Bloody hell its tiny, Ill just bring a step ladder instead or get a couple of boxes

 

[2ndtenorblade]

A row of busses on there would look like an upper tier.

 

[davidpinder]

Just slip whoever lives across the road a few cans and watch through the window

 

[ECFC-Shawn]

Yeah like i said. They all watch from the windows and roofs. You can see the coaches pull up towards the end of the match

I have just written to Exteter FC


I realise that this puts Exeter FC
However I feel that it would be the best result all round if Exeter FC.

I am asking Exeter FC, on the behalf of thousands of SUFC fans

The game could be crucial to Exeter FC

Oliver.

Nothing quite like getting the club's name wrong throughout to make them feel kindly disposed to the "best result all round". If they feel like I do when we're referred to as Sheffield, that would be an immediate delete.

I should also like to make clear that you didn't approach them on my behalf, so that's many thousands, less one.

 

[ECFC-Shawn]

Exeter fc? Thats a amatuer non pro club in exeter. Got the wrong name *Delete*

That is a very bad schoolboy error, I would just throw the letter in the bin if I was the Exeter CITY chairman

 

[Ollessendro]

Didn't realise there were more than one professional football teams in Exeter

 

[judge]

You

By the sounds of it I might be able to get a few of them, think you can fit about 10 on a scissor lift so just need to confirm some prices and find out if there's a good spot for them. Could also hang a few banners from them too. Would be a few spare places going if I can get them.

Anyone know the legalities of doing something like this? Is the worst I could expect a parking ticket?

you need a licence which costs 200 quid and if you put more than 2 people in it it will topple over and kill you

 

[Ted Danson]

Got mates with licenses for them and they tell me you can get 10 in a scissor lift

 

[SwissBlade]

The only place you could put it is behind the away end. On a path. Il put a picture up of the road, to show you where youbwould have to put it.

I thought you said it was behind the away end? That pic you put up was just a nice house with a garden in front of it... Is there supposed to be a 'stand' between the house and the garden?

 

[ECFC-Shawn]

Funny one.....

City aren't down yet, theres no point speculating won't might happen untill the future of the club is known or pleaing with the club to release extra tickets, two wins and there back in with a chance. If there are confirmed down before the Blades match then I'm sure the club won't turn down extra revenue as the ground will be half full at most. Wait another two weeks and then see.

 

[Deleted member 875]

I've hatched a fireproof plan to get tickets for the home end, should Exeter not see sense and release tickets for the travelling Blades.

Using my contacts, and knowledge, i reckon i'll be able to get about a dozen,

 

[davidpinder]

so from no chance of extra tickets

Hi exeter fan in peace here. Just like to let you know our club yesterday confirmed that the rumours of you getting an extra stand, or 3500 tickets, is nonsense, so youll get the normal 1200 tickets unfortunately. Hopefully the game will be like the 4-4 game at BL, obviouly with us winning. But good luck with getting tickets. See you in may

To actually if were down they you probably will

So looking good for extra tickets then

 

[Balham]

Given the lack of official announcement either way; it looks more than likely that results over the next couple of weeks will determine the allocation.

If City have something to play for then I'd understand them not increasing our allocation. However, if they're down I can see us getting that 4k capacity terrace (cue grumbling from the locals!).

Whilst this is true, I am struggling to see where these 2 wins are coming from. Looking at the fixtures (which I posted on another thread) it much more likely they'll be even further from safety come Tuesday. There is a reason they are down there and 8 points adrift. Sure, they can dream that if they win the next 2 then there in with a chance, but I just cannot see it.

It's all well and good saying that it depends on Exeter being relegated or not by the last game, but theyve not exactly filled their ground all season.

Are they suddenly going to get 3-4000 extra fans if they have survived? Do they normally get a last day of the season spike where thousands more just come out

I had a look at that. Last season they got over 7'000 twice. The last home game of the season they got 7.8k, so they could argue that if their survival depended on it they might get close to capacity. The game was against Plymouth (who may have had fans sat in the home end presumably are rivals) and they generally get higher attendences against regional clubs (e.g. more than 7k last season for visit of Bristol R). Hence I can see why they are holding on.

 

[judge]

All a bit porktalk this thread , why should we expect clubs to give us extra tickets it's up to the two clubs to decide that not Exeter fans
So if people want to put pressure on the best way is to ring up or apply for tickets when available .once we've sold out and for instance another 5000 ring up for tickets then I'm pretty sure some compromise would be reached

I think its clear from the article on the OS that if Exeter have a chance of survival on the last day they will not give out any more tickets. If they are down, they will go for the money and offer more.

No-one is expecting anything.

But with an average and indeed maximum attendance this season no where near capacity, it only seems sensible...

Wasn't this thread started by an Exeter fan?

 

[Ollessendro]

Just ignore the scouse Piggy.

All we are asking is for a sensible approach. It seems that Exeter CITY football club are being pragmatic about this. If they are within a chance of staying up, then I would respect their decision to give us a small allocation (as the evidence suggests they would sell most of the rest). Don't get me wrong, I'd still be in the home end.

SUFC have made a timely announcement and reading between the lines it seems that we may get the tickets, provided Exeter don't have anything to play for (i.e. I agree with Darren ... on this rare occassion).

Nowt more to be said really.

I dont think you understand, the club have said that rumours, that were started by chavvy stewards, that you were getting the big bank (our 4k terrace) is nonsence. So if you get an increased allocation it will either the old grandstand, or half the flybe. Not the BB.
