WaldenCanary 0 Posted January 12, 2010 To those that have tickets for the Col U sections be prepared to answer some tricky questions at the turnstiles. I''ve seen this before, questions such as,Who was Colchesters top scorer last seasonWhat a certain players nickname is/wasName one or 2 areas of Colchester town or housing estate namesWhat were the names of the stands at the old Layer Road groundHaveCol U ever won any silverware :-)etc etc etcThese are my guess at what type of questions they''ll be asking although I may be wide of the mark. I think it''ll be tough getting in but good luck, and behave! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 12, 2010 The answer is :- "Dunno, I''m just here with my mate, he''s more of a fan than I am, I''m here because of all the hype. I hate them Canaries, by the way" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted January 12, 2010 Who was Colchesters top scorer last season - Not sure as I''ve been serving overseas for a few years - eh was it Jamie Cureton ?What a certain players nickname is/was - Well he always been known as twinkle toes to the rest of the squad !Name one or 2 areas of Colchester town or housing estate names - eh ? I''m an exile, and live in Swindon, do you want an area of Swindon?What were the names of the stands at the old Layer Road ground - (having been there on an away trip) barside, main stand, Layer Road end and I think Clock end !HaveCol U ever won any silverware :-) Not whilst I''ve been watching ''em !AND THAT''S OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD !

Barclay_Boy 0 Posted January 12, 2010 here''s a few tips if asked, ie where you could claim to be living - villages/towns surrounding Colchester are Thorrington/Arlesford/Wivenhoe/Brightlingsea/Langham/Dedham Or closer in, Colchester has a Greenstead Rd,Bergholt Rd, Artillery St. If asked who the top scorer was last season you could be a bit flash and hit ''em with a bit of more ancient stuff - scorers in the win against Leeds in 1971 were Crawford (2) and Simmonds. They may say everyone knows that, in which case tell them Col U beat Rochdale 5 - 0 in the previous round, after a 3 -3 draw in the original tie at Rochdale. If they''re still not convinced remind them that Col U were 3 - 1 down with 5 mins to go in that game. Then get real flash by dropping names like Bobby Svark, Steve Cram, Brian Gilchrist, into the conversation, you could add Mike Walker or Steve Foley but that could be a bit risky due to the City connection. You could quote ex Manager''s names like Jim Smith or George Burley (don''t break into the "Daydream Believer" though or you will surely be sussed out)Finally if the Essex Interrogation squad are still not convinced then tell ''em Col U are famous for winning the Watney Cup, beating West Brom 4 -3 on pens after a 4 - 4 draw in the game itself. If all that fails give up.I will additionally have on my person utlity bills with a CO postcode and my birth certificate with place of birth being.....[:D]Quietly confident of getting in to see the game!

Joanna Grey 0 Posted January 12, 2010 Just get down to the joke shop and get a fake tongue (with drool) to hang out the side of your mouth, some brown sauce up the back of your jeans, tea down the front of them and you''ll pass for a Colchester fan. Bonus is you don''t have to talk just grunt and groan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
