Directions: This has been copied off the Official Cambridge City site.
The Glass World Stadium is situated to the east of the B1049, just over half a mile north of Junction 32 of the A14, and as such is easily accessed from all directions.
From the East: take the A14 and exit at Junction 32 turning right onto the B1049.

From the West: take the A428 which becomes the A14 (at Junction 31) and exit at Junction 32 turning left onto the B1049.

From the South: take the M11 and leave at Junction 14 to take the A14 Eastbound (Newmarket, Ipswich) leave the A14 at Junction 32 turning left onto the B1049.

From the North-West (Huntingdon): take the A14 and leave at Junction 32 turning left onto the B1049.

From the North (e.g. the Fens): The A10 from Ely joins the A14 at Junction 33 and then approach from the East. The B1049 runs South from Wilburton through Cottenham and on to Histon. The ground is on the left of this road half a mile south of the traffic lights by Histon Village Green, just before the bridge over the old railway.

After leaving the A14 at Jn 32 the B1049 goes north, with the Holiday Inn on the right and then climbs to go over the old railway line with trees on both sides. The Glass World Stadium is on the right hand side next to the recreation ground as the road descends the hill.

Where can I park?
Mainly street parking, and as usual, if you are parking in a residential area, please be mindful of the residents. There is a limited amount of public parking available at the ground, but it is on a first come first served basis (be aware that you may be charged for parking in the ground). If you have visited Histon FC before, you’ll know the benefit of car sharing.

Train:
Bedford to Cambridge takes nearly 3 hours and involves having to go into London. If you really want to take the train, you will need to get a bus for the last leg of your journey.

Other information? Well behaved dogs are allowed in the ground, and must be on a lead at all times. If your dog does a poo, you know the drill. Pick it up in a doggy bag (the poo, not the dog), and take it to the nearest dog bin or take home to dispose.

The Eagles and Cambridge City is no ordinary fixture, and there is a lot of passion that goes into the fixture. The last few years have favoured our hosts, and last season Cambridge won by an aggregate score of 9-2, winning 4-1 at the Eyrie on August Bank Holiday, and 5-1 on Boxing Day. Our last win against Cambridge City occurred in late February 2013 at the Eyrie, when a Will Green stunner in the fourth minute of injury time secured a 2-1 win for the Eagles.
The form book may favour Bedford, but recent meetings favour Cambridge City.
Whatever the score, you will be treated to a good match.
Enjoy yourself and rememberIt's a 1pm kick off.
