I wanted to go but there is no travel club going due to lack of interest and other modes of transport is extortionate and can't get me back on the same day annoyingly.
Another tricky game but with a bit of luck, I think we can get a result.
where are you based. have you looked up raileasy and their site ticketsplitter
I got mine via there from Gloucester to Newcastle for £50.70 with a rail card.i can help you look it up and then show you how to avoid the fees they charge. ah, scrap that. your right. there is no service beyond Bristol that goes to Devon at all. The train i'm catching comes back to Gloucester then terminates in Bristol TM
SO APART FROM ME. IS ANYONE GOING TO GATESHEAD? LOL. gee i feel like the Popular Front of Judea.

Note the previous poster's favourite player: Willie Brown. Now there's a forgotten name if ever there was one!
Well, Wivel - great minds ...... or fools. I thought exactly the same when I saw the name Willie Brown. Good player and a great character. Just looked him up on Wiki. 47 goals in 139 appearances. Oh that we had a striker of that calibre now !!

A bunch of my mates are flying up tonight, Exeter to Newcastle, so you wont be alone!! (they are not known for being quiet either!!)
Enjoy!!!
I had never thought of flying. not that there is an airport that close. Lulsgate is awful to get to and Birmingham is a fairly long ride away so it makes it expensive. I think I will enjoy travelling by train and they have upgraded me to 1st class.wow at £83 one way and £50 back I'm doing well to be going 1st class for so little.
I've been told off. I should be resting trying to sleep. I can't! I'm too excited lol.
Andy Provan - scored the best hat- trick I have ever seen in a 3-0 win against Rochdale, a 20yd half volley
with the outside of his right foot, a diving header and curling 20yd chip. Played 5 a side against him when
he was 50 and he was still bloody good
Remember also his superb cross for Clint Boulton to head home in a 1-0 win at Oakwell Super my only
ever visit to Barnsley !
Sorry to go off track
For a while a few seasons ago Andy Provan would come to the game with a mate or two and stand on the pop. side. I recall talking to him about past glories. Unfortunately one of the last games he had with United resulted in cat calls and shouts of 'Hang 'em up, Provan!'.

don't be sorry desperado.... that fella from Cumbria does it all the time.....
he was great Andy....I played footie with his son as we lived in Chelston and he then agreed to take our u14 team for training.
I remember that hat-trick too... awesome.....although he didn't have to dive much for that header!!!

We now drive South to all the games!
The important thing today is to come away with something as we don't want to be saying we were the best team but then the hard luck story.
We need a tough 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1 formation to stop an early goal against, being the away team keep it tight and be patient and we will be good enough to win. If Nicho goes for it straight away damage can be done and confidence lost. A draw is ok. BUT a win we need.
Third game in and we are struggling to fil the subs bench. According to Radio Devon Mcginty broke a bone in his hand at Aldershot and he is a doubt as well.
