Colchester Football in the Covid crisis 09:27 - Apr 13 with 568 views

It’s absolutely right that football is suspended but there’s still a lot of football fans missing their fix in the Colchester area.

The Box 39 Show on Colne Radio has served up two local shows for your entertainment in these football barren days.

First up is a non-league community special recorded at the recent ‘El Essexco’ (the Essex answer to Spain’s El Clasico) between Harwich and Parkeston FC and Wivenhoe Town FC. The show features Harwich club Chair Tony Armstrong and Nicky Palmer the club captain. Wivenhoe are represented by Captain Tim Dennis and goalkeeper Ben Gallifant.

The show celebrates the grassroots heroes at the base of the football pyramid. There’s also a bit of Harwich history taking in the Kinder Transport, sinking ferries and pirate radio. The show is hosted by Robert May and in the final part of the show his co-host Bill Lawrance goes to the Hannover Arms to find out about one of his ghostly relatives!

You can listen to the non-league community special here:

Next up is a 15minute podcast entitled ‘A Football Voice in the Lockdown’. Hear @ColuBryn ponder how football and in particular Colchester United have responded to the Covid crisis, will the season ever end and what you can do with these footie free weekends?
