Re Colchester departure time. As per a previous post from Rambo, it takes about 1 hour 45 mins (on a good day) to get from Sutton to Colchester. Using this time, we will arrive at the ground about 6.30pm if we leave at 4.45pm, providing we avoid all rush hour traffic, Dartford tunnel traffic etc, which is highly unlikely. Maybe a 4pm departure could be considered?? I hope not, a 6.30 arrival time seems early enough for me.

For those that are driving to Crawley Town, there is excellent free parking available in the Business Park just to the south of the ground. It’s well signposted on the left hand side if you’re coming down the A23 from J11 on the M23. It’s no more than 100 yards from the ground and there is a handy walkthrough via a wooden gate and over a little footbridge to the ground (at the corner where the excellent bar is).

Just to let you know that there are now road works at the roundabout by the stadium that started last week and is expected to last for 8 weeks which may affect your access to the Business Park with the traffic queuing down from the M23. If you park in the Business Park before the game you have to use this roundabout after which may also delay your travel home. Redz Bar welcomes all away fans, its located at the opposite end to the away turnstiles. It can get busy as the live football is being shown on the TV's before the game.

More information on this when know on this thread. Saturday 13th November v Tranmere. Coach timings and cost T.B.C Saturday 20th November v Leyton Orient.
