Shouldn't need to with GJ back - he was excellent before his injury.

Yes he was and Mbete is cover for that side. By emergency I meant an injury to Jones or Bradley on the other side, assuming Jones would go to wing back if Bradley was injured. 

Anyway forget Wembley just as excited for tomorrow another 5am start for the big players

2-1

Normally it would be about 4-5 hour drive but it’s Good Friday and the roads will be rammed; get away earlier

Couldn't have planned a more inconvenient game for the day.

Yes it’s a long one but just think if it was Plymouth which is another hour or so away. I am probably only 2 hours drive away but going on the train tomorrow 

Should be an interesting team selection, perhaps with a few of the cup tied players getting involved. Team that played on Sunday was well suited to the wide spaces of Wembley, but Exeter is a much smaller pitch - that may be ideal for someone like Shoretire.

Horrendous journey for Good Friday with people heading for Cornwall etc.

6AM for us.

Sacked off the train & now staying over.

Echo the comments about Good Friday traffic. We once drove north on the M5 on GF and all southbound was a complete car park

and vice versa 

we had Morecambe away on GF in 2016.

Half fans got there around HT and some coaches gave up at Manchester and came back.

Be careful what time hitting Bristol as Cribbs Causeway will be busy around 9.

Yoof been informed away fans will be directed to St Anne’s Well nearer ground.

Not sure if same for you lot but smaller than the spoons

Us boys go where we want😀

it looks a decent little place tbf 

Leave a 6am guys, get there early, do some sunbathing outside the pub (don't occupy the boating lake  ), have a few drinks, get to the ground   easy

Apart from being down by quay or down double locks it ain’t a bad shout.

Bluebell opposite side of Mway from Chiefs ground is very good and does breakfast if very early 

Were setting of from Bristol at 9am, its only 80 miles away. A roads best bet from here.

Interested to see how this one plays out. Two options - we are either caught cold with celebrations having taken too great a toll or we are so brimming with confidence that we pull off a memorable win. Hopefully the latter.

3rd option - its just another game, unaffected either way by the previous match 😊

Can already see the headlines if we lose - "Wembley hangover" etc - but we could have played Exeter away at any time this season and lost (or won, or drawn), they're a decent team and our away form is iffy.

At least Exeter play football which gives us a decent chance. Wouldn't have fancied going to Burton 1st game back after Wembley

If we do lose here we are then on an awful league run.

7 games - 5 points is relegation form.

We simply must get something & I think we will.

Imperial (Spoons) near train station is massive with a huge beer garden.

I had lunch there last Saturday.
