Reply | Expect the real Colchester United to turn up at the JCS for historic victory
at 19:35 27 Apr 2024
Sorry that I’ve been AWOL on here this season! Had things going on elsewhere but have closely followed the U’s this year and was at the Wrexham game a couple of weeks ago.
Goes without saying that I’m massively relieved the U’s stayed up. As you guys know I’m a lifelong Brighton fan and this has to be our Chris Hughton moment. In 2014/15 he came in, after ultimately being booted from Norwich, Newcastle and Birmingham, and kept Albion up. It would have been a crying shame if we’d gone down as everything else was right at the club and the future was bright - we just needed to stay in the Championship. He did the job and the next season we almost got promoted, missing out on goal difference on the last day and missing out in the playoffs - year after we got promoted automatically to the Prem.
I feel like this is that moment for the U’s. We’ve finally got the right men in charge, and everything else for Colchester as a city and as a club, with the development around the ground, is on the up. The future is bright. Attendances should go up with all the entertainment and leisure facilities, combined with the boost the Cowley’s have given us. It would have been a travesty to have been relegated. Now, we need to back the Cowley’s, let them work their plan they shared at the Q and A and lead us to promotion next year!
Up the U’s! |

Reinelt is an Albion hero and legend. That still remains the most important goal scored in our history. I started attending as a 6 year old with my dad the following season when we were exiled at Priestfield. Tomorrow I'll be at Wembley where we have a very plausible shout of making it to the final. Absolutely bizarre the reversal of fortunes which keeps us humble to remember how different things could have been without Reinelt's equaliser that day.
Thanks for posting ghughes and for the well wishes! Lovely that Albion and the U's have a bit of shared history. |

Many thanks Pinot and hearty congratulations to you for winning the league. Very deserved - I began to lose my way towards the end but managed to save it right at the end! My season resembles Ipswich's very much, and just like Ipswich would be I imagine, I'm over the moon to gain promotion.
Huge thanks mfb for this season and all your hard work. The football season would be far duller without the Happy League. Didn't realise there was a super cup, so looking forward to this addition at the end of the season! |

Agreed, that Swindon game is probably one of my favourites since I’ve been following the U’s. Him and Norris live long in the memory from that night. Right behind the goal in the South Stand I was, lovely stuff. |
