How do I get to the ground?

The postcode for the ground is CO4 5UP. The stadium is located alongside the A12 at Junction 28.

Car parking information:

The ground has its own car park. Spaces (priced at £7.50) must be pre-booked here: https://tickets.colchesterunited.net/Tickets/Parking/Select/34738

The immediate area around the JobServe Community Stadium is under a Parking Exclusion Zone on matchdays. Colchester Park and Ride on Cuckoo Farm Way, off junction 28 of the A12 (CO4 5JA), is a five-minute walk away and also has parking.

Which stand are we in?

We will be housed in the north stand at one end of the ground – seating is unallocated. 

Public transport information:

The nearest train station is the Colchester North Station or you have Colchester Station. This is a good 40-minute walk away

Pubs for away fans:

The Dog & Pheasant on Nayland Road (CO4 5EG), which is about ¾ mile away from the stadium and also serves food. This is around a ten-minute walk away. There is a bar at the ground that away supporters are welcome to use. The away end will be serving alcohol as well as the usual food and drink items. The stadium is cashless in all areas.

Flag process:

Flags are allowed as long as they have the correct labelling.

Can I get a programme?

It would appear physical programmes are available.
