Ska Junkie Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 I would imagine, especially if its pouring down, that they would just move any segregation and move the Exeter fans from the terrace into the cow shed. Numbers sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjmcity Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Struck me today that it must be nearly 25 years since they were last above us? Sadly it’s not quite the full 1/4 century and we are entering the 24th year of utter dominance. Now can’t get out of my head theres just one team in bristol thats all you need to know theres a team that plays in filton but I just don’t want to know because for 24 years we’ve been looking down on the rovers (rovers? Who the **** are rovers) OTIB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 If need be Rovers could ask people on the uncovered Pop Terrace if they would like to go into the South Stand. It would show the club cares about fans in addition to helping to increase capacity. #gaslogic 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 gas logic also dictates that if johnny numnuts starts off in a tent then moves to the stand,he will count as occupying 2 spaces, record attendance tonight maybe?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this time tomorrow night Wally might have to walk up Filton Ave knocking on doors asking for volunteers. Potential new excuse as well, they’ve used rain before but now… Edit: DOUBLE new excuse klaxon! 1) Windy 2) There are other home games coming up. We may mock [often] but "windy" is a consideration [& its not the backdraft they experience pulling out of their nan's rear] all those temporary tenty structures and white plastic chairs blowing around quicker than Chris Martin running down the wing must be quite scary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a question they should all be asking themselves, but they're not because they assume that they will do it because they "love the gas, innit".

You can see where the attraction is for a lot of people." Not even a brand new stand (with seats) can tempt them to attend So the test events prove the safety aspects but the new stand is, in a way, a test for the supporter base too. I imagine the new owner will take an interest in the response and then judge the need for further spending from there. Probably a free pass tonight based on the weather forecast. On a sunny day in April he will want to see more demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our average is 22,179 so far this season which is just over 82% capacity. Their meagre average is currently 8,039 which is 73% capacity (based on 11k capacity, probs more now with their massive new cow shed) Why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot ?

Be awful for our neighbours if they had to stump up compo wouldnt it... It’s been noted on the Exeter fans forum.

ExiledAjax Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Seems to now be a suggestion that due to inclement weather everyone attending will crowd into the new stand in order to tip it over the 75% required for the test. So, just to confirm. The entire crowd might just about fill 75% of one stand. Need a bigger stadium lads. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
