Colchester on Easter Monday

[Uncle Buck]

Probably meant to put this in the Away Travel area, however if people are planning to go to this one, new ground and all that, on public transport it looks interesting.

Seem to be replacement buses from London to somewhere on the line, then trains.

Anyone know the parking situation as its a fair bit out of town?

Ticket details have been announced for this:

There seems to be about 5 different tickets to buy so I guess we won't all be able to stand where we like as usual.

Looks pretty complicated on where to go in the ground
We should decide on an area for the singers to sit in on here before the game rather than getting to the ground and realising everybody is spread out then can't move as they are in a different area

why the f*** do they bother to split one stand into so many sections,definitly better paying on gate and all going in together methinks,quite steep prices aswell.

 

[Djmiles]

£24 for the middle of the stand? Ouch!

 

[GDC]

Will the replacement buses have toilets?

colchester have sent out a manifesto telling us where we can park, where we must not park and places that will incur death if we park there.

they have a club car park that you can park in for a fiver if you book it. or there is a shuttle bus from various spots - layer road and some business park that is free. but don't.park.on.the.road.near.the.ground. as the gestapo will get you. it is residents permit only. or something.

there is a free bus ticket attached to my match ticket as well.

Is it similar to the travel stub attached to the Leeds tickets a couple of years ago , which when we went to use them on the bus we got told by First bus inspectors they were not valid for away supporters ?

 

[Starry]

no idea. i have no intention of using it. i haven't had a printed ticket at leeds for about six years so no idea what travel stub you are talking about there either.

Individual match tickets had a travel stub attached to them which could be used to travel free on the bus which Leeds fans handed over to the bus driver , Albion fans couldn't use them even though we had paid the same price for our match tickets.

how odd, i never even knew such a thing existed. no idea why it would be home fans only, if that were the case surely they wouldn't have been included on the away end tickets. the bus driver sounds like an arse. our season tickets are those credit card, swipe card things so nothing about travel or buses on them.
