Bet we can find some great pics of The Abbey. This is one I stumbled upon a while ago, hadn't seen it before but it's bloody beautiful:  |

It always makes me laugh how rubbish the NRE looks unless you are in it - what a ridiculous idea to build a 2/3 terrace! EDIT: Looks much better full, don't you think!  |

That aerial pic is top notch, and the one of the NRE is an excellent shot too (though I'm slightly biased on that one...!). Here are my contributions - the first I took myself after a game many years ago, and I'm not sure where I got the second from (possible the old message boards?) but I just think it's quite atmospheric.   |

Great pics Oli, and do I spot some clever post processing on the first one? |

I`m a bit crap at this uploading picture stuff so I`ll ask if one of you guys could kindly help out. I`ve a cracking framed and signed Abbey pic from 1990 called `A bit of a slog`, which I bought from thehomesoffootball a couple of years back while I was up in the lake district. The best I can do is this link www.homesoffootball.co.uk/collection/search/Cambridge%20united/1/324 but maybe someone could pull it up on to here. We`ve all got special memories associated with the U`s, but this is about as good as it gets for me. The pic will bring back good memories for anyone going at that time. The mud-bath of a pitch is incredible, remember how we mocked Histon Village for the state of theirs not that long ago? Also the fences at the allotments end? I remember getting covered in that red anti-vandal paint while climbing over them, the bloody stuff never came off. Nothing sinister about that though, it was the last game of the season and it was an `everyone on the pitch` celebratory job. I think it was the Swansea championship-winning game and home fans were allowed in the allotments end because of the bumper crowd. We were told we weren`t allowed on the pitch but lot`s of us climbed up on the fence ready to jump over at the final whistle, the stewards relented and opened the gates you see in the picture, people poured through and a few of us jumped over ruining our clothes in the process. Great days. Oh and Does anyone know who the guy painting the white lines is? Thanks in advance, Cam. |

Yeah, that sunset pic is ace.
You can see just enough to make out it's the Abbey but the rest is left to the imagination. Love it!
