Fascinating Facts About Cambridge

Cambridge is still just a small town in Histon apparently.

Syd Barrett - some time Pink Floyd muso, full time space cadet and the man responsible for titling of this very blog used to live there.

Bearded super-know it all Rory McGrath also lives in Cambridge.  However, he has not thus far, as far as we know, assisted with the titling of any Poppies fanzine.

We hear that there is some sort of famous centre for further education associated with the place.  Obviously this place is not attended by some of the webbed fingered Fens folks we have encountered during our annual collection of three points from the Abbey Stadium, unless the euphemistically titled course of "Rural Studies" is still on offer.  Can't imagine their colleges are a patch on Tresham College though.....

At the same time the Poppies were blowing a big Christmas lead in the Conference back in the early 90's, Cambridge United came within a whisker of getting into the PREMIER LEAGUE.  One can only imagine how bitter those memories are nowadays for their fans when the like of us, Tamworth, Eastbourne, or, heaven forbid, Hayes & Yeading turn them over!

The away end at the Abbey Stadium is very nice, but too bloody far from the pitch!
