"I take ie Exeter is down Plymouth way then"

"Decent draw that really. Another quirky place to go."

"I bet Exeter are thrilled................................not!"

"I think there is a fellow on here from Okehampton that is happy to give Boro fans tours of the moors accompanied by his famous Hound "

Certainly wont be a sell out as I can't see more than 500 boro fans coming down mid week?

Big club. I would have thought so

I wouldn’t be surprised if they flew down from Newcastle to exeter,stayed over after then travel down to plymouth

Four home draws on the spin.
What are the odds on that? 16-1 I reckon.

And with a pattern (of sorts)

Crawley Town
Stevenage Borough
Luton Town
Middlesb(o)rough

Ipswich Town or Mansfield Town at home in the quarter final then I guess.

Absolutely - I have some tickets as I presume they had prepared some mock ones in case we won the replay

Given the problems selling tickets manually, they were printed in advance to ease the process. Even better was that we had already printed tickets for the Man Utd replay and shocked them by handing over their allocation BEFORE the Old Trafford match ! A Conference team we may have been but it certainly made a big statement of intent to them !

All lovely places
I wonder if the Borough fans will be singing 'Exeters a shithole' like the Luton fans did last night (presumably ironically)

Added to that, I did the Old Trafford museum tour on the Friday afternoon before the match and one Ian Huxham was also on the tour. At the end the when the guide was wrapping up Huxham thanked him and said he was welcome to tour our museum at the replay. How he laughed.
