Take the exit into London Road (signposted Mersea/Stanway)
Go over the mini-roundabout and travel one mile to a set of traffic lights
At the traffic lights, you need to be in the right hand lane (with MFI on the right)Turn right into Straight Road
Follow that road right to the end (you should see the Leather Bottle public house on your left)
At that roundabout, turn left and then take a sharp right into the right hand lane
Turn right into Gosbecks Road
Straight over the first roundabout and at the second roundabout turn left (Kent Blaxill factory on the left)
You are now in Layer Road. The ground is on the left, with the training ground half a mile before.
By Rail:
Trains leave London to Colchester via Liverpool Street and take around 50 minutes to get to Colchester station. There are two rail stations in Colchester, but visiting supporters are advised to get off at Colchester (North) rather than Colchester Town station.
The rail station is on the other side of town to the football ground and supporters are advised to either walk into the Town Centre and catch the bus or get a taxi to the ground (10 minutes and about a £5 fare.)
By Bus:
From the Town Centre, supporters will need to catch the number 64 bus, which comes directly along Layer Road.
Parking:
The club does not have its own parking facilities and there is no street parking on the part of Layer Road surrounding the stadium. Nearby streets have limited street parking, but supporters should allow time to walk back to the ground if they arrive after 1.45pm!
The Army does provide parking at the nearby Garrison/Cavalry Barracks - this is five minutes walk from Layer Road. Drive beyond the ground, bear right towards the town and then take the first right and first left onto Circular Road West.
Around The Ground:
Colchester United are delighted to have teamed up with The Maypole pub, which is now the Official Away Supporters Pub for the 2005/6 campaign.
Located on Berechurch Hall Road, less than five minutes drive from the Layer Road stadium, the pub is one suitable for families and large groups.
A full food menu is served every day from 12pm, with prices starting from £3.95 and it possesses a large car park and secure garden for its customers.
Run by Ali and Tina Voy, The Maypole has a pool table, darts board and Sky Sports on plasma screen for all of the action leading up to kick off.
With an extensive range of beers, wines and ales, the U's are happy to recommend this venue as a great place to go before the game.
Ali and Tina can be contacted ahead of a visit to Colchester United on 01206 578170.
