I am reliably informed by a CUFC ST holder colleague that the odd extra bit of pitch was a result in the development of the stand that away supporters sit in, during development extra space was added for stand and pitch. The thinking was to move the bounds of the pitch up close to the away stand, thus leaving room from r development of the opposite end stand at the front, as development at the back of this stand was a no go due the encroachment on Newmarket Road.
And having a long conversation with a lovely CUFC couple that they or rather the owner sold the ground when the got relegated to the National League for £1.9m and have a low rental agreement (at the moment) which they seemed happy about… The woman asked me about Pee Lower, I tried to keep it to bullet points but it was difficult especially when you add in the might Roar, Curran, Standing, Barry etc, etc. She did mention Powers tenure there and I replied you’re lucky to still have a team to support. So all in all they thought we’d more than made a fist of the game considering. We parted wishing each other well for the season.
