Wemberley, Wemberley
I know that you will be all really keen to know that Exeter City from the Conference have made it to Wembley for the first time in their 100 plus years of history. They beat Jim Smiths Oxford over two legs, extra time and penalties in the play-off semi final game of incredible tension.
I will be chartering a plane for the NZ Grecians so we can all
get to Wembley so please let me know how many want to come.
Whatever you write below really doesn't matter
because....
Wemberley, Wemberley,
we're the mighty Exeter
and we're going to Wemberley.

We've been allocated 20000 tkts with more if neccessary. Our
average home gate is about 3000.
All indications are that we will require more than the
20000.
There are at least two (unrelated and we didn't know each
other) travelling from NZ.
Football - don't you just love it?
"Nutter"
Yep! Just love it.
Who are yer?
Who are yer?
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
we're going to Wemberley
Que sera sera

LOL. You have been given 20000 tickets with 3000 on average

the rim ... with air! Nahh good luck and i think its awsome that
there're supporters of conference football, well done and i hope
you win mate.

Fair play to you mate.
We're just going for the fun and the sense of occasion. After
a lifetime of following Exeter City I never expect to win
anything.
Cheers
Firstly congratulations on reaching the final Exeter City. I
well remember trips to Exeter following Colchester United over the
years and was sad when they lost league status. In the first
two seasons down I was sure they would get back but it didnt
happen!
Beating Oxford is no mean feat. I had them as favourites for the title at the beginning of the season and there is no doubt they are the "super club" of the Conference right now in terms of finance and support.
Exeter must now be favourites as Morecambe are not really League material in my opinion. If Morecambe go up they will be down in one or two seasons. Exeter are more likely to emulate Doncaster and Yeovil if they go up.
The crowd will amaze the uninitiated - I would fully expect a 35k crowd (split 70% for Exeter).

Cheers for that mate. Apparently we've sold out of our original
20000 tkt allocation so you may well be right about the crowd.
I'm looking forward to it - it'll be a great day.
Always kept an eye on Exeter due to the Orient/Inglethorpe
connection. I know he's now with Spurs academy but I've always
thought he's a O's manager of the future, probably will be if and
when Martin Ling goes.
Who's in charge now, still Tisdale/Perryman? And have you
shaken off the Uri Geller connections yet?
Bloody hell - don't ask. Probably the most embarrassing moment in
City's history - if not football's.
Yeah, Perryman/Tisdale are still there although Tisdale is the
manger and Perryman acts purely as a 'voluntary advisory' capacity.
Whatever that is. We've always been suspicious that it's really
Perryman who pulls the strings.
Sir Alex Inglethorpe is much respected in Exeter. He completed
the feat of holding Man Untd to a draw at Old Trafford
although his constant tinkering and rotation policy (don't you have
to have a decent squad to have a 'rotation policy') is
suspected of not getting into the play-off's for the last two
seasons.
Hope to see you back in the League, replacing Torquay, you'll
love that I'm sure.
It always amazes the unaware the sorts of crowds the lower
divisions in Englandcan attract. If you think of a club like, say,
the aforementioned Torquay, 92nd best team in England but can still
average crowds of around 3000. Quite phenomenal really.
Hope to see you back in the League, replacing Torquay, you'll
love that I'm sure.
Yeah for sure -although our real target is Plymouth.
Ah, how I admire unrestrained optimism. I've been wearing that hat
for years.
Hard luck Exeter Grecian. You were right about the crowd
though a huge 40k one.
You can fight for next years Conference title with Oxford.
Morecambe have no chance of long term survival in League and will be back down this year or next.

Yeah cheers mate,
just got back -hence the late reply.
We lost but it was still worth it. If your team ever gets to
Wembley then I swear you have just got to, got to, go. The
experience was incredible.
We took over 30,000 fans out of a total crowd of 40,000.
Morecambe won the first half but we were the better side in the
second, pushing for the winner and they scored a break away goal of
brilliant quality that he will never be able to do again and 99
times out of 100 would end up in the row Z. It was the 86th minute
and just too late to recover.
As we all know there is no justice in football.
But I repeat....the new Wembley is the mecca for all
football fans. If you have a chance to go then it should be
done.
Exeter Grecians have something to do with Greeks?
sorry?
