The U's trip to the seaside wasn't as fruitful as we were hoping as they come back with zero points, despite a decent display.

A long but eagerly anticipated trip to the North West coast awaits the U's, and the UTAS boys are as excited as anyone to join the Amber nation making the journey to the seaside. To preview Blackpool away, Jack Swindlehurst managed to infiltrate Monk's press conference to hear the team news first hand, and Jules chatted to his mate from work and tangerine expert Jack Fallon to play a game of pub landlord or PE teacher.

Six pointer? Eight pointer? Who knows, but it's a very, very important game. Jordan and Matt are on Preview Show duties this week to look ahead to a massive game at the bottom of League One for the U's against a Reading side that have got much more to worry about than just three points. To discuss the situation there, Jules also spoke to Matt from the Elm Park Royals podcast to get the lowdown on their dire state of affairs.To find out more about donating to the Reading FC cause, head to: https://twitter.com/SellBeforeWeDaiSubscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: hello@undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

On this week’s preview show, Jordan and Tom get together to look ahead to Garry Monk’s first sermon at the Abbey on Saturday against the Cobblers from Northampton, hoping to repeat what they did to us at their place after we were on the back of a drubbing at London Road.

New manager pod! Not many times you get to say that, and not many seasons you need to say it twice. So for the second and hopefully last time, the UTAS boys assemble to talk through the new man in the United dugout: Garry Monk. Tom, Matt and Jordan chat through their thoughts on what Monk can bring to United and what he needs to do to get to that magic number to keep the U's up this season - as well as touching on that defeat at Bolton on Saturday.

Another bumper preview show this week as Tom, Jules and Matt spend most of the hour trying to calm down from another piss poor performance from the U's on Tuesday night at Stevenage.

In the latest episode of UTAS Meets, Jordan sits down with former United manager Gary Brabin to chat through his time with the U's. It might have only been one season, but it was as eventful as any, with Brabin leading United to a second successive play-off final and agonisingly losing again to Torquay. As well as that, to mark February being Heart Month, they chat about Brabin's misdiagnosed heart condition, which ended his playing career.This episode is brought to you in partnership with the British Heart Foundation.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: hello@undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

It's derby day defeat for the U's, and it caps off one of the craziest, and arguably worst, weeks for United in living memory. A suitably demoralised panel of Tom, Jules and Caspell are on hand for an extra long pod to have a look at what went wrong against Posh, preview another big Boro game on Tuesday at Stevenage with the help of League One's most positive fan Matt, and chat about the new manager candidates.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: hello@undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

It's not been a quiet week at Cambridge United, that much we can all agree on. For this bumper preview show, we called in the reinforcements, and Tom Walker was raring to go, joining Jordan and Jules to reflect more on Neil Harris' departure as well as the small matter of that lot up the road's visit to the Abbey on Saturday. And a chat about Bolton on Tuesday, which feels like a lifetime ago, thrown in there too.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: hello@undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

Well, there's something to wake you up on a Wednesday morning. Neil Harris agrees to rejoin Millwall and become their manager, leaving the U's 77 days after taking charge. That called for an emergency pod, and Caspell and Jules obliged. But to be honest, you're getting their live reactions here, so it'll be just as confused and shocked as yours are.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: hello@undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

A long week of away trips for the U's, and that's one down, one loss, one to go. Jordan and Tom have the pleasure of looking at Tuesday's defeat at league leaders Pompey, and then the greater privilege of previewing Saturday's game at Carlisle, one that's gone from not that huge, to very huge. They are helped in doing so by Lee from the Brunton Bugle.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: hello@undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.

This week's edition of the Preview Show was supposed to be a bit of a bumper episode owing to an in depth review of Tuesday night's game at the Abbey against Bolton. As it turned out, the only thing that was in deep was the pitch after a certified biblical amount of rain left Ian Darler with too much to do. With that game off, Matt and Tom do their best to reach the half hour mark with a chat about abandoned games and a preview of Saturday's big game against Cheltenham with the help of Owen from The Robins Review.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our website content straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandhello@undertheabbeystand.com This is a public episode.
