All you need to know ahead of the Boxing Day game.
Weston Homes Community Stadium car park
In what is a very northern League One this year, both sets of fans will no doubt appreciate a more local encounter and we've got the following information around travel on the day.
The match will see a capacity crowd at the Weston Homes Community Stadium and it promises to be a cracking atmosphere as the two teams come face to face.
The U's home match with Southend United is drawing ever nearer, as the five year wait for an Essex derby comes to a close.

Park & Ride car park
The nearby Park & Ride car park will be available for matchday parking on Boxing Day.
This is priced at £3 per vehicle and fans are encouraged to leave the car park via the Boxted Road exit (nearest to McDonalds) to make their way safely to the stadium across the Boxted Road bridge.
Alternative local car parking
A number of the businesses on Axial Way (leading away from the stadium) offer parking in their car parks on a matchday. These car parks start at £6 per vehicle – but please note that the regulation and management of these car parks are not under the jurisdiction of Colchester United Football Club.
Shuttle Buses and car parking
We will also be running a full shuttle bus service for the Boxing Day match. Parking is available at Colchester Train Station and in the Three Crowns Road car park and the shuttle buses will be running from Bruff Close (by Big Yellow Storage) from 1pm until 2.45pm for this fixture.
