COLCHESTER UNITED

Colchester United's complete Football League record — 74 seasons. Click any column heading to sort; click again to reverse the order. The sorted column is highlighted in club colours. See also: League Records for all clubs.

GD = Goal Difference (used from 1976/77). GA = Goal Average (used until 1975/76). Dimmed values indicate the method not in use for that season. For Football League divisions 2–4 from 1992/93 to 1998/99, Goals Scored was the tiebreaker — both GD and GA are dimmed for those seasons.
