groundhopper91 has rated Broad Lane 2.5 out of 5.
On the outskirts of town and not that far outside of Colchester. There is plenty of parking at the ground. When you enter through the turnstiles there is a bar and food counter to the right. Straight ahead is a club shop with some interesting items from teams around the world. There are two covered stands behind each goal and a large seated stand on the far side. Some of the more vocal fans for this standard.
Plenty of parking and pretty easy to find. Not much located around the ground. Not too far away from the University of Essex, almost directly opposite this.
Covered area is behind each goal and a seated stand for a couple of hundred.
Smallish refreshment area, a bar and a club shop.
Great to hear fans at this level chanting.
