Re: Exeter City (A) League 1 Saturday 21/4/12.
Went to Exeter's game at Rochdale yesterday. Exeter completely bossed the game for 70 minutes against a dire Rochdale team and could have been 4 or 5 up rather than just 2-0. Then their keeper, who was dodgy throughout, dived out of the way of a routine shot & suddenly the game was transformed, with Rochdale scoring another 2 (one a lob with the keeper well out of position), as well as hitting the post.
My conclusions for next Saturday is that whilst they are quite neat footballing side going forward, our defence is far superior to Rochdale's so they shouldn't pose us too much trouble. They are definitly vulnerable at the back with the keeper, based on yesterday's showing a definite weak link - at fault with 2 of the goals plus he made some poor kicks straight to Rochdale forwards.
Prediction - 3-1 to the Saddlers

If we don't take 400+ to this we're a joke.

I said prior to kick off on Saturday, that anything less than 4,000 for such an important last-but-one home match would be a joke. And it was.
I notice that Wycombe had over 5,000 for their last-but-one home match, and they're in a much worse position than us, with Oldham taking possibly a smaller amount than Tranmere did [330].
I could not believe the ripple of applause in the upper tier when the attendance of 3,895 was announced. It should have at the very least scrapped the 4k mark IMHO.
We will take 500 on Saturday though.

...and that figure was with a rather healthy 300 odd Rovers fans, shocker mate, deserves boo's more than a poxy round of applause.
Hope you're right with the latter.

I'm not gonna lie, that away end looks a right laugh.
fudge with the massive empty space in front though? Thought they'd try and make it the largest they possibly can with the minimum room they have to do so.

Actually, regarding the space I remember Leeds fans getting 'crushed' somewhat when the terrace had zero walking space at the front, ECFC got proper hounded and obviously took quick action and sorted it out.

That space is a designated "go looney when you score in the 90th minute" Zone.

I'll take that as being addressed to me rather than canadian, jeremy or heather.
How about you take responsibility for your own actions instead of making (yet more) stupid comments when you come home from the pub drunk? You were banned for a week for being extremely offensive, got let out of jail early, come back and post rubbish like this and yet you still think you're hard done by? Why not parse your posts and see the massive amount of freedom you get on here, just because you're a regular? If you're banned you're bringing it on yourself, not being picked on. :roll:

Trust me for terracing it's s**t.It's the worst away end in the country.Wait until you see the loo there as well.Oh My God! Reminds me of the Fellows Park sh*tters.No matter how many fans are in that "stand" you can't make any noise.

Exeter do have one of the last remaining proper terraces in football at the other end though...
I am properly jealous :evil:
Long may it last. How football used to be :cry:

They're owned by the fans too. Exeter = proper football porn. Do they offer chips as well as pizza because that would be a nap hand of correct awesomeness. Sad to see them go if that's to be their fate.

I have booked my 5am train from Manchester. I've pretty much spent all my money following us this season. I hope it doesn't end in tears :cry:
