Big Match Revisited ITV - U's v Bradford, May 1977
at 10:03 11 Apr 2021

Apologies if somebody's posted this already, but I've recently been watching the Big Match Revisited on ITV4 and stumbled across an episode with highlights from U's v Bradford at Layer Road, May 1977.

Here's the link if anybody would like to relive some memories!

Your favourite moment of the season
at 23:08 3 Jul 2020

Though the disappointment of missing out on promotion remains, perhaps we can look back on some of the fond moments of the past season as the dust settles. What was your favourite moment of the 2019/20 season?

I'll start: mine was the 3-1 win against Swindon at home. I'd had one of my worst ever working days and had really felt like jumping in the car and driving home. However, I knew all I'd do is dwell on the day and there was always the potential that the football might lift my spirits (it could have also made me feel even worse, so it was a big gamble). I hadn't seen a U's goal in front of me in the South Stand all season I don't think, so when Norris headed in the equaliser in the second half right under my nose, I was elated. The U's onslaught to come, with quickfire Theo goals to send us from a 0-1 defeat to a glorious 3-1 victory, was incredible. For everything that had happened that day, I celebrated those goals harder than I'd celebrated a U's goal since following the club and just that bit more than Tom's penalty against Spurs.

Was the 70s and 80s the golden era of football? Talk by Essex Uni researchers
at 08:36 27 Jun 2020

Hi all,

History Indoors is an organisation run by researchers from the University of Essex providing free history talks to the general public during the lockdown on Zoom. Our next talk on Wednesday looks at whether the pre-Premier League 1970s and 80s was a golden era or not. Terracing and affordable ticket prices versus racism and hooliganism?

This might be interesting for U's fans to think back on the days of Layer Road. Do you remember the 70s and 80s fondly for football, or are things better today overall?

The talk is at 2pm and 7pm on Wednesday 1st July. You can find out more and sign up here: https://historyindoors.co.uk/talk/the-golden-age-english-football-before-the-pre

Thanks guys,
Steven :)

This would be great at the Community Stadium on the face of it.

Cambridge Away
at 22:32 16 Jan 2020

Evening all. Cambridge away will officially be my first U's away game and planning to buy my ticket at the ticket office on Saturday ahead of the Macclesfield game. Has anybody used the Park and Ride before on Newmarket Road on previous trips to the Abbey Stadium? If so, does it fill up early? Also how many fans do you think we'll bring along?
