My daughter was born during the game. I like to tell her it was about the same time as Dion scored, but actually she arrived around 20 minutes into the game, so a little early! Wow! So did you get your priorities right?🤣 I think its called 'Playing the long game'! 🤔

I suspect this is misdirection from those who would like the irony in their nickname to be played down.

..as the team that threw away a 4-goal lead in a play-off semi-final. There, I feel better about that sentence now.

Fantastic stuff. I often tell my daughter that being at the 2014 playoff final was the best day of my life. Her birth a distant second. She loves it.

She should consider herself lucky she's second.

On this day in...1932! (From 100 years of coconuts)
"In the summer of 1931, club president Henry Clement Francis acquired some land very close to the Celery Trenches known as Sindall’s Field and offered the club two choices: they could accept the whole site, undeveloped, or take a smaller parcel of land on which he would erect a fence and a grandstand for spectators. They accepted the latter option.
The pitch did not directly abut Newmarket Road but lay behind a large house known as the Old Gardens, which had possessed a tea garden with a summerhouse that people would visit at weekends (see History: early days). The ground was accessed via a path between the Gardens and Sindall’s Works (which later became a Corona factory) next door. Directly to the east was Marshall’s Aerodrome, which the company vacated in 1938 to move further down Newmarket Road, and the Whitehill Estate was built on the site.
It took a year for the pitch and ground to take shape, during which the club temporarily moved back to the Celery Trenches. Abbey United’s new home was officially opened with a friendly against Cambridge University Press on 31 August 1932"

Cam Univ Press play at the Cass Centre down Shaftesbury Rd adjoining the U's training ground. They can wave to each to each across the tennis courts. An anniversary fact. Boring but true. Of course Graham Daniels used to manage C.U. Press F.C. Oldest club in Cambridge.1893.
