I spoke to a load of Exeter fans before and after the game and they were all aware that there were a load of city fans amongst them and none seemed the slightest bit bothered. I never got a decent response from any of them about why they weren't sharing with the chiefs though.
Been under review again this season I think.It's a partly artificial pitch at Sandy Park, Exeter RFC's ground, which i think would mean Exeter City wouldn't be allowed to use it under FL rules which dictate the type of surface clubs are allowed to use.
Thanks. Would wonder whether they would get this done for the start of next season.There is a thread on the forum of Football Ground Guide on this. Funnily enough, the old away end from Barnet, which was recently replaced by the bigger stand we were in back in October, will go behind the goal. Grandstand is being rebuild for 2 thirds of the length of the pitch.
Would have thought by the time they take it down at Barnet, without demolishing it, transport it to Exeter and put it back up they'd be spending nearly as much as having a new stand.Funnily enough, the old away end from Barnet,
Did you attempt to gain entry to the ground with the 'Home' ticket?
if not, why did they take the tickets from you, you had two tickets but you were not attempting to enter the ground at the time.
I have a major concern with this, you made no attempt to enter the ground. So if you were a neutral fan just taking in the game have the goons with the jackets the right to take your tickets?
Personally I believe you should raise this with the supporters trust and ECFC
I will speak to the chair of the Exeter Trust. Will also contact the FSF. I don’t like how this has been handled at all. I don’t see how they can confiscate an away ticket from an away fan no matter what other ticket you had in your possession.
My son and myself stood on the away terrace. We wore no colours and had pre ordered the tickets using a friend’s West Country address. I had his address and post code off pat in case we were asked what it was when we collected the tickets. No one asked however. When on the terrace we kept quiet so as not to attract attention. We were amazed to see a fan dressed in a replica City shirt walking on to the home terrace. Obviously allowed in, no one taking any notice of him. Exeter fans generally were easy going and laid back. I don’t think they were bothered about City fans being among them.
Maybe they knew you were planning to use the word 'inchoate' in a blog for football fans, and therefore you deserved to be kicked out.
At least the weekend wasn't all lost, you've taught me a new word. Thanks.

Sorry, yes it was the home terrace. Amazing that they let a guy in wearing a City top but you had your tickets taken away.Do you mean Home terrace?

Yep that is ridiculousSorry, yes it was the home terrace. Amazing that they let a guy in wearing a City top but you had your tickets taken away.
Maybe they took umbrage that he'd been intending to go into the home end and decided that on the basis that'd he'd intended to break the rules, they were entitled not to admit him. Seems ridiculous to me, but maybe that's their thinking.What were you thinking taking the ticket in for a refund? Way too honest!
No idea why if you had an away ticket they took that as well, hopefully they will be able to answer that for you!
Clive Eakin said on CWR it won't be finished until October of next season !
Were the stewards going through the queue?
Odd they just approached you and asked to see your ticket/tickets?

Thats how it should be have a bit of banter but I really dont get the morons looking as though they want to kill someone just because they dont support the same team as them...fucking twatsMy son and myself stood on the away terrace.
