Pre-season Dates Confirmed

Vital Colchester has finally sourced the dates and fixtures for United`s pre-season, as confirmed so far.

They come courtesy of the club`s Swedish fanzine, which makes an interesting read and even, in places, mentions Vital Colchester!

The matches are as follows:

11/7/09 Tiptree – Colchester
21/7/09- Colchester – Aston Villa
23/07/09 – Heybridge – Colchester
25/07/09 – Ipswich – Colchester
28/07/09 – Histon – Colchester
30/07/09 – Ebbsfleet – Colchester

As usual, not a very high-class band of opposition for the most part, bar potentially the Aston Villa and Ipswich games.

For many, part of last season’s downfall was the generally poor opposition chosen to prepare the club for the new season.

It has alos been announced this morning that Norwich City are United’s first opposition for the 2009/10 season.

Top stuff!




What do you think of the club’s pre-season fixture list? Could it include a better standard of opposition?
