Colchester United, Colchester United Supporters' Association and 'First' Bus Services have joined together in partnership to ease your journey to the Weston Homes Community Stadium and to allow you to pick up your Shuttle Bus Service to and from the game.

- Whether you choose to walk or take the bus there, a Shuttle Bus Service from Bruff Close - costing just £1.50 for a return journey - will take you to and from the new stadium to watch all Colchester United matches in their new home.

- For a 3 o'clock kick-off the buses will run from 1pm to take you to the stadium where you can then relax and socialise, have a drink or bite to eat on the spacious concourses before the game and whilst waiting for your bus to return to Bruff Close after the game. The last bus is scheduled to go back to Bruff Close leaving the stadium at 6pm.

- For a 7.45pm kick-off the shuttle buses will run from 6pm at Bruff Close, with the last bus back to Bruff Close leaving the stadium at 10.15pm.

- For games with a different kick-off time, or with the possibility of extra time, revised shuttle bus times will be published well before the relevant game(s).

- For those fans who have been used to meeting and socialising with their friends in the area of Layer Road a £1.50 bus service will pick up at 1.30pm at the Ancient Briton pub, 1.40pm at the Drury Arms in Layer Road, at 1.45pm at the "Fat Cat" in Butt Road, at Head Street(Bus Stop P) and proceed to the stadium via Bruff Close.

HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST ME TO GET TO BRUFF CLOSE FROM WITHIN COLCHESTER?
By leaving the car at home you can get to Bruff Close and back for just £1.50.

- When you board the 'FIRST bus service', show your season/match ticket to the driver and simply hand over £1.50 which will entitle you to the Matchday Rover. If you do not have a season/match ticket you will not be able to buy a Matchday Rover so make sure you get your match ticket in advance of the game.

- With the cost of petrol close to £5 per gallon and No on-street parking in a very wide area surrounding the stadium, how much easier can it get to see your team play? So leave the car at home and take the Bus - all the way.
