COLCHESTER UNITED

JobServe Community Stadium (capacity 10,105)

Colchester United played at Layer Road between 1937 and 2008 before moving into their new home, the JobServe Community Stadium for the start of the 2008/9 season. The stadium cost around £14 million to build, and was paid for by Colchester Borough Council, who own the stadium.

The stadium contains four separate single-tiered stands, all of which are of similar height and design and which offer good views of the game. The stands are also quite steep which means the fans are all quite close to the pitch which generates an excellent atmosphere.

Away fans visiting the JobServe Community Stadium are located in the northern side of the JobServe Stand, with a typical allocation of 1,000. For larger away followings, the North Stand is used, with an allocation of around 2,000.

For directions to Colchester United’s JobServe Community Stadium (CO4 5UP for Sat Navs) from wherever your journey starts, just type in your postcode or starting location here:


There is plenty of space at the stadium itself, but if you can’t find a place for your car here then there is an overspill car park which can be found at a nearby industrial estate. There is an extenseive residents only parking scheme in operation, so street parking is almost impossible in the areas near the stadium. If your Sat Nav doesn’t recognise CO4 5UP, then try CO4 5JS, which is the nearby Rapid Electronics factory.

We’ve compiled a list of car parks, below, near to the JobServe Community Stadium for hassle free parking while you’re at the match.
