Colchester Away

Post by Orient Punxx »

Having not received any tickets in the post for the Crawley game I’d thought I’d sort Colchester even earlier. Anyone know what’s happening? No tickets available and not a mention on the website.

Clearly easier to get a flight abroad and watch the streaming than using the Orient ticket site.

I usually send an Email to the boys and girls in the ticket office and they’re normally quick to reply.
Tickets@leytonorient.net I think .

Thanks - tried that for my Crawley missing ticket to no avail. Just would have thought somewhere there would be details about the great A12 derby that’s only 2 weeks away!! The old ticket system had its failings but blimey it’s hardly a step up with Ticketmaster.

Last season Colchester away tickets were purchased directly from Colchester United. Regards Orient, the Colchester Ticket website states:

Tickets for away fans are not available online at this time.

I suggest your wrath should be directed at Colchester rather than Orient. I suspect Orient will advise when Colchester make them available.

Yep I was mindful of that (although that was originally Covid related) but at least thought the Os would clarify that by now.

No.
And a train strike so possibly no train, or maybe one an hour, to the station.

If its the same service on the 20th as it was last Saturday 30/7, then from Stratford there is a slow train to Colchester at 8 mins past the hour and a fast train at 38 past the hour. Check trainline.com a bit nearer the time. I've had this problem coming to home games as I live in Wivenhoe.

Last time I went I asked the bloke at the train station what's the best directions to the football ground, he said just follow the crowd - I ended up at Colchester Zoo, well worth a visit !

Never know whether to bother with this fixture. The ground is about 15 mins from me but it’s such a dead and depressing ground and dunno if I can be arsed.

First game I’ll be able to get to due to family commitments, so I’ll definitely be there.

Leeds fans made the same mistake, but they did get to see Tony Yeboaconstrictor.
