Can't imagine it will be a big crowd, we have nothing to play for and Exeter never bring a huge following. I'd guess just over 3000 with about 450-600 away fans given they are chasing the play offs.

The car park is full and that was announced two days ago.
Exeter are in a position where they must win, a position in the table which is fragile to hold.
Cheltenham fans got the bug back after two great home wins and want to see more.
Be surprised if the gate is under 4250.

The feel good factor is returning to Whaddon Road.
Almost a local derby for Exeter.
Grand National after the match.
No rugger at Kingsholm.
Decent weather forecast.

4,000

Think you're gonna be some way off with that attendance Robin. Exeter wounded after last week's big loss, we're improving all the time. A good test for us.
Coupled with other reasons posted, 4300 realistic.
Really looking forward to it

We had 2900 home fans last game so you may be right, still can't see much more than 3500 but hope to be wrong.

Can't remember this restriction ever being implemented before so one imagines that there is an intelligence led reason.


Doesn't mention anything about drums or flares though.

Flares are illegal and banned from every football ground 100% of the time whatever the expected attendance so no need to mention them in relation to this game specifically.

This Saturday will be the day of days (if the Lord tarries)

Attendance 4321

Score Ctfc 2 ecfc 1 (Boyle and Varney)

Pentafold:

Ipswich away at Bolton (if it goes ahead)
Millwall
Cheltenham town
Hamilton Academicals
Berwick Rangers

Lottery numbers 4, 9, 17, 28, 39, 47

Weather set fair

Exeter to have a chap sent off on 61 minutes

FGR to lose 3-1 away

No break through expected on Brexit this weekend I’m afraid

In a forest a tree will fall and nobody will hear it...I say it HAS made a sound

Bad news for the Cheltenham Flyers :)

An update a few days ago showed Exeter had sold 625 tickets already so I’d imagine closer to 800 on the day.
I’ll say around 3750 crowd.

Is 3700 considered a big crowd now? For me that's 5000+.

3,700 is big. Well above average.

I was going to bring my lad along to his first game, but as the club are expecting it to be akin to Millwall v West Ham, perhaps I'll give it a miss.

Matt Taylor's return to Whaddon Road, of course.

the start of half term could either help or harm

Interesting that despite a number of years of terrible shite football our crowds are only slightly below Newport who have had a couple of years of well above expectation success in the cups. Hopefully our attendances will gradually increase again and we get back to a 4000 average.

A good turnout and hope for similar in the last two home games.

The pitch at Newport will knock a few hundred off the gate mind. Same way it contributed to our declining crowds during our recent low ebb.

1,102 in the away end and side, so still just shy of 3,000 home fans.

I don’t expect Oldham to bring that many but think Swindon will bring more - even if a hundred or so end up being counted as home supporters.

I would like to think the Swindon game will be 4500. Last home game and a local derby should perk interest in the home areas and we can expect them to sell the full away end of 1300.
