    I'll be there - it's the closest ground to my house.

    Hoping to have a box for it but so far unsuccessful

    on an industrial estate and apparently most places charge £5, plenty of parking by the sounds of it and right next to the A12

    Parking is not good actually - park and ride in operation from colch town centre which apparently is guff. There is parking at the ground which is prob best bet

    is that return from Liverpool Street?

    About an hour typically when I looked on tfl, I presume you don't book. You then get their special bus service to the ground

    According to tfl website, return trains at 10:03, 10:17, 10:29 and 23:03 - does anyone have any info on what the bus service is like back to station after game? Would like to know you can get a train before half-ten!

    Anyone know how many tickets we're getting for this? I have a feeling it could be quite popular.

    The shuttle takes you back and is 10 mins. Question is how long will it take to get on shuttle and for it to leave ?

    I have a feeling it won't be, when people realise the parking is not great and if you go by train you may struggle to get the last one home from London.

    Coach could be a good bet for once. Hassle free and only probably an hour from SE London/ North Kent.

    Might go to this, have work so would have to get the train which might be a bit difficult.

    Shame it isn't on a Saturday otherwise I would definitely be there.

    I'm going with a bloke from work (Colchester fan). Should be able to get the last train back out of Victoria but will be a late one considering how close Colchester is to London (trains from there back into town are pretty shit)

    I drove past there (A12) a couple of weeks ago on the way up to Suffolk. They were playing Leeds I think. Some people simply parked in a layby on the A12 and climbed up the grass verge!

    The ground is only a short distance from the pub we stopped at when CL went to Ipswich in 2007.

    Our 3 tickets have just been sorted and my boss agreed the day off weeks ago. Alas I wouldn't be able to get back from London in time for kickoff.

    Really looking forward to this one. Other than Southend its the most local game to me, typically another midweek one. I'm obviously not meant to get a nice lie in and plenty of kip before footie.
