About Cambridge Rules
What began as a simple set of rules for a game of football played on a patch of ground in Cambridge, has grown into a worldwide phenomena embraced by diverse cultures around the world.
Written in Stone
One large stone cut into nine, engraved with the laws of the game in different languages. Four stones stay on Parker’s Piece, the others travel to five countries across the planet in a cultural exchange.
Interpreted Worldwide
For centuries, Parker's Piece has been used for sport, recreation and public events. But where do you play football? Share your stories, photographs and film about the beautiful game wherever it is played.
Brought Back to Cambridge
In 2018, football stories, images and sounds gathered from around the world will be displayed on Parker’s Piece as Cambridge’s stone marker is unveiled - celebrating the city’s role in the story of football.

I'm a long standing Brighon & Hove Albion fan, I endured the debacle when the previous chairman sold our ground in 1997 with no intention of replacing it. Watched my team playing 'home' games 70 miles away at Gillingham, and… Read More

My view for the last 29 years! from the Popular Side Terrace at Twerton Park, home of Bath City F.C. A grand old lady, a bit tired but still a lady!

The King Power Stadium is the home ground for Leicester City, my favourite team, but I've mainly attended away matches for the last couple of seasons as I prefer the atmosphere. This season (15-16) has included watching the Foxes win… Read More
