Exeter on Saturday

[fbm]

I'll be making the trip to the other St James' Park on Saturday to see the mighty Blues and will also look forward to catching up with my old mate Shrimpero.

I've seen elsewhere somewhere a post about someone standing with him at Exeter so maybe if others know him I'll get to meet a few other zoners too.

Looking forward to it, especially after last nights result.

I'm meeting Shrimpero at about 1 I think in the Great Western - a beer paradise apparently!

It certainly is - I will be there - the big problem will be getting Shrimpero out of the bar :smile:

Try the Old Firehouse (decent, cheap food and beers) or the Wellhouse Tavern as well in the town centre. I was at Exeter Uni and they were two of my regular pubs.

Agreed; both those pubs are excellent, tough choice.

The Old Firehouse wins on points, wonderfully old-fashioned, definitely worth a visit if you can make it and certainly helped the awful game that followed pass more easily!

Great town and really looking forward to the match, have been away more than Roots Hall this season and it's been fantastic to see the lads picking up the points and, on the whole, playing really well as a team.

Superb support from the travelling faithful as well.

Me and the Mrs will be going, meeting a mate in the Wetherspoons at about 12, then on to the game - we'll be in the standing bit of the ground I think, but will pick tickets up on the day.

Never been to the ground before, hoping everything will be well sign posted after 2 hours in the pub!

Anyone know a pub around the ground that does good ale and has a telly for the early kick off?

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Good effort all those going to Exeter on Sat. Can't make it what with going last night and the cup replay next week. Players really seemed to appreciate the support last night. Bit hard to make any sort of noise at Exeter but I'm sure all going will do their best.

Sounds like a couple of options then, i'll be arriving by train into Exeter Central/St Davids about 11:30ish so will have time for both & not getting the last train back till about 11pm so will be paying visit to a few more pubs post match.....hopefully celebrating another 3 points.

Both good as is the Imperial (JDW) - but the Great Western wins it for me - especially as I am coming by train.

Never seen any sign posts - but thats probably `cos I know the way - BTW which Wetherspoons are you going too - more than one in Exeter

 

[Smiffy]

Just a little heads up.

There is the "potential" for some snow on Saturday. Probably less likely in the South West but it cannot be ruled out at this stage...

It's Exeter, I think that have a really good clubhouse and make us very welcome, also Sky before the match. Plus I think it's them that have the Domino pizza delivery service during the match!

Heading for the Imperial - seems to be between St Davids station and the ground (ish).... :cheers:

Is this your first train trip to a game since the seventies, mate? Me and Richie C will be in there by the time you get there - it worked at Torquay.

Correctamundo Kay - hey, that was the game BBBC saw red for clattering Macca. And when that waste of space Jabo Ibehre missed those sitters.
