A LARGE crowd of starstuck football fans headed to Colchester United's grounds for their traditional pre-season launch event.
The open day at the Weston Homes Community Stadium saw people young and old flock to the grounds where the club's manager and assistant manager, John McGreal and Steve Ball, put the U's through their paces.
Questions were fired at the pair in a fierce Q&A session, while players signed hundreds of autographs.
