Return rail tickets now £110. Way too expensive

GWR never let you down, absolutely shocking what they charge.

Yep. I wanted to do this one but can’t afford it now. Would have booked earlier when it was cheaper but had to wait until pay day last week. It’s a joke really that an away day has to be a £200+ day out. 

Try Southwest trains, and if you have a Network railcard you can use that.
The choo choo goes from Waterloo.

Engineering works on SWT that day so part of the already long journey would be by replacement bus

Have you looked a the split train travel website - split ticketing.com?

Still very expensive even with split ticketing and a network railcard.

SWT from Waterloo is cheaper, but with the rail replacement bus, very slow.

Our last game there was only at Easter anyway, so will give it a miss this season

I mean, do GWR carry you on and off from your luxury first class train cabin on a gilded gold chariot, hoisted aloft by nubile young Amazons for that?

Fucking disgrace. I would take the moral high ground, but we always hopped the barriers back in the 80's.

I never did that, I was too small.

Looking forward to this. Any pre drinks food suggestions?

@kafka I was introduced to the open air/indoor fan's bar at the ground last season. Will be there again this time. 

Taken from Exeter fans forum - re Jimmy Giles

https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/jimmygileseevent

The club shop (ECFC) now has copies of Jimmy Giles biography in stock. 

You can buy a copy and have it signed by the man himself from 1.30pm on Saturday in the club shop, or after the final whistle and until 6pm in the same place.

From 6pm, there's an evening with Jimmy in the Centre Spot, where he'll be in conversation with author Matt Riley. All supporters are welcome to attend.

This event has been arranged to coincide with the visit of Charlton Athletic, for whom Jimmy played and is still remembered with high regard. All being well, there'll be a five minute chat with Jimmy pitch side at half time, where he'll highlight his connections with both clubs.

Exeter have just shared on their socials that they only have 20 seats remaining in the home end.

Reminder that their is a replacement bus service from Axminster to Exeter all weekend, so no direct trains to Exeter from Waterloo.

Gonna be a nice crowd for sure.

Those looking for good pubs…The Stand Off (just behind John Lewis) is good for sports and the Turks Head on the main high street is a good pub over split levels.

Are we the new Wrexham?

It's normal for Exter to get very good gates in terms of their ground capacity 

Very decent turnout

I’m guessing you crawled under.🤫

Few of us on the 10.03 from Paddington. Where's everyone going for a beer down there? 

A pub.

Am looking forward to it. Went years ago but first time for my lad. Great numbers from the Addicks for this one, it is not a stone’s throw away!! Safe travels all, hope we bag some points.
