Under The Abbey Stand

Under The Abbey Stand are delighted to bring you a brand new series, looking back on some of our favourite players ever to grace the Abbey turf in the amber and black. At the end of each episode, we decide whether they did enough during their time at United to gain entry into the hallowed UTAS Hall of Fame. Episode #1: Luke Berry. @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

We live in worrying times, but fear not, UTAS are here to bring you all the U's content you've ever needed. Throughout this lockdown, we'll be bringing you special quarantine content so we can reminisce on better and brighter times. We're starting with a throwback of one of the most special seasons in the club's history: 2013/14. Stay home and stay safe. Love, UTAS

These are unprecedented times we live in, and we are an unprecedented podcast. We're coming to you live from the lockdown to give you all the U's related content you require - and more. There's Orient, Bonner, and some pesky little virus that's had us all asking - what the hell am I supposed to do on a Saturday now?!

In the middle of the outbreak of a viral pandemic, UTAS decide now is the time to finally get back in the studio and spread their own brand of national fear and panic. Namely, just who is going to be taking the Cambridge United hotseat? The full UTAS squad also look back at the failed (and largely painful) Colin Calderwood regime, assess Mark Bonner's time as interim Head Coach, discuss why Tisdale won't bother commuting to East Anglia, and also some chat about goalkeepers and this insanely expensive stadium.  abbeystandpod@gmail.com @AbbeyStandPod

Happy new year, It’s a new decade, but UTAS returns with the same optimism about Cambridge United. On this pod we disect the disastrous festive period, we contemplate how a team who doesn’t get paid can still beat us, we discuss the January ins and outs, we answer all your questions and we work out how we are going to afford a 50 million pound new stadium. ... We actually had so much nonsense to spout that we split this into 2 parts - the pod and then the questions. Same as ever you can tweet or email us with any questions, comments or  abuse. Subscribe and review and all that too. We'll be back in a few weeks. www.undertheabbeystand.com @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

Life doesn't get more exciting than mid-table. Inconsistent U's, a midweek cup replay in Devon, and the best way to alienate students to the Abbey is with a 0-0 draw. Classic UTAS content.

We've never spoken about how bad Cambridge United's home form is. Never. So when high-flying Exeter City came to the Abbey, we had full confidence in a comfortable 4-0 victory. But is this drubbing just a plaster over the cracks? Are UTAS finally going to stop being so negative? And what is this xG thing? As usual, feel free to tweet or email us with any questions, comments or general abuse. Subscribe and review and all that too. We'll be back with another pod in a few weeks. www.undertheabbeystand.com @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

Cambridge United are back in business and inconsistency is the name of the game. From two fantastic away wins to another home slump, UTAS are here to dissect United's pitiful home form, a deserved or undeserved contract extension, and Reggie Lambe's advantages as a flying left wing-back (HINT: not a lot).  As usual, feel free to tweet or email us with any questions, comments or general abuse. We'll be back with another pod in a few weeks. www.undertheabbeystand.com @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

UTAS are back to bring you a thorough, comprehensive, and all round complimentary 2019/20 Season Preview. In the first episode of the season, we answer all the big questions: can Cambridge United finish in the top 20 this season? Can a strikerless formation work in League 2? And is Wes Hoolahan the second coming of Christ?  Issue 4 of the UTAS fanzine will be on sale at Newport (H). Feel free to tweet or email us with any questions, comments or general abuse. www.undertheabbeystand.com @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

As the season draws to a close, UTAS are here to spread more "joy", "laughter" and "happiness". Sort of... It's fair to say it's been a season to forget, and our second to last show of the 2018/19 season takes a look at the U's 3-0 defeat at the hands of Newport County, the season run-in, and the small matter of the published finances. Feel free to tweet or email us with any questions, comments or general abuse. www.undertheabbeystand.com @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

Down to three this week as Julian is away watching the egg chasing. We struggled on in his absence, covering the past four games and looking forward to the next month of action. WARNING: Expect heavy Nandos chat.  www.undertheabbeystand.com abbeystandpod@gmail.com @AbbeyStandPod

A year to the day since our debut, we're back for a belated first show of 2019. For once, the UTAS boys managed to be positive and not sit and moan for an hour - imagine! Most of this show was spent talking about defensive stability, imposing home form, Gary Deegan, and George Taft's titanic tackle (not like that…). Enjoy. Next show will be after Oldham (H) on the 9th of March. www.undertheabbeystand.com @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

We're back, but it's just a short one. It's just Julian and Tom this time having a look back at the massive three points at Notts County and look ahead to Northampton and beyond. Also, is Greg Taylor just Rory Macauley? As usual feel free to get in touch with any of your questions or abuse.  NB: Apologies for any rubbish sound, we were having some mic issues. First one to tell us gets banned for life. abbeystandpod@gmail.com @AbbeyStandPod www.undertheabbeystand.com

It's that time of year again - turkey, mistletoe, and more rubbish footie. To lighten up your Christmas, the master of quizzes Lewis Jones came in to UTAS HQ to put us to the test and see if we do actually know a single thing we're talking about (no need for the spoilers here...). Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and New Year, let's hope for some better results and less miserable podcasts come 2019.  Yours in amber,  UTAS x @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com

Merry Christmas UTAS faithful!  We're here to provide some much needed pre-Christmas gloom with a review of Joe Dunne's managerial reign and an attempted look forward at what might be to come under Colin Calderwood. It's fair to say it's not been the best of times for the U's recently, but we at UTAS massively appreciate everyone's support, even when skies are grey.  Up the U's.  @AbbeyStandPod www.undertheabbeystand.com

We're back! UTAS are here to add some more misery to your Monday morning, looking back at Guiseley, Oldham and Bury, and a look forward to Crewe, Tranmere and Yeovil. There's also talk of Paul Lewis, the fan's parliament, CFU, a ribena can in goal, Leon Davies, and a few awful gags.  @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com

UTAS were lucky enough to sit down with Graham Daniels, Director of Football, and Shaun Grady, Director of Business, to pose a set of questions regarding this summer's recruitment strategy and our financial shortfall that a lot of United fans feel have remained inadequately answered. There’s a lot of other topics we could have touched on but given a time constraint they remain uncommented on for now. Most importantly, the dialogue is open from fans to board, and we thank the club for their honesty and transparency in this interview and hopefully in the future. If you’d like to send any feedback or abuse, do get in touch via email or social media. @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com

The second part of our chat with ex-Soccer AM and king of the banter merchants Max Rushden is here. There's a lot of chat on Max's career, his wikipedia page, his love affair with Barry Glendenning, the LDV Vans final, Michael Gash and the first of three football jengas (expect the others soon). Get in touch with the pod with any questions or abuse: @AbbeyStandPod. Issue 2 of the fanzine is on the way, send us a message if you're interested in contributing in any way.  www.undertheabbeystand.com abbeystandpod@gmail.com

We didn't have time for a full show this week, so this is just a short update, with our thoughts on the capitulation at Colchester, Maris' saving grace against Mansfield, and announcing Graham Daniels' upcoming appearance on the UTAS pod.  If you have any questions for Danno or just fancy getting in touch with UTAS HQ, here's how: abbeystandpod@gmail.com Twitter + Instagram: @AbbeyStandPod
