Lee MartinI can understand why people would favour local-ish Colchester but i`m with you, shotshy. Fancy a trip to Exeter and a stay-over somewhere like Exmouth. Couple of ex-Gills currently with Exeter too, I think.
League 2 playoffs start tonight.
I’m desperate for Exeter to win them.
With Plymouth already promoted, local (ish) games.
Weirdly, if the season had of stopped two weeks earlier, it would have been Exeter promoted and Plymouth in the playoffs.

His parents are regulars in my 'spoons in Petts Wood. Often have a nice chat with them. Hope Exeter go up.for their sakes. Otherwise Colchester for me - fond memories of going therefrom thepromotion game in'74 to even the 0 5 in a sick masochistic kind of way.Lee Martin

I listened to the Grecians match live on Talksport and to be fair, it sounded like a bit of a stinker.Watched most of both games. The standard was really poor, considering they're supposed to be some of that division's best sides. It reminded me why being in League 2 is so grim!
Both games were summed up by a long punt which in a rare moment actually found a striker. He raised his foot to control it and shanked it straight into touch a good 10 yards away!
Talking of long-throws, can anyone remember Les Riggs? He could throw the ball to the far post!Agree that neither game was a great watch. But, maybe because the wait had been so long, I found myself enjoying them nevertheless. Talking of long punts, the central defender for Cheltenham, Tozer, had an enormous throw ! A challenger for longest throw-in in pro football i`d have thought ? Only draw back was the lack of two big central defenders in the box to receive the long throw - from the big central defender ..........
Play offs are sometimes dramatic but rarely provide quality football. Exeter must be the pick to win for most of us now. A weekend in Devon next spring would do nicely, drinks on shotshy.
