Well done AA.
It is Colchester United.
All 4 stands identical to Chesterfield.

Well done AA. It is Colchester United. All 4 stands identical to Chesterfield. I've watched games at both, but can't say I was aware that they were twins!

AA: Hope you’re well.
Maybe it’s all in the name ALE 🍺 MAN.
Not saying anything untoward hopefully but you might have had a couple of shandy’s too many and not realised and you were enthralled with what was taking place on the pitch..
Me on the other hand - the games I’ve watched at both grounds not much has been going on pitch wise which led me to discover that little QUIZ GEM 💎!

Got to disagree, many differences the most obvious being roof structure, Chesterfields being curved compared to the bog standard straight lined, cost saving effort at Colchester. Oh and mentioning bog standard the concourse and facilities are on different level.

'fraid I have to agree with tupist too, having lived in Chessie for a year in the 2010/11 season and having sat it every stand there including the directors box. They are different, although they do sort of match unlike say Gillingham, and not akin to windy Colchester .

Back to tonight, for the first time this season we already know we will still be top regardless of our result or other results. In other games to watch for, Kings Lynn host Hartlepool, Maidenhead host Torquay, Wrexham host Eastleigh, Notts County go to Boreham Wood, Stockport host Barnet and Halifax play Aldershot. So it's a full house of games tonight for sides currently in a play off spot.
Just as a note, for the season so far we're on 2.12 points per game. That compares to the winners of the 8 previous seasons:
2019/20 - Barrow (1.89) 2018/19 - Leyton Orient (1.93) 2017/18 - Macclesfield (2.00) 2016/17 - Lincoln City (2.15) 2015/16 - Cheltenham Town (2.20) 2014/15 - Barnet (2.00) 2013/14 - Luton (2.20) 2012/13 - Mansfield (2.07)
That's an average over the last 8 years of the champions winning with 2.06 points per game.

Tupist & Medeyl Hope you’re both well.
The roof I’m not sure about - but the 4 stands I’m sure are identical.
I’ll have to double check when I next visit both grounds..

I went to the new ground in 2008 for a game against Scunthorpe. Bought a ticket and went inside, looked for a programme seller without success. Asked a steward where I could get one, was told they were only on sale outside the ground. So he took my money, went outside and bought one for me. Quality service!
