Northampton and Colchester

[swindonmaniac]

Just bought a parking ticket for the ground they only allow 700 spaces. Unsure if that is 700 casual or including those with season permits.

With average gates of less than 4,000 I don’t think you would have a problem parking.

Dog & Pheasant is the closest to walk to.
They used to let you have a drink in the rugby club which was very close, but now built over.
The new club is just over the dual carriageway, so may be worth a try ? Don't know when they open though, or if they allow non members in the bar

Last time I went they opened up the bar in the Colchester stand before the game, and let you access it from outside - away fans welcome

My inlaws are CU fans, and they always avoid the carpark as it takes ages tom get out.

I forgot - the park and ride over the dual carriageway is the best place to park, and you get away easily afterwards.

Then you can try the Rugby club before you walk over !
