    TBF Exeter do have a sizeable number of fans who don't live anywhere near Devon. They call themselves The Exiles I seem to recall.
    Back in the early 90's there was a group that regularly turned up at VP for Exeter games with a 'Yorkshire Grecians' flag.
    I'm going to make the short trip along the A59 on Saturday and take in the Harrogate vs Barrow game.

    Been like that for years. Remember doing Portsmouth away on a Tuesday night in Kamara's Reign and then doing the same the following year under Jewell :confused:

    I bet the trip to Portsmouth under Jewell was well worth it ;), but your correct the EFL couldn't organise a p!ss up in a brewery.

    I remember, because I was away working in Southsea for that game with Jewell at the helm.
    So did them both
    Was back in the hotel bar within 20 minutes :thumbup:

    Good piece that, in fact very good with a lot of accurate details. I vaguely remember Bannie hitting four against the Stags.

    Anybody want to throw conservative score predictions in again before my obligatory easy win confirmation?

    Difficult one to predict this. We’ve been very average in our first 2 games at Exeter and at home vs oldham, but we really switched it on vs stevenage. All depends which Bradford city team turns up on the day. Having said that, we haven’t looked like losing any of our games. I’m going to go for a narrow win by an odd goal. 2-1 city Cook and Vernam to get the goals.

    I think EFL have done something about the number and distance of Tuesday night games this season, with some exceptions like Exeter/ Barrow. Last season was crammed in but we had away Tuesdays at Southend, Orient, Crawley, Newport. This season just Stevenage of any distance, others at Hartlepool and Tranmere are manageable and Colchester is Bank Holiday so big improvement.

    Exeter struggling
    Oldham are shite
    Stevenage are Shite.

    We played well against Stevenage but you can’t judge that. It’s Stevenage.

    Mansfield is a test. Good manager. Well supported team and have some decent players,

    I'm sure Mansfield's equivalent of you will be saying exactly the same thing. Bradford is a test. Good manager. Well supported team and have some decent players.

    Stevenage had only conceded 2 goals in their previous 10 away games. I would suggest Tuesday was a test that we came through with flying colours.

    Mansfield away will be a sterner test, I will give you that. Can we assume then if we get a good result tomorrow, you will be a happy bunny and more confident of our chances this season?

    It'll be interesting to see how we set up if Angol is out, which seems likely.
    Will he stick with two up front, replacing Angol with Lavery?
    Or maybe go 4231, with Songo'o and Watt or Sutton sitting deep and Vernam, Cooke and Gilliead behind Cook?
