Colchester away 9/10-1-16
There are numerous trains both outward and inward starting at £9 single, this is before any railcard discounts.
There is a pub called the Bricklayers five minutes from Colchester station, whilst this is likely to be crowded, the pub is very handy as this is where the shuttle buses run from.
My advice would be to leave with ample time to get to the ground as there is only one road in and out so traffic is likely to be quite slow.
Allowing for our appalling cup record, please note that we are due to be away to Rotherham on 4th round day.

Last time we were there was a warm summer evening when BWP notched a couple. Found that if driving best off parking a mile away and walking in otherwise you sit in traffic... And sit in traffic... And sit in traffic...

Cheers. Despite all the doom and gloom I will go to this. Didn't go in our league one years. Hope tickets are sensibly priced. Do you know if the shuttle is free?0

Shuttle has been decommissioned mate, I think there were some general safety fears, maybe to do with those heat resistant tilesChiAddick said:Cheers. Despite all the doom and gloom I will go to this.

Anyone know if there will be a Valley Away/Express service from Hastings?1

Reckon I might be up for this. Not seen us play Colchester since a pre-season friendly. I think it was 2-2, Hermanator scored, and Dennis rommedahl played. I thought he was going to be great.0

Awful away day, typical modern ground, probably go having said that.0
-
terrible draw, terrible soulless ground with a shite pitch but right next to the A12 where there is a new junction right beside it.
due to their awful home crowds this could see us given 2 sides of the ground as they've been known to move fans from down one side to accommodate large away followings, so potentially 2k+ tkts I reckon....anyone who wants to see this one should be able to get in
Who will Harriott play for?0 -
not a bad draw for me being 45 minutes up the road but the way things are at the moment I am not sure I will even bother.0
-
Nothing surprises me with some of our fans. As soon as the draw was made on social media sites comments such as " crap draw" "Colchester zzz" totally embarrassing. Maybe they would have preferred Middlesboro away.
Personally great day out...take the youngsters and maybe get the glamour teams in the next couple of rounds.8 -
Not too far, chance to progress. Good draw.2

Wonder why Charlton don't start trying this... The Sainsburys / Comet has now gone from the area leaving a huge car park for just B&Q so could easily have the Park & Ride running from there for starters maybe?ElfsborgAddick said:http://www.cu-fc.com/news/article/travel-shuttle-bus-224084.aspx
Should have done this earlier!1 -
having seen their crowds they can't need too many buses0
-
Not too far away, worth going to.0
