12/Aug/2006 (Exeter) - Alastair Smith

The majority of supporters attending a conference game today will be wondering what the next nine months holds for their team. I am sure that both Exeter and York Supporters are no different and will both he hoping to build on last season’s finishing position just outside the play-offs. Whatever the outcome, I am sure that we are in for another roller coaster ride that will mangle our emotions again. However, spare a thought for the Crawley Town Supporters, at the time of writing their only thoughts are whether they will still have a club to support this season. Having been there ourselves, I am sure that all City supporters will have sympathy. Only time will tell, and I won’t be holding my breath, but I sincerely hope that Crawley Town find a solution and manage to compete this season.

Enjoy the game today, let’s get behind Billy and the Boys and do all we can to help the team secure three valuable points.
