Three familiar faces are back at the Abbey this week, as the club confirm the loan signing of Gassan Ahadme and the re-signings of Shayne Lavery and Shane McLoughlin. It’s a lot to get your head round, so Tom and Jules met up in an East London beer garden for a catch-up including transfer chat, pink kits and a magnificent 30th birthday present.All our weekly summer pods are going out as an early listen for Coconut Tier subscribers, and will be out for everyone else next week.

247 appearances in the amber and black over two spells, capped off with a promotion. This season was the perfect way to say goodbye to Michael Morrison, a man who will go down as a certified United legend. It was an honour to have him join the pod to chat about his career, from his debut over 20 years ago right through to that afternoon at Crewe.

The second part of our mammoth season review is here, where Jules, Jord, Jack and Tom braved a boiling hot studio to chat about every up and down of the campaign. It was far more ups than downs though, and Part Two takes us from December through to the promotion-winning end of the season, and includes the panel’s nominations for their awards for the season.Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:📚At least one feature article every week🎧Bonus podcast content every month👕First dibs on upcoming merch dropsAnd you can show off to your mates that you support UTAS and you’re not a round dodger: https://www.undertheabbeystand.com/subscribeWe’re delighted to be sponsored by The Old Spring this year, and they’re offering some amazing deals for United fans:* Matchday Meal Deal: Before every CUFC home or away game, it’s just £15 for a burger (chicken, beef, or veggie), fish & chips, or skepasti (chicken or halloumi) + any beer.* Saturday Happy Hour: Every Saturday, 18:00–19:00pm, half-price beers.* Ticket Holder Discount: 10% off your food and drink anytime, any day of the week, with a CUFC season ticket or a match ticket for an upcoming game (cannot be used alongside Matchday Meal Deal or Saturday Happy Hour).You can find it at The Old Spring, 1 Ferry Path, Cambridge CB4 1HB, theoldspring.co.uk.This Substack is reader-supported.

What a season that was. The numbers do all the talking, but how does a two hour review of every month of the campaign sound? That’s what UTAS are here for. Jord, Jules, Jack and Tom braved the heatwave for a long recording session in the Portland studio, looking back over the season month-by-month and handing out some awards. Part One takes us from pre-season to the end of November, just as our form starts to turn for the better.If you’re a Coconut Tier member and you want your extra podcasts delivered straight into your preferred app, just follow these instructions that the NTT20 boys put together and it should work for UTAS too:Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get:📚At least one feature article every week🎧Bonus podcast content every month👕First dibs on upcoming merch dropsAnd you can show off to your mates that you support UTAS and you’re not a round dodger: https://www.undertheabbeystand.com/subscribeWe’re delighted to be sponsored by The Old Spring this year, and they’re offering some amazing deals for United fans:* Matchday Meal Deal: Before every CUFC home or away game, it’s just £15 for a burger (chicken, beef, or veggie), fish & chips, or skepasti (chicken or halloumi) + any beer.* Saturday Happy Hour: Every Saturday, 18:00–19:00pm, half-price beers.* Ticket Holder Discount: 10% off your food and drink anytime, any day of the week, with a CUFC season ticket or a match ticket for an upcoming game (cannot be used alongside Matchday Meal Deal or Saturday Happy Hour).You can find it at The Old Spring, 1 Ferry Path, Cambridge CB4 1HB, theoldspring.co.uk.This Substack is reader-supported.

To hear more, visit www.undertheabbeystand.comWith a season back in the third tier on the horizon, UTAS got the chance to have a sit down with CEO Alex Tunbridge and Director of Football Mark Bonner to chat about what the League Two promotion looked like behind the scenes and how they’re preparing for the challenge of League One. For Coconut Tier members, there’s an extra 20 minutes of content wher…

It’s only a few sleeps ago we confirmed promotion back to League One at Crewe, but football never stops. Just as quickly, United have released the 25/26 retained list, saying goodbye to a host of faces who were crucial in securing our instant return to the third tier. Caspell, Jules and Swindle go over the list and talk about their favourite memories of our departing players, while also casting their eye over how the squad is starting to shape up for next season.

We did it. At the first time of asking, Cambridge United have been promoted back to League One. And we did it in the nerviest way possible, drawing 0-0 at Crewe and waiting for a few agonising minutes as Salford couldn’t find the winner at Crawley that would leapfrog us. Join Matt, Tom and Jules as they relive the whole day, from pre-match nerves, a world famous beer garden, to the missed penalty, a feeling that all hope had gone, and then that moment that it was all confirmed. What a day and what a season.There will be plenty of pods over the next month, especially for Coconut Tier members so just scroll down to sign up if you want access to the best promotion content around.

Well, this is it everyone. Do or die (well, do or play-offs, I guess, but that’s less catchy). We know the equation: win and we’re up. It really is as simple as that… but when is football ever that simple? Matt and Jules are the nervy duo on the Preview Show which this week is an actual Thursday show, and it’s a bumper record featuring some press conference shame, guest voice notes, and an opposition preview thanks to the Railwaymen Pod.

It was, thankfully, a comfortable afternoon on Saturday. A 3-0 win in the glorious April sunshine at the Abbey that sent Barrow to the foot of the 92, and kept our fate on final day in our own hands. A win at Crewe and we’re back in League One at the first time of asking, anything else and we’ll be looking at our phones as Salford and Notts County are hot on our heels. Jord, Caspell and Tom are on for what is hopefully the second to last review show of the season looking back at Saturday afternoon.
