Under The Abbey Stand

There’s nothing like August football at the Abbey. And United will be hoping to get off to the perfect start on Saturday as Cheltenham come to town. Tom and Swindle were on the first preview show of the season, and they spoke to Hoppo from the Robins Report to get the inside line on our opposition.

It was a real pleasure to kick off the new season by getting the opportunity to sit down with United’s new Director of Football, Mark Bonner, and the CEO, Alex Tunbridge. With Bonner we discussed new roles, recruitment and his relationship with Neil Harris, and with Alex we covered the rebrand, new sponsor and stadium redevelopment.

The season is nearly upon us. And that means it’s time to make some outlandish predictions and some fiery hot takes that are destined to fail. Jord, Tom and Jules are on the panel this week to look forward to our first season back in League Two, talking through both their predictions and those from friends of the pod and listeners.

Just over two weeks out from the start of the season, how are we all feeling? Nervous? Excited? Hopeful? Disappointed? After an enjoyable Tuesday evening in Braintree, Jules, Tom and Jordan got together for a pre-season check in, chatting Ben Knight, the new number 1, trialists and squad building.

The last pod of the 2024/25 season is here! In this episode we react to a retained list that is fresh off the press, dish out our end of season awards, and run back through our favourite League One memories.

Thanks very much for listening this year and for all your constant support. It means a lot to us that so many of you stick with us through a difficult season. We’ll be back after a break ready to go again for the new year. Up the U’s!

No one is more excited than us to put a line under 2024/25 and go again next year. It’s been a season to forget. But something that can make it more memorable is an excellent end of season review show, so Jules, Jord, Tom, and Swindle got themselves to the Portland, poured themselves a big glass of misery, and pressed record. Part One features a month-by-month look over the season, a look back on our pre-season predictions, and a tribute to Tom Youngs.

Cambridge United have officially been relegated into League Two. It’s been a long time coming, but that day is finally here. On this bumper show, Tom, Jules and Matt have the task of picking it all apart, discussing relegation, reds and hopefully a not very big retained list.

It’s literally do or die up in the Midlands this weekend. The U’s go to Burton knowing nothing but a win will do. Jord and Jules are in Jord’s kitchen for today’s preview show, chatting about Shayne Lavery, Harris’ presser and whether there’s a miracle on the cards.

After a resurrection on Friday, United’s faint hopes of staying up all but died on Monday. Isn’t that the wrong way around for Easter? Tom, Jord and Jules look back at the light and shade of the weekend: a great win up at Huddersfield, and then a defeat at home to Orient, leaving the U’s needing a miracle to survive.
