We parked in the park and ride as it was only £3.We got there 30 minutes before kickoff and getting the tickets was the priority.Getting to the ground coming from the Park and Ride is a joke. The away section is pretty good and is down one side of the ground. I did note that there was a McDonald's outlet across the road from the stadium.The Weston Homes is a typical new stadium really, a bit boring and very similar to our arch rivals, Chesterfield. Both sides were keen to have the ball and play football, although judging from the moon like atmosphere, Colchester are not on a great run at the moment.I'd never visited Colchester, let alone the football ground itself..Also I had some rare time off work, so decided to make a day of it.The journey itself was appalling. I would definitely go next year if we are still in the same league.I have never been to Colchester's new ground before so another I could mark off the list.There is a McDonalds quite close to the ground so went here - nothing mush else around so I would suggest stopping a couple of miles away to get something to eat.
The home fans seemed friendly enough. Stewards were very efficient and friendly. With 1,700 Millwall fans filling out the away end behind the goal the atmosphere was buzzing. Not a satisfactory day out by any means.
Key defender side-lined for rest of season. That's not something I usually get to experience form my seat much higher up in the home end at Fratton Park!As I mentioned above, we had a 25 minute walk back to where we'd parked, the only glitch then being that we had to retrace our steps in the car afterwards to get onto the A12, which took us back to the main roundabout outside the stadium. The away end was well populated and there appeared to be uninterrupted views from all sides.Colchester were worthy winners, 2-0. It is functional and well maintained but, like a lot of new builds, does lack a bit of originality and could do with a bit of thought in allowing the club to put their own mark on it. I never made it to Layer Road so I thought I would go to the Weston Homes Community Stadium with an open mind and booked a ticket for the visit of free-scoring Peterborough.I had looked into going to Colchester by train, but given that I’d have had to make a laborious journey via London and then get a shuttle bus to the ground I decided it might be better to go by car. You would think they would let us get off first with it being one road in and one road out but that wasn’t the case. The away stand including the concourse and toilets were modern and very clean even come the end of the game which was great.
Stadium stub This article about Colchester Community Stadium is a stub, an article too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject. I'd advise anybody to avoid Colchester altogether. I and a number of others received £35 penalty tickets for parking there during a recent game. The final stand is the largest in the stadium and is home to the directors’ box, the media area and a row of executive boxes. The pitch was in good shape for an early April match and the sun was shining, which set a good scene.
I like watching the game from behind a goal, but here you are in the East Stand at one side of the pitch, unless you bring a huge traveling support – 800 Bournemouth fans, was not considered big enough.As this game was on Sky and it was a Friday night there were barely 3,000 there and not much atmosphere from the home fans until they scored their late goal. The stewards were friendly and low key, the food outlet was popular and had varied choice.Getting away from the ground was easy as we decided at 88 minutes we were never going to score, it just wasn't our night. Downsides: £50 in fuel, £10 for breakfast, £30 for the senior tickets, £15 in the spoons, £35 parking fine, £7 to park at the ground and some loose change left over from £150 in the concourse at half time. if Colchester had a full ground week in, week out it could be a very intimidating place to come visit. The match programme was one of the best I have seen this season and well worth the £3.I had a pie and a cup of tea before the game in the away end and it was quite good value and tasty. Peter Clark an Ipswich Town fan adds; 'There is no facility to pay cash at the turnstiles, so you have to buy your tickets from the Ticket booth if you haven't already bought them in advance'.Mick Hubbard informs me; 'The ground is not in a great place. Fortunately, the weather was good. Colchester had the better of the late part of the first half and this continued into the second half however Argyle goalkeeper Luke McCormick was not seriously troubled. Open to both sets of supporters it usually opens at 12.15 for a 3.00pm kick-off, with relaxed stewarding allowing fans to take drinks outside in order to watch whatever pre-match entertainment is on offer – usually live music.With the club encouraging the use of the shuttle-bus on matchdays, those coming into Colchester railway station have the option of grabbing a drink at the either the Bricklayers or the Norfolk which are both pubs located less than five minutes from the railway track.If you choose to walk or are driving, the Dog & Pheasant is technically the nearest pub although it is still a mile or so away from the ground and reportedly only admits home fans.There really aren’t many food options when going to watch Colchester United play at home.
