Exeter is a great city. Well happy to see them up.
Never deserved to be out of the league. Theyve just got to watch it doesnt go to their heads now, and start thinking they should gamble on another promotion. Happens so often after successive promotions that chairman think they cant go wrong and rack up a massive debt.

Yep. If I were them I'd happily settle for finishing 20th next season - staying up has to be the priority |

I can't recall Exeter having been as high as the second tier....I'd imagine they'll be happy to hang around in L1 for a bit...they'll be on my list of relegation candidates. We haven't played them in a league game since 85/86, so that'll be fun. |

Hmmmm, another (relatively) close away game next season......
I really love the games at Exeter, easy ground to get to, less than 30 miles from me  always have good games against them, the only slight minus point is that its an open bank that loses a lot of atmosphere....the new home end is awesome though and can create loads of noise. |

Think all 4 that come up may find it hard to stay up, be ones around the bottom this year again, Yeovil, orient and Hartlepool, plus Oldham i reckon also.

Teams which come up quickly from the conference tend to do OK for a season or so before dropping down don't they?
I'm not sure what I'm basing that on other than a feeling of vague chance that there's some evidence to back that statement up.

I think the reason is that there is very little difference between most of the Conference and most of League 2, so they can do well. League 1 is a larger step up. We saw in Phil Smith a player who did well in League 2 (after signing form non-league) but has struggled in League 1 (until recently). His recent good form may mean he's improved from that Conference/League 2 level. I hope so. |

Oh, OK. In that case, they do well on a run of success, which sustains them beyond their means for a season or two, until the reality of the size of their crowds and budgets catch up with them (when their best players leave for better money, and they can't replace them). How's that?

Along with Exeter - Yeovil, Cheltenham, Doncaster, Carlisle, Rushden have done quick promotions after leaving Non-League.
