Playing Away - Braintree Town
The U's head to local Conference South side Braintree Town for their latest pre-season friendly (kick off 3pm).
Admission prices for the game, which will be played at Cressing Road, are £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
If you're planning to drive to the game and have Satnav, then set your route to CM7 3DE Clockhouse Way, otherwise directions from Colchester are as follows:
Take the A12 southbound and leave at junction 25. Join the A120 and follow signs to Stansted. After approximately 9 miles you will arrive on the outskirts or Braintree and come to a roundabout, take the first exit and continue to follow the A120. At the next roundabout take the fourth exit onto B1018 Cressing Road. Take the third left onto Clockhouse Way and the ground is immediately on the left. The journey from Colchester will take around half an hour.
The car park at the ground is small, so it appears to be street parking for all.
It is possible to get to Braintree by train and bus from Colchester. Please consult National Rail Enquiries for train times and fares and Transport Direct for bus times.
