Thread | Another Open day.
at 10:00 20 Jul 2024
The usual PR day for the club, trying to rally some support from young and old alike.
Also release of another new kit, they become synonymous with a particular time , so recent ones give not to pleasant memories. Let’s hope the new one will be remembered for a more positive and successful next couple of seasons .
Strange apart from one match kit the other season, the fans never seem to be consulted for their preferences, or am I wrong ?
Anyway any preferences anyone ? |

Thread | No Pitches .
at 08:59 19 Jun 2024
FOOTBALL pitches are decreasing across the region, sparking concerns among those who love the sport in Colchester.
Think we can all list pitches across the borough which have disappeared over the years, from the pitch in the centre of town at Lower Castle park to numerous others.
Not only the generated cash but local social activity when you consider the Colchester Sunday league was made up of local firms, some with reserve teams. It was a fathers and sons journey for some and fellow workers and friends for others. All part of Colchester’s history . [Post edited 19 Jun 9:00]

Thread | Pay the Penalty.
at 13:15 16 Apr 2024
Let’s hope the U’s do not pay the penalty of another miss from the spot . Incredible scenes at Stamford Bridge last night, of players squabbling over the taking of a penalty.
Wonder if the U’s players will be so keen considering are recent record from the penalty spot ? |

A incident occurred during the last game where a pensioner fell down the last ten steps in the stadium.
BBC Essex had an item regarding this 11/4/24, 11-24 am, where the following advice was forthcoming.
The procedures should be - to report the accident to the club stewart while still on the premises, ( take names, get witnesses and photos ) and also report to Essex County Council who are responsible for issuing the safety certificate. |

Thread | Pitch Hire .
at 09:51 1 Apr 2024
Pitch is available for hire at the end of the current season for £750.
But if you want to play on the the original pitch it is an extra £250 . Disgraceful. |

Thread | Larry Lloyd
at 15:32 28 Mar 2024
Former Nottingham Forest and Liverpool defender Larry Lloyd has died aged 75.
Remember him being player/ manager of newly promoted Wigan’s first visit to Layer Rd in the 80’s. Beat us by the odd goal in an evening fixture with much verbals flying around, especially a notable one for a ex Div One pro. At the final whistle turned around and give the Spion Kop end some back together with some Agincourt signs.
RIP . |

While you loiter in WH Smith, probably in the Post Office queues, grab the latest edition of WSC football magazine March 2024. Page 39 should grab your attention regards arrested players, with an article on Mel Blyth’s game for Millwall at Layer Rd which made national headlines. |
