Exeter respond to criticism
An Exeter fan has responded to criticism on the official forum about the timing and cost of the Boxing Day game at Exeter.
There is a post on there from a guy saying he's "boycotting" our game on boxing day because WE brought the KO forward and are charging AWAY fans £1 more.
Both actions are the result of the police - they "advised" (ie told us) to bring the KO forward and we cannot afford the increased costs of policing that we have to take because you are Hereford (Devon and Cornwall police don't have a clue how to handle games - I don't know how they're coping with Argyle playing teams like Leeds!).
The most important point that I need to make though, is that its not just away fans being charged £1 more - ALL prices have been raised by £1 to cover the increased policing costs. We are making a loss every week as it is, and the Man U game doesn't change that (this decision was taken months before the draw was made). As for it being all ticket for away fans - I'm not toally sure, but I would expect that being down to police "advice" again.
If someone could add that to your board Id be most grateful. I thought this had been discussed when the decision was initially made, but it seems some didn't see the explanation and so there is some confusion.
Meanwhile there is still time to obtain tickets for the Exeter away game on Boxing Day (Sunday 26th) as they can be purchased from the club until close of business on this coming Thursday. Bookings for the Supporters Coach can also be made with the club.
Tickets cost £11 or £6 for concessions. Travel on the coach is £13.
