Our longest away trip

[David Holden]

Used to be Morecambe, but won't be next season!

 

Congratulations to the Shrimpers and good luck in the league

[Red Neck]

Well Done! Of the teams I saw, Morecambe were far and away the best footballing side who visited Stonebridge Road.

 

Best of luck, and best wishes.

[Riverview Supporter]

Decent fish and chips up there though , so not all good news. Good to see a club who have a history of non league football go up and not an ex league club. havent been to Exeter (only one I missed away :-) ) so looking forward to that next season

I for one think it's a great shame that a team as massive and deserving as Exeter of being in the Championship with clubs of their own size and history should once again find themselves playing at a level far beneath them again next season.

 

Har de har har har...

Just like to agree with all above comments - congrats to Morecambe, good luck for next season, and heh heh heh to Exeter, couldn't happen to a better club - unless it's Oxford

[seaviewred]

Congratulations Shrimpers, you throughly deserved your win today, best of luck in the league.

[seaviewred]

All the best for your new venture into the football league, you throughly deserved it on todays performance

[Harry J Allstars]

Congratulations to Morecambe, a fantastic game it was too.

 

Since the Play Offs started in the Conference they have all been contested with at least one Ex-League Club in the final. This year is the first time a Club with no League history has beaten an Ex-League Club.

[Hirsty]

Your avatar is a bit crap H. Surely we expect better from one of our "senior members" ?

 

Cheers,

Congrats to Morecambe, and at last Wembley saw a proper final!! Not like the debacle that was Saturday. A thoroughly entertaining game, and not a bad advert for Non League Football.

What about the Trophy final?

This Exeter-baiting is rather childish. I can't see what people's problem is with them - a couple of individuals give out some billy-big-time comments on their forum before each of our games against them (par for the course for pretty much every match, and often probably wind-ups), and suddenly their fans are all tarred with the same brush. I only hope your post was satirically acknowledging this fact, Stu.

I for one will be looking forward to another trip to St James' Park next season. It's a shame one of the two had to go up - I'll miss 'Bring Me Sunshine', Eric Morecambe impersonators and the pies at Christie Park.

[Fleetbabe]

The Trophy final was of course another excellent advert for non league football, but the fact that there was so much more at stake, and that it was after the 'official' opening of the stadium, gave the play off final that extra edge.

 

I'll definitely miss the trip to Morecambe next year. One of the best away days I've had, without doubt. Everyone was so friendly, just the sort of club that perfectly apitomises our league and what it's about. Also, behind Macca, Jim Bentley has got to be far and away my captain of the season. He's Morecambe through and through, and it shows when he's on the pitch. Good luck to them next season, and lets hope that we're one of the sides joining them after next season.

I've never subscribed to the fact that baiting other teams had to be sensibly observed and based on fact. Much easier to lump 'em all in for the sake of cheap points-scoring...

[Bill Kent]

Congrats to Morecambe. I feel sorry for the fans of Exeter, but pleased that they and the other former league clubs never made it. Selfish of me I know, but the former league clubs have a big following and are helpful in increasing the number of fans through the turnstiles when they play away. So thanks former league clubs for realising that our league is not so tinpot.

 

LESS WE FORGET.

 

FOLLOW THE FLEET

From a purely mercenary point of view Exeter bring more fans = more income to Stonebridge road, also we have had a few good results against them (although none to match the 6:0 against Morecombe a few years back).

Best of luck to Morecombe and Daggers and look forward to seeing Exeter again next season.

Two trips down to South Devon next season it is then. Unless its Torquay Away on a Saturday and Exeter Away the following Tuesday night .... an extra long weekend then!

[Bitch]

Stay away from the 'Pop Side' at Torquay, they reckon they are really 'hard'
