If you do hear anything offensive while inside the stadium, please report it to your nearest steward. Tragedy chanting and discriminatory abuse of any kind is not tolerated.

If the match officials hear any abusive or discriminatory chanting during the game, they hold the right to suspend the game, taking the players off the field until further notice.

We would like to remind supporters that the strongest condemnation is employed towards discriminatory abuse, tragedy chanting, anti-social behaviour, crowd disorder and misconduct, and illegal activity inside football stadia.

Our stance on the above will ensure the strongest possible action continues to be taken against those found guilty of any offence, including the issuing of Football Banning Orders.

Cambridge United prides itself on being an inclusive football club and providing the best customer service for its disabled supporters. The following services are available to both home and away fans.

Sensory Bags
Supporters with additional sensory needs can access a sensory bag courtesy of Cambridge United. Both home and away fans can access the bag which includes the following items: 

Sunflower sticker to make stewards aware of any support needs, ear defenders and in-ear plugs to help with noise control, sensory stress style ball to help ease any anxiety, a selection of puzzles and a pen to help keep the mind occupied, and a pass to enable a queue jump style access through an allocated gate. Sensory packs can be secured on the day of the game or in advance by contacting Lorraine Cullum, the Club’s Disability Support Liaison Officer, dslo@cambridgeunited.com.

A £10 deposit will be taken when collecting the pack, but will be refunded to you providing the pack is returned in its original condition at the end of the game. The packs can be collected on matchday from the Accessibility Information Point, located in the left hand side of the Newmarket Road turnstiles.

Audio for All
Home and away supporters with a visual impairment, additional sensory needs or the elderly can receive audio-descriptive commentary courtesy of the Audio For All team. Expertly trained volunteer fans of Cambridge United provide a highly professional, neutral and entertaining match description for free of charge.

The service is broadcast to all parts of the stadium. For more information or to book onto the service, please contact dslo@cambridgeunited.com.

Sunflower Logo
Cambridge United recognises the sunflower logo, which can be worn to let our staff know that the wearer may need additional support or face additional challenges.

The sunflower badge or sticker is a discreet way for the wearer to indicate that they may need extra help, support or time.

Cambridge United staff, stewards, first aiders and Cledara Abbey Helpers are trained to ensure that they recognise this logo and what it means.

Visual Visitor
Cambridge United has teamed up with picturepath, to provide a visual visitor guide for supporters with an aim to help reduce anxiety for SEN Children.

All fans are able to benefit from using picturepath’s visual timelines. The app based timelines will support fans, in particular those with additional needs and heightened anxiety such as autism, in preparation for and during their visit to the stadium.

The guides are available within the existing app that can be downloaded for free via your app store (Apple/Android), simply navigate to add routine, and then “visit with picturepath” to access the guides.
