Tigers at Layer Road 21:11 - Sep 23 with 67505 viewsSparkfilmsTV

In a strange twist of events l found myself in conversation with a young lady who had attended Layer Road for a match against Hull City in our first season in The Championship. The 5-1 encounter.

We were attending a promo evening for a band called The Datsuns in North London in 2008.

During the evening she explained that she had been present at a party that made the national news due to the tragic death of someone by the name of Mark Blanco.

The incident occurred in December 2006.

This incident will be shown on Channel 4 on Monday night at 22.00 in an hour long documentary and several people known to me have made contributions.

It may be of interest to some.

I am very much hoping that the police will reinvestigate the death of Mark Blanco as a result of what will be included in the content.

I know that what l was told by this young lady 15 years ago has been instrumental in the making of this documentary.

I've only just heard about the terrible car accident in Magdalen Street early this morning in which four people were killed. The car hit what used to be Carter's second hand building and has caused huge damage. The vehicle was unrecognisable.

It must have been travelling at very high speed.


Just spoke to someone who lives nearby and was woken in the early hours by what appeared to be an explosion....sounds as though the deceased are possibly teenagers.

I can't recall a town ( city? ) centre motor accident on the scale of this in Colchester.

I've just come back from the scene of the accident in Magdalen Street.

Local and National media are there. To the Eastern elevation of the building there is a fenced off area where the demolished parts of the building are piled almost 10 feet high. This includes the original support beams, pipes, gutters, bricks and roof tiles.

The impact was on the North West elevation and it appears that another property back towards the town centre was also struck.

I have been working on some collage compositions utilising the tool kit and materials l purchased in auction here in Colchester that were part of Zacron's studio.

My intention initially was to sell on a lot of the work but as l delve further into Zacron"s mode of research and design l would like to produce some pieces 'In the manner of' or 'After Zacron'.

Some of his drawings that other bidders acquired have come up for sale online and the prices quoted are 100 times what was paid for some of the pieces at auction!

Back to the beginning of this thread that deals with the Mark Blanco case.

It's possible a film may be made about the life of Mark Blanco.

One of people who was present on the night Mark died is involved with this along with a former journalist of a national newspaper.

This might be of interest to music fans....as l understand it 'Only a Shadow' by Martin Newell of The Cleaners from Venus ( Wivenhoe based ) has hit in excess of 10 million listens on Spotify!

The song was written around 1982 so it took a while to grow on people.

Fully deserved Martin!

🙂🙂🙂🙂

Price tag on Swindon Town F.C. tonight is £12 million.

A bid of £6 million awaits.

Not sure what Colchester United may be valued at.
