Colchester United

All of the information you need about your local team.

Likewise, if you think your society on campus could provide us with an activity before kick-off, then we want to know more! We're on media@colchesterunited.net, ready and willing to hear your ideas.

If you're in a band - or are intending to start one up whilst you're at university - we'd love to hear from you.

We often host other sports teams from around the local area to demonstrate their sports and we also have local bands playing for fans as they arrive at the stadium.

We open our South Stand bar at 12.30pm on a Saturday and 6pm on a Tuesday night game, allowing you to get food and drink before the stadium itself is open on a matchday. What else goes on on matchdays?


If you're after a lively atmosphere, then the South Stand is definitely the place for you. It's full of people your age and is often the place where the chants will get started on a Saturday afternoon. Where's the best place to sit?


We offer a £13 ticket for every home game for 18-21s, so there's good value for you, whenever you choose to come and see us at the Weston Homes Community Stadium. Prices go up by £1 on a matchday, so it's worth getting your ticket early.

If one of you drives, then there are car parking permits available each matchday for £6. For the busier games, these sell out in advance, so it's worth booking early.

Alternatively, a taxi to the stadium will cost you around £10 each way, which could work for you if you're coming as part of a group.

But we'll also be putting on a number of social events - we'll be down at the SU for Champions League nights, we'll be bringing the players down to meet you on campus and there'll be other activities that will mean your £10 will be very well spent!

Firstly, it'll be about you enjoying your matchday visits! We're really looking forward to welcoming you to the stadium and getting the Col U bug. What will be on offer for me as a Student U's member?
