For those going to Colchester by train.

Post by The Big Shot »

Since we last played them nearly three years ago, they've since stopped running the shuttle buses too and from Colchester station.

Its now either take a regular bus, taxi, or do the thirty minute walk to the ground.

Got a ticket but with us being sh*t, and either no parking or the sh*t journey from the station to the most soulless ground ive ever been in, i think i'll give it a miss.

The parking I've never thought is that bad myself, we used to park in the Rapids car park further up the road from the ground and A12 slip road.

Can’t you just rock up and park in the park and ride on the other side of the A12?

Should be fine then. Plus you’ll have priority over all the stadium traffic coming back onto the A12

There's a new housing development a little way from the ground, going back towards the town.
Loads of free-parking there, and you just need to walk across the park back to the ground - about ten minutes at most.

Anyone know if that will be there again and is it any good?
