colchester new stadium opening

Celtic supporters also go to watch Colchester united

I had the pleasure of going to the last game at layer road and the first game at the new stadium the new stadium is fantastic a great looking ground with excellent facility's one of the first things that hits you is the fantastic playing surface and it is a lot bigger than the old pitch this should benefit col u as they like to try and play the passing game just like the hoops.




Here are some pictures of the new stadium on the open day of Monday 4th August.

layer road had lots of fond memory's i had the great pleasure of meeting two great Celts there paddy Bonner and the late great Tommy burns at the time were both working at Swindon town the day just got better with 3 generations of Celtic supporters present my self my father Neil and my young son Alex paddy sign his world cup shirt for Alex and Tommy singed his hoops, great days and fond memories




Here are some pictures of Layer road where Colchester used to play. These pictures were taken on the last game of the season.
