Ghost of Davie Ross 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Ye Gods - what is the matter with the people of Colchester? Nice new ground, chance of promotion but they just don''t want to know. I think the truth is Colchester just isn''t a football town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,135 Posted January 27, 2010 The truth is it has several much bigger clubs fairly close by. Only those who are dedicated enough to resist being a glory hunter are left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col Canary 0 Posted January 27, 2010 I went to Cuckoo Farm last night. Poor game. MK were dreadful and hardly created anything. Prutton looked good when he came on and scored a cracker from 25 yds in the top corner. Looks like he''ll be a good signing if he can last 90 mins. ColU were good for the 2-0 win and Lisbie even missed a pen. Although, credit to the MK keeper it was actually a very good save.One of the coldest matches I''ve ever been to as well - I was wrapped up like the Michelin Man but it still took me 15 mins to thaw out when I got in the pub.Predictably, the 2-1 result for City got a big groan from the ColU fans. Excellent stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hog 0 Posted January 27, 2010 [:$] I was born in Colchester, and so until recently always had a soft spot for Col Utd. Never supported them though as I moved to Norfolk as a kid and was introduced to proper football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wembley_Canary 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Yes it''s a very poor attendance and and it just goes to show how small their fanbase is, clearly the vast majority of people in essex couldn''t give a stuff about Colchester and would rather support the likes of West Ham, Arsenal and Spurs like a bunch of gloryhunters. But yets give credit to the very few genuine Col U fans out there who do go to games, they are a credit to football for sticking with their local despite it being such a tin pot club.

Longy 1 Posted January 27, 2010 I find it funny just cos it rubs it in Cowlings face. I have nothing against the ColU supporters and in a lot of ways they have done very well to maintain a promotion push, where the teams round them must have so much bigger budgets. Oh and yes gl on Saturday, a nice hard fought 1-0 win on a heavy pitch would be just the ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambert is King 0 Posted January 27, 2010 I thought that Pete, awfully strange that first game we had sold 2200 and must have been allocated same seats as last night.
