Best wishes to Col U

[GBJ]

Myself and a fellow Shrimper had to go north of the county today, so took some time to wish our neighbours up the road some good luck.

Childish? Sure. Necessary? Absolutely

I boo every time I drive past

 

[Ramsdenblue]

When i drive past the Col ****e ground on the A12, i close my eyes for about 1/4 mile.

Always give that lot the two fingers every time I drive up the A12

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

I always flip the dog every time I drive past and my mate who is not a Shrimper does the same now lol.

 

[Leeboy]

whenever we went to Colchester Zoo when the kids were little I taught them to boo at the first Colchester road sign they saw.

in a similar vein they still always shout MARTIN OUT out of the window when we go past ratty towers.

Chips off the old block

I think a car meet should happen within their car park. People can practice some donuts in their cars and have a wheel spin competition.

Same here on my trips between Ipswich and S-O-S past that absolutely soulless looking pile of breeze blocks.

Yep, got the kids in on the act - Mrs JD hates it and thinks it very immature!

How dare she call you immature, don't let her play with your Teddy Bear anymore.

To be fair I have always liked those little shopping lanes in Colchester. When I owned the Albany club spieler in Queens Road, Southend, I used to travel up to get my kalooki, Rummy and Poker playing cards and chips, etc, from the Board Games Shop, Colchester. But.....I used to wear a bobble hat with SUFC or Southend United on the front, or back in the late 80s my Southend United football shirt, just to wind a few up.

I would rather that pile of breeze blocks than the sub standard not fit for purpose gulag that is Roots Hall at present.

Haha - I drove past his house the other night and wound the window down and shouted out. Made me feel good

I call bull****. That photo wasn't taken today. It's obvious from the number of cars in the car park that it's a match day (during game time).

When ever I drive past (I have family in Dovercort) Col U stadium I look at them and think why can’t we have a decent stadium

Every time I drive past it, I think why can't THEY have a decent stadium!

The thing about the Community Stadium, is that it's soulless inside. There's something not right about it. Roots Hall may be old and run down, but it has plenty of heart, soul and character.

Agreed. The only time there is an atmosphere is when we fill the away end .
