So we could have a (slightly depressing) local derby next season. |  |

It has a great Leisure pool though. Used to love going there as a kid. [Post edited 16 Jun 2020 21:11]

The Fox and Fiddler seems to be the para's pub (It certainly has all th regalia), but Colchester is nothing like it was in the 80s, when certain pubs were no-go areas if you didn't have a moustache (only squaddies had a moustache!). In those days, understandably perhaps, the idea of an Irish pub in the town was unthinkable, but now Colchester has the usual array. I remember the police were often in pairs - one in blue, the other being military police with the red cap band. |
….to L'Aristos because I wouldn't tell the bouncer my rank, number and battalion.
He didn't seem interested that I wasn't a squaddie. |  |

Last time at Layer Road I was lucky enough to get one of the 900 tickets available. At least this time we would get more. Perhaps col who could take 200 and give us the remaining 9800 seats lol. | | | |

When we lose 7-1 at home to Colchester on the opening day of the season we will do exactly what Delia did - Give Paul Lambert a 5 year contract. |  |

I'm not sure if there's a more one-sided derby about.
They despise us, truly despise us. Yet we're fully nonplussed about them. I used to go and watch them when I was a kid, and Towun were away.
In terms of club operation, they're the polar opposite to us, in that, er, they're run properly. |
I think you're over-egging the hatred bit.
Sure, there are a few anti-Ipswich chants from a relatively small number of die-hards at games. However, many people watch both Town and Col U. I'm a town season ticket holder, yet go to watch Col U several times a season. Whenever I'm there, I often see faces that I recognise from matches at Portman Road. | | | |

The only thing worse than a local Derby against Colchester is one against Kings Lynn the year after | | | |
