Would be nice to think that most of those games will be midweek aways
and we can start playing the likes of SCumberland on a Saturday.

But of course we all know that wont happen.

Anyways love em or lathe them, well done to both the U's.

I can remember the midweek fixture a couple of seasons ago Dukey,
when me, Jonno (The young one) & 1978Greats came up on the coach.
when I got back to Portman road I had left my car with the window fully open and no one had touched it. I also arrived back at PR about 4.30AM
with a bad back (Just could not get comfortable on the coach) and had
to be at work in Kent at 7AM.. sh*t I was tired that day.

lol

problem is there will be two away games next season where it will be difficult for Town fans to get tickets for - cos Sarfend's and Col U's ground's are soooo small !! :roll:

Colchester were looking at playing home games at Portman Road, if promoted. I presume we would have heard something by now if this was gonna happen???
