Wembley way - young U’s fans at Wembley in 1997
JOIN us on another trip down memory lane with another selection of Colchester United pictures.
Government restrictions because of the coronavirus mean fans are still not allowed into stadiums to watch games.
However, to help plug the gap, and to give supporters a taste of what they have to look forward to when the rules change, we’ve dipped into our archives to find these colourful pictures.
As the photos below show, U’s fans are a loyal, dedicated bunch, sticking with their team through thick and thin.
Can you spot yourself and do you have any old sporting pictures to share - of the U’s or maybe your old non-league or Sunday League team?
If so, email matt.plummer@newsquest.co.uk
