Fair enough, thought it was longer ago than that. But even then, that's 11/12 years ago!

I wonder if it is even in a state to be used for the away fans now?

Don't know if this has already been posted elsewhere, but what genius decided to make it impossible to access the new club shop unless you're standing in the NRE?
I was in the Habbin on Saturday but decided to pop round to the club shop for my annual browse of the new merchandise. The old shop was closed with no explanation or notice in the windows. Quite a few more bemused looking supporters were hanging round, trying to get in.
I remembered from reading the chairman's recent message that a new shop had opened in the Corona area / old Thrifty car park. I tried to find it. Couldn't even see it, let alone access it, as it was seemingly on the other side of the NRE turnstiles.
The club must have lost hundreds of quid on Saturday as my experience clearly wasn't isolated. It just seems staggering to me that they could get this so wrong.

How on earth could you miss it? I’m staggered that you could get it so wrong.

Errr because I walked from the Habbin to the main NRE entrance where it used to be. Literally no signage. No route through. Never even considered walking round towards the main stand. Why would I? There were absolutely loads of people in the same boat.

There were absolutely loads of people in the same boat. You can see it from the entrance. Look to your left, its big enough and no further signage needed. CAMBRIDGE UNITED CLUB SHOP in big letters across the top should have given the game away.

Exit the Habbin stand and head towards Newmarket Road 2. At the gate turn right onto Newmarket Road 3. Walk past the entrance where the big neon sign is located 4. After about 10 paces look to your right where the Thrifty entrance was 5. You will see a building with CAMBRIDGE UNITED CLUB SHOP emblazoned on it

If only all of the communications about the new Club Shop mentioned it was on the old Thrifty site.
