We usually get a good amount of chat about other fixtures on matchday threads, but seeing as we're not playing today, I figured having a place to talk about today's games in our division (and FA Cup games) wouldn't be a bad thing.


League Two
Cambridge United v Stevenage
Carlisle United v Mansfield Town
Colchester United v Notts County
Crawley Town v Cheltenham Town
Macclesfield Town v Swindon Town
Morecambe v Crewe Alexandra
Yeovil Town v Bury

FA Cup
Tranmere 0–7 Tottenham (04/01)
Everton v Lincoln
Newport v Leicester (16:30, 06/01)

Also of interest
Exmouth Town v Millbrook (2:15 PM)
Preston North End v Swansea City
Torquay United v Slough Town
Exeter City Ladies v Callington (2 PM, 06/01)


Friends, Grecians, give me your score predictions.

It's currently 25c in downtown Exeter. We are covered by a high pressure zone so there's practically no wind. We've had no rainfall for 28 consecutive days and there's unbroken sunshine with very little cloud cover. City players are currently desporting themselves on the beach. Meanwhile in Torquay, it's a chilly 5c with the wind blowing gently from WNW and there's 70% grey cloud cover. There's been no rain in the last 24 hours. Plainmoor is looking about as good as it's ever going to get and the crowd at Torquay will be swollen by disgruntled Argyle supporters, whose Manager has gone off to Scotland to scout the next big think in defenders to plug a leaky defence.

[Note to Alistair]: Was this the sort of thing you had in mind ?

P.S. Torquay to extend their unbeaten run.

Stockley won’t be playing for Preston today as he already played in the cup for us and is cup tied

Exmouth Town appears to be going well
I remember watching them in the mid 80s when they twice won the league and got to the FA VASE semi final.

I recall they had a 5 year plan to improve the ground and gain promotion! It seems it’s taken 33 years so far!! But good to see them doing well again.
