Re: Cambridge Unites Match Thread 29th April 2023

I hope Hamilton is okay after being shot just before the first goal to leave Dunk free.

The turnstiles need fixing before next season, they were accepting the season cards/tickets but not moving sometimes. The girl behind the turnstile said you had to scan it again, which was rubbish as they won't accept another and when denied (as it clearly accepted the first and was told okay) was told to go to the ticket office and the queue of 100 people for them to tell us it had been used no doubt.

Then the scoreboard broke, and then the team.

The last time we got relegated in 1999 was a turning point with Coley coming in, that was 39 years since the previous one.

The 1999 relegation lead to an uphill rise, eventually getting into the conference (even that had seemed impossible) the League. The 1960 one put us into Division 4 but we soon went out of business. This time we are back in Division 4, with better facilities than 8 years ago and a new long term lease on the ground. I don't mind League 2, I was even excited when the NWC was formed 40+ years ago and we were in it, I just hope we stabilise next season and don't fall back into the abyss.

Having a football league is an asset to the town and borough, and support has grown over ten years since we got 1000 at home in the recent nadir, and hope it will continue.
