Congratulations to Colchester

Rovers do the higher price on the day thing. Not in favour for the reasons others have stated, but presume that it makes us more money on ticket sales than paying the same price on the gate

I think it's so we can make a reasonable estimate of the attendance so we can prepare adequately with the police and stewards, so we're not either wasting money or being caught out by an unexpectedly large home/away attendance. I agree it's a pain for the fan, but ours makes some sense. Colchester's is a joke though.

Parked at Rapid Electronics, off Severalls Lane, for £2. Pay on entry to some chap in a fluorescent coat!

10 minute walk to the stadium. No problems at all.

Certainly better than some grounds I've been too (including SIncil Bank)

I believe all of their proceeds go to charity, too.

Thanks for the response. I would have thought they would want to encourage people using public transport, isn't it something like £6 to park there? Maybe that's a nice little earner for the club that they don't want to let go.
I'll look at getting one of those buses when I go there, just hope we turn up this time and not succumb to our usual whimpering defeat!

Just to follow up on this, apparently it turns out you can pay for the P&R bus if you aren't driving/parking there. So you should be able to pick the bus up from the station which would then take you to the P&R car park a 5-10 minute walk from the ground on the A12 junction.
