DIRECTIONS


Some of these Directions are taken from the Eastern Counties Handbook, and some have been written after personally visiting the grounds. All directions are from Colchester. Road layouts change from time to time, so if you get lost, it ain't my fault!

If you can add to the list, particularly for grounds outside the ECRU area, e-mail me.
