Just wondering what part of the city we all come from. If your from surrounding villages, which ones? Split the town into its districts I'm from Coleridge. Obvs there are posters here like Arbury and Westchesterton and that's what made me wonder. And if you live miles away presumably your from CB somewhere. Probably some data breach this Russ?! Its quite a thing that lots of us post here regularly and have the same passion for the club yet I reckon not many actually know each other. I chat to people in the Habbin cos we recognise each other but thats it really. And we don't moan all the time!

I consider myself just a Cambridge boy. Histon via Cottenham, Petersfield, Abbey, some shithole in Peterborough, Romsey, Sawston, and some intermittent sofa-surfing in March.

I was born in Cambridge, raised in Hertfordshire and now reside in Yorkshire. Cambridge is one of a handful of places that will always feel like home.
The vast majority of people on here who I 'know' would only really be people I might nod and wave to at the Abbey. I'm not averse to going to matches on my own, and when I do go with others they are friends who do not support Cambridge. In fact, I went to Saturday's game on my own and turned off all alerts on my phone - I wanted to control my environment as much as possible, owing to the nerves! I did bump into a couple of people I used to go home and away with, and it was good to see them. I see lots of familiar faces, of course, and there are some I can't put names to, and I imagine some people might recognise me or my name, but have never put the two together. It's weird to think I've been in the same proximity with certain people dozens of times, and may have exchanged messages with them on here, but have never actually met them!

Been living in North Norfolk for the last 21 years but born in the old Mill Road Maternity Hospital. As long as it`s still an old people`s home I have the bizarre ambition to die in the same place I was born in!

Born and raised in Little Shelford, have come and gone a few times but somehow always gravitate back, having spent time living in Australia, Cambridge itself, just off Riverside & The Netherlands in between.

Born in Germany as an army baby, moved "back" to South Wales when I was 6 months old. Then moved to Cambridge when I was 4 because my dad got a caretaking job for CRC that came with a house. Started going up the Abbey with him from about 8, got hooked and went most weeks until we moved back to South Wales again just before I turned 11. Been here ever since, but barring a couple of teenage years when I was too cool to follow football, still always supported the U's. I don't think there are many U's fans with a CF postcode.

I was born there also - but I'm immortal, so no danger of the return journey!
