There was the occasional direct one at funny times, but I'm not sure they still do them. Haven't been back to Exeter since I stopped living their 3 years ago. Madness.

Better idea as you'd have problems getting back late on a tuesday night.

Is it a mid-week game? If not then the Old Fire House (which isn't too far from the ground), used to do bottles of house wine for a fiver. Not sure if it still does obviously. Was an ace little pub.

Yup, still does.  Was there last night for a few bottles and their ace wood-fired pizzas.

That news makes me happy and sad at the same time. I wonder if they'll let me go back and finish my degree.

Looked at the train times the other day and it would seem the last train from Exeter is at half past midnight and you won't be able to get back to Swindon until 6am. Deffo a no go unless there's another route or something.

I'm pretty sure you can't get back on the train. And you don't want to get stuck in Bristol overnight!!
