Not seen such Bravery!
We are mid table in the lower of the 2 divisions of the top U23 league.
That is not 'very poor' although there is room for progress.
We have been disappointing in the Checkatrade trophy, though.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Admit it - you have no idea of other U-23 results this season, do you?

Damn. Just opened the 'Exeter' link and found it was POTG, and cheap - they were actually wanting and inviting people to turn up and watch their youngsters, unlike it seems, at times, The Albion.. If I'd known earlier, I could have booked a hotel and hopped on a cheap train.............

I don't understand what you are saying with this post; Exeter were charging £10 for adults and £6/£4 for concessions:-

Albion, on the other hand, charge £5 for adults and £2 for concessions for U-23 matches - THREE UNDER-23 GAMES ON SALE NOW
Am I missing something?

Tickets available to STHs, points, or even just having to buy tickets on line in advance - it's just a different (in every sense) ball game. So, for me, is travel to Exeter.

That was Exeter's youngsters not first team squad? ��

So you are quite happy going online to make multiple posts on a thread on NSC, but going online to get a free (if you're a season ticket holder) ticket to an Albion U-23 game is a pain?
And you would rather pay twice as much at Exeter if it is POTG than half as much at Albion if you have to get the ticket online first?
Okay - seems completely contray to me, but whatever floats your boat.

They don't have an U-23 side as such. It was a mixture of experience, first-team squad members and youngsters, eg Craig Woodman is 34 and has made over 180 appearances for Exeter, 4 others have at least 5 league appearances, and a couple had not appeared for the first team.

Not quite the way you're putting it - it is rather more complicated than that. But basically yes, if somebody is offering me a price I'm happy with, POTG and no messing, and a manageable journey it is a massive positive for me.
Group stage The tournament will be split into eight groups of four clubs, with each team playing their opposing clubs home and away. The top two teams advance to the knockout stage.
Knockout stage The last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will all be one-off knockout ties. If the ties are level after 90 minutes, they go to extra-time and then penalties if the teams still can't be separated.

No I dont and just look at our results when they are on here but I would expect us to beat Exeter at any level.
