Cambridge Utd have always had problems with attacting crowds and therefore raising money, mainly due to the fact that hardly anyone in Cambridge is interested in football. Even when they were on the verge of winning promotion to the First Division (now Premiership), they struggled to get the 12,000 capacity. Wasn't John Beck the manager then? It was certainly after Ron Atkinson had left.

Anyway, it's sad to see a club like that having so many problems. No doubt they have a loyal band of diehards who have sweated blood for their cause (just like Stanley and many others) and it's those fans, etc I feel sorry for.
