News releases on the new ground will be hosted here, but to find out the history of the development prior to May 2007, click HERE.

With an expected move ahead of the 2007/8 season, there will be a lot of activity regarding the new community stadium in the next twelve months.

We will be hosting all press releases and key information regarding Cuckoo Farm as and when we get it, as the new 10,000 all seater facility takes shape.

All stadium enquiries should be directed in the first instance to Colchester Borough Council, whose details can be found at www.colchester.gov.uk.
