Under The Abbey Stand

Down to three this week as Julian is away watching the egg chasing. We struggled on in his absence, covering the past four games and looking forward to the next month of action. WARNING: Expect heavy Nandos chat. www.undertheabbeystand.comabbeystandpod@gmail.com@AbbeyStandPod This is a public episode.

A year to the day since our debut, we're back for a belated first show of 2019. For once, the UTAS boys managed to be positive and not sit and moan for an hour - imagine! Most of this show was spent talking about defensive stability, imposing home form, Gary Deegan, and George Taft's titanic tackle (not like that…). Enjoy.Next show will be after Oldham (H) on the 9th of March.www.undertheabbeystand.com@AbbeyStandPodabbeystandpod@gmail.com This is a public episode.

We're back, but it's just a short one. It's just Julian and Tom this time having a look back at the massive three points at Notts County and look ahead to Northampton and beyond. Also, is Greg Taylor just Rory Macauley?As usual feel free to get in touch with any of your questions or abuse. NB: Apologies for any rubbish sound, we were having some mic issues.

It's that time of year again - turkey, mistletoe, and more rubbish footie. To lighten up your Christmas, the master of quizzes Lewis Jones came in to UTAS HQ to put us to the test and see if we do actually know a single thing we're talking about (no need for the spoilers here...).Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and New Year, let's hope for some better results and less miserable podcasts come 2019. Yours in amber, UTAS x@AbbeyStandPodabbeystandpod@gmail.comwww.undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

Merry Christmas UTAS faithful! We're here to provide some much needed pre-Christmas gloom with a review of Joe Dunne's managerial reign and an attempted look forward at what might be to come under Colin Calderwood.It's fair to say it's not been the best of times for the U's recently, but we at UTAS massively appreciate everyone's support, even when skies are grey. Up the U's. @AbbeyStandPodwww.undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

We're back!UTAS are here to add some more misery to your Monday morning, looking back at Guiseley, Oldham and Bury, and a look forward to Crewe, Tranmere and Yeovil.There's also talk of Paul Lewis, the fan's parliament, CFU, a ribena can in goal, Leon Davies, and a few awful gags. @AbbeyStandPodabbeystandpod@gmail.com This is a public episode.

UTAS were lucky enough to sit down with Graham Daniels, Director of Football, and Shaun Grady, Director of Business, to pose a set of questions regarding this summer's recruitment strategy and our financial shortfall that a lot of United fans feel have remained inadequately answered.There’s a lot of other topics we could have touched on but given a time constraint they remain uncommented on for now. Most importantly, the dialogue is open from fans to board, and we thank the club for their honesty and transparency in this interview and hopefully in the future.If you’d like to send any feedback or abuse, do get in touch via email or social media.@AbbeyStandPodabbeystandpod@gmail.comwww.undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

The second part of our chat with ex-Soccer AM and king of the banter merchants Max Rushden is here. There's a lot of chat on Max's career, his wikipedia page, his love affair with Barry Glendenning, the LDV Vans final, Michael Gash and the first of three football jengas (expect the others soon).Get in touch with the pod with any questions or abuse: @AbbeyStandPod.

If you like nostalgia, you'll like this…UTAS meets Cambridge United's third most famous fan to discuss his favourite goals, moments and players, all from the glory years of the past. There's a lot of Dean Barrick, Devon White, Dion Dublin, Lionel Perez, and even some Kevin Roberts. We also discuss the tree behind the Habbin, a bomb scare against Halifax, and Plato's Republic signed by Trevor Brooking. It's a unique listen.Part Two will be with you next week.www.undertheabbeystand.comabbeystandpod@gmail.comTwitter + Instagram: @AbbeyStandPod This is a public episode.

We didn't have time for a full show this week, so this is just a short update, with our thoughts on the capitulation at Colchester, Maris' saving grace against Mansfield, and announcing Graham Daniels' upcoming appearance on the UTAS pod. If you have any questions for Danno or just fancy getting in touch with UTAS HQ, here's how:abbeystandpod@gmail.comTwitter + Instagram: @AbbeyStandPod This is a public episode.

The UTAS chaps were joined by Jordan Worland for the second time this season to discuss a superb performance and result at Stevenage, followed by the exact opposite at home to Carlisle. We promise we tried our best to be positive, but sometimes in the life of a U's fan, it's just not that simple.We looked ahead to a tricky looking pair of fixtures in a trip to Colchester and test against Mansfield at The Abbey, took your questions, discussed the Checkatrade Trophy and iFollow streaming, analysed the performance of our very own Jack Swindlehurst in the half-time skip challenge and, of course, took on the dreaded Football Jenga.Twitter and Instagram: @AbbeyStandPodabbeystandpod@gmail.com This is a public episode.

Recording this episode right after the Cheltenham game might not have been the best idea… It's essentially four blokes in a room mouthing off about the bad state of their football team to a microphone.Discussions ranged from how blunt the U's are up front, the need for more attacking options, and that we should dip into the loan market for, well, probably a striker. And maybe a centre-back too? Just anything really. Remember to send in your Cambridge United bets of the week, and we'll tell you which one we're picking in the next show. £5 bet on UTAS, all proceeds going to the club trust if it's a winner. Bring us some bankers.Twitter + Instagram: @AbbeyStandPodabbeystandpod@gmail.com This is a public episode.

DISCLAIMER: We had some difficulty getting a studio space this week, so we improvised. Four mics and a mixer in Jordan Worland's bedroom, that's the dream ain't it? But as a result, some of the audio is low quality, there might be some intermittent popping sounds, and some slight crackling. They're all minor errors which we've learned from, and won't happen again - hopefully they don't spoil your listening experience too much.This week we talked about Ade Azeez and Jabo Ibehre, reviewed Port Vale, Notts County and Newport, and Tom Walker sets off on a rant about our recruitment policy. We also preview our trip to play the Cobblers and Exeter's visit to the Abbey, along with the return of football jenga.Warning: this is a very pessimistic podcast from start to finish.Twitter + Instagram: @AbbeyStandPodabbeystandpod@gmail.comwww.undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

We're back! But don't get too excited, it's still just three of us in a small, sweaty studio, and the usual mix of uninformed analysis and controversial opinions. Good, isn't it?For the first episode of the 2018/19 season we've attempted a season preview (which not all of us are particularly happy about), looked ahead at United's opening game against Port Vale and had a look back at an incredible summer of football. Head over to www.undertheabbeystand.com/shop to check out the fanzine - it looks amazing, even if we say so ourselves. If not, you can buy one by the wall on Newmarket Road before Notts County at home on the 11th of August.Merchandise is available at: https://www.sigmaembroidery.co.uk/product-category/clubs-and-groups/under-the-abbey-stand-utas This is a public episode.
