Christmas shoppers have been giving their backing to the Evening Gazette's Community Stadium Now! campaign.
An extra 645 people signed the petition during Wednesday's late-night shopping event in Colchester.
It means the Gazette campaign has seen more than 14,400 sign up in support of a community stadium at Cuckoo Farm to the north of the town.
The campaign, launched earlier this year, called on all parties involved to work together to resolve outstanding issues, and make sure work starts on the community stadium.
Representatives of Colchester Community Stadium Action Group, made up of members of Colchester United's supporters club, have been holding regular petition-gathering events.
