    It was 1-0 mate.

    They battered us for 85 minutes, Hales got sent off then Dickenson crossed form the left, it hit a defender and trickled through the keepers legs. Don't think it even made the net.

    I remember the wooden stand falling apart and getting crushed when we scored. I was about 15.

    curb it when i was a chavvy i was going away,done most in the 80s,used to go on lonesome sometimes from ten onwards,bunked it to oxford once and caught a bunch of nettles right up my ass as i was wearing tennis shorts and seemed to have a allergy to em as my whole body including the chevvy went bright red.

    Would think it maybe easier for a lot of those going to go from Stratford.

    bear in mind that colchester station is an absolute mission from the ground (complicated 40min walk easy)
    and that the nearer station (colchester town) is only rarely served a couple of times per hour...
