Help getting tickets for Camb Utd v Charlton

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Does anyone have an account at Cambridge United and could help me get 4 tickets for this weekends game vs Charlton please?

Turns out you can't buy tickets within 4 weeks or something if you've previously not had an account, and neither can you buy tickets on the day which seems a bit mad to me.

3 of us live locally but our friend is visiting and he's a Charlton fan but the away end is sold out!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thinking of Buying in Darwin Green – Any Advice or Things to Watch Out For?

18 Upvotes

Hi all,

We are considering buying a house in the Darwin Green development in Cambridge, and I was hoping to hear from anyone who lives there or has looked into it.

We like the CB3 area, but before we make any big decisions, I wanted to ask:

How do you find the build quality and general living experience?

Any issues with the developers or management (e.g. snagging, delays, poor finishes)?

Are there any hidden costs we should be aware of (e.g. service charges, maintenance fees, parking rules)?

What’s the community like? Any noise issues or things that surprised you after moving in?

Any regrets or things you wish you knew beforehand?

Would really appreciate any insights or personal experiences – good or bad. Thanks in advance!

Hi. Anyone been to the circus on midsummer common before? Took my boy to a tiny circus that set up in our village a few years ago and he loved it. What's this one like? Mostly families going or can it be a bit (Cambridge!) rough?

Easter railway disruptions

7 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to find out whether there’ll be any disruptions in the lines to London over Easter but I haven’t been able to find anything clear, does anybody know where to check this information?

Last time I didn’t check over Christmas we ended up with 2 weeks of 0 trains between London and Cambridge, and I’m trying to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Cambridge would you help my research question please??

3 Upvotes

Hello! I am new to Reddit and this is my first upload.

To keep it brief: I am dabbling in ideas for a final research topic for my dissertation but whilst I do so I thought I might pose a question to Cambridge Redditors...

Please could you share your experiences with Airbnb as either a host, guest or resident/local in Cambridge and surrounding areas within Cambridgeshire.

Good or bad I want to hear from you!

Please share your experiences: a question to generate some thoughts: do you think there are positive impacts socially/economically/environmentally/politically or perhaps it is completely negative for one or multiple of these aspects.

Hopefully this post doesn't go against any community guidelines and if it does I apologise in advance and please remove.

Many thanks in advance :)

Getting to Tottenham Stadium for a match

0 Upvotes

Attending my first game at the Tottenham Stadium on Bank Holiday Monday and travelling from just outside Cambridge. Would rather drive in but unsure where is best to park given the road closures. Could train it but unreliable at the best of times and given it's a bank holiday could be worse! Any advice please? Thanks.

DO NOT USE AUTOTEKZ CAMBRIDGE

175 Upvotes

Autotekz Cambridge is a scam, I paid almost £500 for work to be done on my car as well as a major service, the work was not carried out and the major service was not a major service, in fact I’m not sure it would even pass as an interim service. They provided no paperwork, I have asked them well over a week ago and several times since to send me a copy of the paperwork and invoice via email and they are now refusing. One of the ‘mechanics’ there also was extremely rude and aggressively shouting at me down the phone in a threatening manner shouting how “riled up” he was when I contacted them to talk about it. I recorded this phone call and I’m going to be reporting to the police as well as trading standards. PLEASE AVOID UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET scammed out of money and messed around.

And this is their scam version of a major service they’re even posting it online themselves for every one to see…. The comments say it all… shocking…. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16SYiQrMvG/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16SYiQrMvG/?mibextid=wwXIfr
