Things are currently looking good for Cambridge United, which is something that I don’t often get to say! Back on the road last week for a long trip up to Fleetwood, I left Brampton at 08:15 and we arrived around 13:30 and my first thought of Fleetwood was the repugnant smell that met my nostrils as we exited the bus, outside of the Fishermen Friend factory. Crossing a tram line to get to a stadium is a new one! As we walked to the ground we found it closed up and deserted. It turns out that the stand we had tickets for was closed so we had to walk round to the main entrance. Once inside I checked out the refreshments on offer. Madri was the only draught beer on offer and cost me £6.50! £6.50 in Fleetwood! The popcorn chicken was really nice though! Me and Dan had standing tickets but were told we could stand if we went to the far end of the stand. I’d heard Fleetwood were a really friendly club but that’s not the impression I got to be honest.

Hello and welcome to my review of 2025! I really hate to use the phrase rollercoaster of a year because that is almost always used as a negative phrase and obviously a rollercoaster that doesn’t have ups and downs is really boring, I would know. But unfortunately rollercoaster of a year is what I will have to use as I can’t think of anything better. 2024 felt like a more consistently positive year ( I even calculated an anion gap) with one major negative whereas 2025 has been more up and down. Let’s get into it. We start in January because that’s the first month of the year. The year started in a rather foggy (photo provided for evidence) Cologne with Aaron and Liz ( Full Cologne Blog ). See what I mean After enjoying a few slurps of Kolsch we headed to what’s probably my favourite place on Earth, Phantasialand ( Phantasialand Blog ). There’s nothing quite like riding Taron and Fly in sub zero temperatures and having a beer in between! What a coaster Aaron where’s you...
