Currently living in Colchester for the next couple of months. Would be silly for me to not get involved


I 'lived' there for 24 days once and it wasn't at all pleasant.  Never even got chance to go to a match.  (The clue's in my user name)  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Don't they do trips from the MCTC to Colchester United?

Funnily enough that wasn't one of the excursions on offer.   Mind you, send the fukkers to BP for a couple of games, that'll learn em.

its really amazing how the odd few who dont  go to games anyway, jump on the band wagon of  true supporters who go normally to games  but at the moment are  not going under protest.  They  have got a new excuse for none attendance rather than im always working, Saturdays and Tuesday evenings???   Go to the game then make a comment or         Rant over.

I've followed Town for well over 40 years now, traveled the length and breadth of the country and seen us play at over 160 grounds but I'm not going tomorrow as I just cannot see us getting anything there and the type of football we're playing at the minute is bloody awful.

I really do hope I'm proved wrong and we do get the 3 points, but my Saturday afternoon will be spent on the urine in Sheffield.

Also, in all those 40 odd years, I don't think I've ever been more disillusioned than I feel now.

(I'll still have scoreflashes on my phone though, hoping against hope)

I think the number of exiles who have said they aren’t going should be a genuine worry for fenty . Ok it doesn’t dent towns income as away fans but exiles who don’t get to see town regularly should be desperate to be there . But we’re not . And that’s down to the state the clubs in . It’s ok saying you should support the team whatever but it doesn’t work like that if fans can see and feel they’re being mugged off . We’ve been there , seen it , done it and you can’t take the urine

Indeed. For anyone, whether homebased or exiled, if you've got any life outside football it's always going to present competing tensions with time and money. The ruling hierarchy have made it too easy to take the alternative.

If that means we're not 'good enough fans' then that's the club's problem.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
