'El Crapico'...Match Build Up.

Anyone on here going? I'll be happy with a point but feel 3 is a real possibility, what a magical feeling that would be, cementing our place as the undisputed giants of Devon football

Im going, mite wear my Argyle onesie

For the first time in many a year. I can't even get excited about this match. The match I always used to get excited about, look forward to all season, meet mates for a beer or 10 before the game etc.

WTF has happened? Is it just me? Why do I feel like this? by the great beard of Zeus - I can't explain!!

I'll prolly, put my feet up, open a bottle of Jack Daniels Honey, smoke a cigar the size of a traffic cone and listen to Credence Clearwater Revival.

I'm going but losing interest in the so called derby. We play them too much for it to be special.

Wonder how the loud the anti/pro Luke McCormick chants will be

Looking for a spare ticket but might travel down anyway - closest game of the season for me so have a beer down there if cant get in!!

Get in the 'big bank' bhey!

failing that just pop down the off licence buy a few cases of special brew and go and watch the game from a students living room that over looks the whole pitch from the away end.

The next instalment of the Devon Derby will be played this coming Saturday (21st February 2015). The match is All our tickets sold out 

Officials

Referee: Graham Scott
Assistant Referees: Chris Powell and Timothy Wood
Fourth Official Kevin Johnson

The 46-year-old referee is part of the Berks and Bucks FA and is now on the list of Premier League referees, though he’s only officiated the one game (between Burnley and Aston Villa). He opened the season with Cambridge United’s 1-0 win over us.

It is dodgy weather forecast most of the week, so pitch may be a bit heavy. Who will it suit?

Whoever plays long ball the best as i cant see either playing much football on a heavy pitch.

El Crapico.

Made me smile.

Hope it's not too cold for you brave souls.

Sounds like you have tried that tactic before then

There are only two matches this season that I'd class as worthy of 'looking forward to'....

Portsmouth (h)

&

Portsmouth (a)

Everything else is just a reminder of how shite PAFC has become.

And yes, playing Exeter with any modicum of regularity is indeed a cast iron barometer of how shite we've become.

What makes this certain fixture much worse is the way D & C conduct the whole day. They go over the top with actual police numbers on duty, treating Argyle fans like they are dirt in the process.

Is it easier and less hassle just to walk to the ground from St David's, or is it quicker to change platforms and train it to central ?

Best way if coming from Plymouth, is get off at Newton Abbot and catch the Paignton to Exmouth train and get off at Central, there missing the DC at ST David.

There will be a great many police situated at St. David's and i do not know if they let you roam around from the train station. They may escort those that have come by train up to the designated pub or give directions to it ?.

The numerous times that i have been to Exeter was by car. On driving past the train station you did notice the large police numbers inside and outside St David's.

Unfortunately for those of us who associate a nice pre-match pint, either for social or medication reasons, you should steer clear of St Davids. Do as TGWU suggests and have a lovely day. Either that or stay in Somerset on the Friday and drink yourself into oblivion with Bandy by Axminster.

Over 60 can catch the bus to Exeter and it free, leaves Plymouth at    0645 0845 1045 1245 and arrives in Exeter bus station at 0824 1024 1224 1424.  Last bus back 1805. Or catch bus to Exeter and a single train back 1819 1849 1933 1949 train cost £7.90 £7.40 £7.90 £4.20
