Exeter (a) Sat 28th Jan

matt896 · January 11

Just wondering if people think this will sell out before general sale, as I study at Exeter uni but don't have a season ticket any more, so can't buy on restricted sale?

ElfsborgAddick · January 11

Definitely not, we will sell 1300 but not before the general sale.

Other than that go in the Exeter end

golfaddick · January 11

I wont be going............don't want to stand up for 90 mins !!! :)

TellyTubby · January 11

I am concerned that this might sell out before I get a chance to get a ticket. This is my local match being just an hours drive. Home stand if necessary but not wanting to go there. Difficult to cheer a Kermi hat trick in the home stand.

Mendonca In Asdas · January 11

£17 to stand ... ouch!

HandG · January 12

We've still sold less than 1,300 for Sheffield Wednesday so there's no chance of us selling this out before the tickets go on general sale. You'll be fine.

On another note, me and some friends are staying down there for this one. Tellytubby and Matt, can you recommend any decent bars/clubs? Nothing too studenty as we're mostly in our (early) 30s. Cheers.

Best bet on a Saturday is probably time piece, the bottom level is bar/pub with decent outside area and a club up stairs if your up for it. Else I'd reccomend firehouse if you fancy a long session the booze is cheap, they have live music and do good food. Their famous pizzas after 9pm are worth going for alone but get their early cause it's always rammed. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I went down without a ticket knowing we'd sold out before, and got in, so you should be ok!

That was a brave move JT.

Plaaayer · January 12

Brave is his middle name. He took out a loan with 5570% APR once!

JT · January 12

Just went up to the turnstile and bunged the bloke 15 quid, let me in.

Exeter is shit for a night out, we tried having one down there in the 1st season, ended up getting the train back to the station nearest the hotel at 11pm. Exmouth seems more decent tbh

shine166 · January 13

i'll be going, looking to bring a few mates too as its only a 25 min train trip

Wheresmeticket? · January 13

I'll be driving from SE Cornwall - nearest game, appx an hour away.

Might bring the missus to give her that "old-fashioned football" experience as she's only ever seen football in luxury from the Valley west stand.

DaveStorry · January 13

I'm in Cornwall (Falmouth ) that weekend.

Wondering whether it's worth the 2 hour drive to the game, or to play golf that afternoon.

don't be such a wuss ;0)

DaveStorry · January 13

I know, but however you flower it up, it's still 3rd div footie and i've seen plenty of that in my time following t' addicks

HandG · January 13

Matt-thanks for your feedback, we'll keep both of those places in mind and I may resurrect this thread nearer the time to enlist more of your advice. Wherever we end up, we'll have a good time I'm sure.

Dave Storry: we've only spent a few years in the third tier in our 100+ year existence so you can't have seen that much! Screw the golf and drive to Exeter!

Oggy Red · January 13

Hope to be there too.

Nearest game for me this season.

Plaaayer · January 13

Got my tickets. Looking forward to seeing you Oggy.

Oggy Red · January 13

Yep, Plaaaaaaaayer, be good to see you again.

You wearing your Uggs?

JT · January 13

Fanny Fanackapan · January 13

Staying Friday & Saturday night in Exeter for the game.

Plaaayer · January 13

Just for you mate.

Mendonca In Asdas · January 13

Is the train station right next to the ground?

bristoladdick · January 13

St James Park station is, which is a branch line about 6 mins from Exeter St Davids. I think trains are every 30 mins.

Got 3 tickets so far, probably looking for another couple on the day.

Look on the O/S under tickets - then rail travel - the train times are there under the Exeter A info.

Mendonca In Asdas · January 13

Cheers ticket booked!

Great Western trains is the recognised route from Paddington. From Waterloo on the NSE card will get you there in 3 1/2hrs for about £30 return

wwaddickson · January 14

Got a return for £24 which I bought from GSW website on Monday

RedMist · January 14

Have just discovered the festival was meant to be playing has been cancelled, so will be there with knobs on now, as it's my local game- any west country addicks want to meet up before?

Airman Brown · January 14

Walkable from Exeter St David's. Go from Paddington at current fares rather than the stopper from Waterloo. Be prepared to get wet.

fatrob · January 14

northstandsteve · January 14

11.06 from paddington arrives exeter st davids at 13.31 -£7.90
18.02 from exeter st davids arrives paddington at 20.41 -£15.85.

From Exeter St. Davids is half hour maximum through the city. A very pleasant walk and day out. They have a supporters club at ground that lets in away fans and is great

Howdy, Stranger!
