Title: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Sippo on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 08:46:12 Think it will be a good following for our first away game of the season.
Is it 'trainable'? If not what's it like for parking?

If not what's it like for parking? One of the most easiest of grounds to park, more spaces than cars. A distance from the station but still OK. Destest the soulless shit hole. No cash policy and you book tickets on their club portal.

Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Riddick on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 12:12:51 Went to Layer Road on a Friday evening which was fun Tommy Mooney 1-0. I was there. Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 13:42:08 Went to Layer Road on a Friday evening which was fun I went on on Friday in the seventies had the coach window smashed leaving the ground Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: ChalkyWhiteIsGod on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 13:51:18 shittest away game on the calendar.
Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 13:52:21 shittest away game on the calendar. At least it's done and dusted early. I've been twice to that place, I almost certainly won't bother again. Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 14:06:25 shittest away game on the calendar. I assume you haven't been to Barrow, and that's from someone who is only about 20 miles away from there! :D Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: ChalkyWhiteIsGod on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 14:11:11 I haven't actually. Might have to make the effort just to decide once and for all.
Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 14:18:37 I haven't actually. Might have to make the effort just to decide once and for all. I wouldn't bother, I've been to a fair few non league grounds over the years and this was probably up there with the worst, the weather didn't help albeit even in lovely sun I wouldn't have been able to see the goal at our end and would have still be unnecessarily intimate with my neighbouring supporter! Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Berniman on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 14:40:29 The only time I went to Colchester was Layer road, Michael Reddy 1-0 win on a Tuesday night
Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Mooneyraker on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 14:45:58 Michael Reddy... memories. Good player!
Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Private Fraser on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 15:27:37 Went to Colchester last season. Lots of building going on next to the (soulless) stadium. I would imagine it’s going to be more like the Northampton situation than the concrete wilderness it has been up until now.
Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Riddick on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 15:29:01 Last time i went there was in the Garner season. Didn't we throw away a 1-0 lead against 9 men? Good times.

Tried to get me to promise yesterday that we would go there wherever it was.
I've looked it up now. 437 miles each way. That's a no.

Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: fuzzy on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 16:11:12 Colchester is deceptively miles away from anywhere! An carbunkle on the posterior of humanity. Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 16:24:19 Colchester is deceptively miles away from anywhere! Likewise Barrow, thankfully. Title: Re: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 17:44:48 Likewise Barrow, thankfully. Often referred to as being at the end on britain's longest cul-de-sac, the a590.Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 18:41:17 It's so true. Right up there (almost) with Penzance & Campbeltown.
Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: TheDukeOfBanbury on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 19:35:29 Went to Layer Road on a Friday evening which was fun Mooney scored. Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: TheDukeOfBanbury on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 19:36:56 I assume you haven't been to Barrow, and that's from someone who is only about 20 miles away from there! :D Better than Colchester. Has character, Colchester is absolutely shite from all angles. Almost up there with FGR. Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: Abrahammer on Friday, June 23, 2023, 07:59:48 Agreed
Colchester's has absolutely no redeeming features at all. When the term "Souless" is used for football grounds their stadium is the benchmark, give me a ground like Barrow, Harrogate any day instead Title: Re: Colchester Away 23/24 Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, June 23, 2023, 10:38:00 Ive been many times but usually midweek.
Did a train trip once and did park and ride from town centre, nightmare getting a bus back. Loads of parking. We always lose there....... |
