If you keep flirting with relegation then eventually you fall through the trap door (unless your name is Everton)

Would be weird for a big county like Essex to have no football league sides.

Strange one, as i've seen them in a few of their games and they have been quite impressive.

They're slowly turning into the Everton of League 2, been flirting with relegation the last few seasons but always find a way to pull out.

I wonder if they'll escape this time or has the trap door finally opened?

North Essex was always a strong-ish strongold for Town, particularly Clacton/Harwich, Braintree/Witham. Competition is certainly sparser now for younger fans in that region.

West Ham certainly would account for a few but we will certainly be an appealing prospect to draw more support. In the other direction, we could do with clawing some of our Waveney territory back.

You could argue that we've lost a lot in deepest Suffolk too. I can recall being on the platform at Stowmarket and seeing plenty of yellow and green on their way to a game. That truly sickened me for a few hours.

It's so upsetting, I see a lot more big 6 and YS tops than Towen tops in recent years, probably due to how long it's been since we last were in the top flight

Looking at their line up all the ex ipswich players are no longer playing?

I cant get over all the years ipswich fans used to cheer their half time scores if they were winning, only to get pelters from them when they turned up not playing us for half a century, acting like norwich.

A fair few Town would go down and watch them. They used to play a lot of Friday nights when we were at home, in the way Tranmere did because one of the big Mersey clubs would be at home on the Sat.

I don't think that was the reason. I used to watch both clubs regularly, and it wasn't usually on the same weekend.

A very sad day for the club today, in my opinion. Garner just couldn't get discipline from some decent players, and suspensions have come thick and fast, to very noticeable detrimental effect. I fear Neil Harris might be appointed, and that won't be much fun.

It's lovely isn't it. Like the thread suggests I used to go and watch them in the 90s and generally hope they win. But for the last 15 years I've enjoyed whenever they lose. Their pikey little scrotes who give it at Ipswich Station but not come into town have a lot to do with that. Then there's the sad, bitter twisted older Col Who that were too dim to respect George Burley for wanting to join the only club he loved.

In order to save this thread, the OP is referring to Colchester's league cup first round win at Portman Road a couple of years ago, where I'm guessing the Col U fans celebrated as if they had won the whole thing.

Edit. I actually think that tie was last year.

Yes, It seems a long time ago, but it's actually only 15 months or so. Things have certainly moved on apace.

Young Colchester supporters are coming to Portman Road to back whoever is playing against us, they sing anti Ipswich songs at us at both Colchester and Ipswich stations.

I’m from Essex and I’d say it’s probably the second biggest patch for Ipswich supporters in terms of numbers, even going to the games, Colchester station is rammed with Ipswich supporters and as others pointed out above chunks of northern Suffolk have defected.

We certainly had some strong supporter club branches in Essex. Would always see coaches from Witham, Harwich, Kelevedon etc when I did regular away days in the 80s/90s.

I always thought that too...I think Crewe or Port Vale used to also do a similar thing when Stoke were playing.

"The Football League, despite the protests of the pools companies, re-introduced permission to play Friday night football.

Colchester arranged ten games for Friday kick offs"



Found that on their official site,also appears they considered ground sharing with us at one point.
