| Colchester at home on a Friday night in the 80s 15:55 - Aug 27 with 2874 views | modelboydave |
I know that back in the day Colchester used to play at home on a Friday night. However, i have a vague memory of playing Colchester at home on a Friday night in the late 1980s.
The reason I remember this was that I got a free ticket. From memory the club came to my school, St Wilfrid’s and handed out free tickets. I remember standing behind the goal in the Pearl Street end, which was a rarity as normally away fans congregated here.
From memory we drew 1-1. I would guess the only other time we have played Colchester at home on a Friday night.

It might be mentioned in tonight's TVOS... Friday 16th December 1988.
We also played them at home on Friday 11th March 1966.
Meanwhile, Dale played at Layer Road EIGHT times on Friday nights. [Post edited 27 Aug 2021 16:51]

| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

I seem to remember it being a drab draw?
Went in the Dale Bar and the Colchester players came in and bought some crates of beer for the coach ride home! |  | | |

Yes 1988 would have been the game. I seem to remember the away fans were put in the old main stand.
Think I managed one of the away Colchester games. | |
