It makes me laugh how we've managed to find ourselves a rival team in the form of Exeter City. Personally, i don't give two hoots about them, but i sure as hell love winding them up in the EB.
The atmosphere in the home end was good on Saturday but what happened to them? They were in full voice from about 2.30pm but as soon as 3.00pm came around, I could harldy hear them.
We've got the bragging rights for now, until we get thumped down at St James Park!
We have won every game we have ever played them in @ home in all comps (even conf cup!) but we have a **** record at SJP. Last time we won there was 1956. Although last two seasons we have picked up a point on each occasion (0-0, 1-1) and obv the title :)
Alex I know its a very long time ago but I think it all started when we played down there in the F.A cup all them years ago. It all started because of the trouble with Aldershot fans not being let in.
However I could be wrong but thats where I think it comes from.
To be honest, I think it comes from the fact that for a number of years they were the biggest team in the Conference and always bought a good support to us, and vice versa. Especially in the Conference where only 3 or 4 teams every bought a following worth talking about!
I love winding them up and I'm chuffed to **** that we beat them!
hi my names craig new member yer anyway exeter was a quality match and a quality win and windin up the fans was nice extra bonus but at st james park its going to be difficult our away form this season isnt paricularly good reading but i was at rotherham last night and if we can play like that week in week out we can beat any team in our league home or away
