Town’s Essex Neighbours Colchester United are eyeing a groundshare at Portman Road should they get promoted.

Colchester United Chief executive Marie Partner: “Looking at the alternatives it would have to be Portman Road.”

 

“If it should happen and we get promoted there have to be serious discussions around the table because unfortunately Layer Road and its old facility does not fit Premiership criteria.”

 

Partner went on to add: “Obviously you put a contingency plan in place. It's something that's been loosely discussed a couple of months ago and would be something that Ipswich would have to think about - but commercially it's not ideal.”
