Exeter City - away

Jerry St Clair · 27 Mar 2018, 12:52

The club are confidently predicting that tickets will be available on the turnstiles for CTFC fans despite a reduced allocation of 350 due to the building work St James's Park. Surely there's half a chance we'll get close to that number? Bank holiday, relatively close, in good form (at least away). No?

Think I heard Jim Haggin announce at the last game that there are no direct trains on the day. That coupled with Easter Monday traffic and I'd say about 300 maybe? It is a bit of a risk though, I'd have thought, not being all-ticket.

Indeed. Just checked. The trains are an absolute horror show on Monday (two sets of replacement buses in Bristol and Taunton). That's me out then. Would have fancied it otherwise. In those circumstances 250-300 is probably about right.

Be easier for me to fly down from Newcastle. But I am in Chelt on the weekend so ruled out.

Club coaches are door to door, cheap and usually arrive one o'clockish. Also never cancelled to be replaced by a train service.

Ok if you want to go door to door, but not for people who like to make a day of it. Exeter Cathedral and Quayside lovely for lunch and evening drinks for example.

But could be handy for Monday when there are no trains, and you get a couple of hours before the game to do whatever takes your fancy.

I wouldn’t worry about the lack of trains, lads. It’ll be called off. Especially with the forecast we’ve got over the next couple days.

They have a bar in Exeter Cathedral, RCS?!?!

I have a private helicopter and takes an hour....I shall wave to you peasants in the traffic jams.

Several nice food and drink peveyors in Cathedral Square, one of the most pleasant stretches of road I have had the pleasure to spend time in.

Remember to factor in the curvature of the earth.

Yup the precinct is beautiful, but still no bar in the Cathedral.
Now if there was, I expect attendances might be higher.

Malabus could even take in the seven Tors as a pleasant excursion on his way....

Surprised he hasn't offered anyone a lift!

They've got a great big table in there...a little bit of imagination could easily turn that into a bar.

Decent wine. Could do with better snacks - those wafery bread things not very inspiring.

I'm having doubts that this game will go ahead, poor very wet weather is expected.
