JobServe Community Stadium is located at:
United Way
Colchester
CO4 5UP
Where will Newport fans be during the game?
Away supporters will be located in the northern side of the JobServe Stand.
How do I get to JobServe Community Stadium?
The following are the easiest ways to get to Colchester;
Car
The JobServe Community Stadium is around 210 miles from Rodney Parade. The drive would usually take around 4 hours, making it one of the longest of the season.
Train
The closest train station for the JobServe Community Stadium is the Colchester Station, which is on the mainline between London and Norwich.
It is a 45-minute minute walk from the station to the stadium via Mile End Road, Nayland Road and Boxted Road, or you could catch a Park and Ride bus (check the timetable before travelling), which will get you to within a 10 minute walk of the stadium.
Can I park near the stadium?
There are some parking options available at Colchester, but spaces are limited. The Us official site has this information:
Please note that there is only limited car parking at the stadium itself, with just under 700 spaces in the main stadium car park.
These are available on a match by match basis and can be pre-booked online at www.colutickets.com (including a Print At Home service) or via the Ticket Office by calling 01206 755161.
Parking in advance is £6 and, whilst some permits at this price may be available on the day, matchday parking is typically £7 per car.
Visiting supporters are able to pre-book a car parking permit, and early booking is advisable.
There is also a Park & Ride car park located at:
Cuckoo Farm Way,
Off A12 Junction28,
Colchester
CO4 5JA
Fans can use this, and it is around a 10-15 minute walk from the stadium. The Colchester site also recommends parking in the city centre and using one of the many car-parks available there. It advises:
If parking in a town centre car park, visiting fans can buy a ticket on the number 65 bus on Head Street, which drops off in Mill Road, which is a 10 minute walk to the stadium. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the town centre and visiting fans may find that getting to the ground in this way is an enjoyable one.
Fans should also note that there are strict parking restrictions in residential areas around the stadium.
How far is the train station to Colchester United?
Walking to the JobServe Community Stadium is possible, but it will take around 45 minutes. Instead, fans can either take a taxi from the stadium, which will take around 10 minutes, or they can turn right under the railway bridge and find the bus stop. This serves the numbers 2, 8, and 65, all of which will get you within walking distance of the stadium.
Where to eat and drink locally
The JobServe Community Stadium is not the best-located stadium for food and drink. The nearest pub to the ground is the Dog and Pheasant, which is around a 15-20 minute walk away.
Near there, you can find the Myland Fisheries chip shop, which is a popular spot for some pre-match fish and chips.
Of course, Colchester also provide food and drink in the away end for fans.
