Tiny allocation it is then  :( .
It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.
Oh, and always remember to defecate on those Vile chaps in claret and spew.

Typical of this to come the season when the club decide to start issuing loyalty points for travelling on club coaches.

Looks like it'll be a struggle for most to get tickets.

Why on earth the 15% can't be honoured is beyond me, and if it can't then they should have to give up more, if that means a whole stand then so be it.

I do hope the Albion contest Exeters appeal to be exempt from the 15%, but as always they'll disappoint and won't.

Has to be a strong case for a change of venue, particularly given safety / segregation considerations

Not sure there will be a case for either. If they're allocating seats in the stand on one side of the pitch they either allocate us the standard 300 that they do for league games or they move the segregation up a couple of blocks to allow for more tickets to be sold. There's no way it will be moved, it's just unfortunate we're playing them the season they decide to knock half their ground down.

Just our luck. The first season in a while we get a decent lower league away tie and we draw the club with half a ground.

They'll be looking for the replay to get as much revenue as possible. My mate at work is an Exeter fan and said their manager has already come out and said he wants to bump the prices up for the game so that they can sign a player in the January window! Apparently when they played Man Utd, it kept the finances ticking over for a couple of years.

Edit: I see they have already increased the prices for the home fans.

Exeter City's 'normal' pricing is £16 per adult on the terraces and £22 seated.

https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/2017/june/matchday-prices-for-201718-season/

However, when they played Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup in 2015 they charged £23 per head on the terraces and a frankly extortionate £37 for those in the seats.

http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/tickets/200817-exeter-city-v-liverpool-ticket-details

Two years further down the line and this could prove to be a pricey day for those 'fortunate' enough to take a sting to the wallet.

Looks like we may have more than 350 tickets. Blocks L and M are the away fans blocks, however for this game Exeter are not selling Block K to home fans.

If it is the 380 tickets they state on their forum, what are the club going to do about all the away season ticket holders? I'd presume we had more than 380 of them. Bit of a joke really.

As I said, the first time in ages we get a decent away draw in the cup and we draw the lower league side who've knocked half their ground down.

We have around 180 away season ticket holders

I reckon Boro away for the mid week game last season should be retrospectively boosted too  ;) .

Went to Exeter in 1991 on my 21st Birthday  ;) ( one of the 5,830 in attendance). Having given up my season ticket under Pulis, can not see me making the trip this time.

I wonder if they could/would show the game on the big screens at the Hawthorns?

They are plenty big enough and clear enough and I assume able to be viewed well from the Halfords?

Or the big screen in the fanzone even? Though I suspect that would get pretty crowded

Just a thought
