if you could guarantee that we will clear the first round of the play offs what would you chose, a play off final or automatic?

personally I think we are stronger this year then ever so I'd rather hit the play offs. love a good Wembley trip

Even though I've already booked my accommodation in London for the play off weekend, I'd still rather go up automatically. I'll just enjoy the egg chasers instead. I can't be dealing with another Wembley defeat.

Automatic please. Winning at Wembley is great, but losing there is just awful. Anyway I've got things to do next month, so not sure I could get to the play off games anyway.

maybe I'm being selfish in wanting a good day out over promotion. but still, I'd like a win at Wembley again

Automatic. No brainer.

Wouldn't be massively disappointed with a play off final IF it was held at Old Trafford or basically any ground in the country that isn't in the London area.

Most Exeter fans (I know you're not included in this) have been to Old Trafford when we played them in the FA Cup.

So on that basis, I'd much rather the Etihad, or if we're including London areas, the Emirates.

In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
Automatic promotion.
I do not like Wembley,generally just a very expensive day out.The pubs around the area are all crap as well(Green Man,what a awful beer hall)

If we do go down the play off route & get to the final,I will be giving it a miss..

Etihad would be great, or Anfield. I've been to Old Trafford twice. Once for the Torquay v Stevenage play off final and once in the away end with a Sheff Wednesday fan friend.

Just easier to get to (generally although I appreciate most fans will be coming from the SW) and lot less hassle than Wembley but any ground really that's a fair size.

Surely you drink at the Globe in Baker Street? That seems to be where the party is at before the tube to Wembley.
