Cambs fan, eh? Just thought I'd welcome you to the conference:

You're not starved of highlights even at this level. Although they do seem to be a bit behind this season, they haven't updated it with the new teams, I'm pretty sure they will have the highlights of all conf games because they've also got some live games scheduled.

Don't read into the pitch from that pic, its a few years old and the pitch is actually in top condition at the moment.

Ouch. You're not wrong. That pitch looks in pretty poor shape too. Ours had shatloads of divets in it today for some reason. Never seen the groundsman go out at half-time before.

Well the view at ours is pretty poor unless you fork out an extra £2 for the main stand:

Yeah, parking's a huge problem in Cambridge anyway but near the Abbey on matchdays is just a joke.

Huzzah.

Already had Gravesend & Exeter. Pretty shocking apparently (like I say, I haven't been there yet :-|)

Yus, what with restarting school I've been utterly knackered. Also, we paid the £3 to park in that little...parky-bit...because there was absolutely no place to park for miles. Then again, its relatively similar at Woking, but I'm just sort of used to it.

What I have realised is that the teams that have come down cater for away fans much better. The away fans areas at Kiddy and your place are amongst the best in the Conference. Hopefully when you're down here they won't segregate it (they prob won't) so you can go in the big main stand (tallest in the Conference, don't you know) instead of standing on uncovered, shallow terracing.

Just mind out for crappy away spots at Gravesend, Southport, Exeter, and the worst of the worst, Canvey. Awful, awful ground, especially in the pishing rain on a freezing cold day with no cover.

Awww... waz wickle Ash sleepy? :-)

You probably ended up coming along the A14 and through the centre of town. Big mistake on a Sat.

Again, same boat as me really. But keen to get back into it... I think.

I can't remember which way we came in. I seem to remember turning off at junction 11, and my brother saying we should have carried on to 14 because it'd be quicker or something. It didn't actually matter on the way back because I slept through it.

Didn't realise Mav was an Exeter fan.

Nah - I have to confess I haven't been since last season, due to a few deterrants. For example, Uri Gellar and Michael Jackson taking over. However, Jackson has gone to a different club "Young Boys" I believe it's called. Also, a relative who was a director and could get use seats in the Director's box resigned, so it's been a bit tricky.

However, I no doubt will be getting back down to St. James' Park soon, along with Mav.
