About The Weston Homes Community Stadium
Colchester United moved in to their new home at Cuckoo Farm in the summer of 2008. The grand new arena replaced the more traditional Layer Road, where The U's had been playing their football since 1937.
Away Facilities
Pools fans will be able to watch the action from the South Stand which has the capacity for 1,900. Views of the playing area are good and facilities inside the stadium are excellent.
Car Parking
There are limited car parking spaces at the ground which cost £10 each. However, the Club have organised a Shuttle Bus service which runs from the nearby Colchester Business Park.
