Any decent pubs? Far too many good ones to choose!
For a Wetherspoon, try The Punchbowl. About 5 minutes from the station, and the opposite direction from the football ground. The Maltings, which is a short walk from the station and on the way to Bootham Crescent is also a popular pub for Exeter City fans.
There is a supporters Club at the ground that generally admits away fans, and serves a real ale.
The Tap and Spile comes recommended. As does the Old Grey Mare.
