Town will face Colchester United in a friendly at the Weston Homes Community Stadium on Tuesday 28th July (KO 7.45pm).

A visit to the North Essex club, who escaped relegation from League One on the final day of the season, has become a traditional pre-season fixture with the Blues winning last year’s game 3-0.

Town striker Freddie Sears is likely to be facing his old team-mates, while ex-Blues Tom Eastman and Byron Lawrence will probably be in the U’s ranks and manager Tony Humes is one of a number of ex-Town players and coaches on their staff.

BrettenhamBlue added 05:04 - May 29 A Quick Intro to Colchester - The City and the Club Colchester is a City in Essex. Colchester United Football Club is an English professional football club based in Colchester, Essex. The club compete in League One, the third tier of the English football league system (taken from Wikipedia). They have the likes of Tom Eastman and Byron Lawrence playing for them. How to Get There You go by plane, train, boat/train, boat/car or coach or helicopter. Wouldn't recommend the boat as it would take some time to get there (are there canals to Colchester?) Should be a good match.
