Cambridge United Football Club (also known as The U's and amongst some fans The Plate) is a professional football club from Cambridge, England. They are currently playing in the Conference National (2007-08 season), where they have competed since 2005 following their relegation from the Football League after 35 years.
Cambridge United, often referred to in footballing circles as simply Cambridge, ignoring their smaller neighbours Cambridge City, have been one of the more successful smaller clubs in English football, having had two spells in the league's second tier and reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup twice and Football League Cup once. The club has close links with Cambridge Regional College F.C., a team formed in 2006 to effectively compete as United's reserve team to avoid FA rules which prohibit reserve teams playing at certain levels of the football pyramid.
The club is based at the Abbey Stadium on Newmarket Road, Cambridge, which currently has a capacity of 9,617 made up of terracing and seated areas. Although the club has traditionally worn amber and black at home, it has experimented with a number of designs of shirts including plain amber with black trim, amber and black squares and, presently, striped shirts.
