Why are we so hated?

I haven't read through anyone other teams forums for years. But recently, after following a few links on here, I have delved a bit further into other supporters thoughts on us. I have to say that I am genuine shocked.

I always thought of us as being a bit of an innocuous bunch of supporters. I'd imagine it's because they are all c*%ts
Big clubs in every league are hated. Take it as a compliment  Grin

I don't think Exeter fans have any reason to hate as I seem to remember them being in financial difficulty some years ago and when we played them at the county ground we had a collection for them.

I often have trouble sleeping at night worrying about opposition fans not liking us. Deep down I only want to be loved.

It was the final game of the season at Sixfields. All a love in that day - I even have an old Exeter scarf hidden somewhere.
Following season, they brought a transit load of lads, and proceeded to take the piss, aided by a handful of visiting Leicester fans. Revert to type, kicked off the following season, with Northampton lads turning the tables!

It's only very recently (comparatively) that the Exeter Chiefs have been anything as a Rugby powerhouse. Given the stadium's half way into Somerset location (you pass it on the way down the M5) I think any significant fall from grace would see a drastic reduction in their support. Having said all that, Exeter City have never appeared to either benefit nor lose support at the hands of the Chiefs!

To be honest it's actually in a similar position to Sixfields, on the edge of the town/city next to the motorway.

Looking at the Exeter forum they are not impressed with Michael Salisbury's appointment as referee. Not quite as bad as Breakspear's 13 red cards but he has issued 9 in 28 games as well as 75 yellows.
Their results against the teams at the top have not been particularly good with only 1 win and 6 points from 5 games against the teams automatically promoted whereas we have 3 wins and 9 points from 4 games having not played away at Crewe or Plymouth. They have an identical record against the other 3 play off teams so only 2 wins from 10 games (thumping Plymouth at home 4-0 and 3-2 against us) but a lot of draws.
They have lost on their 2 previous visits to Wembley but we have only 1 win from 3 visits and have only John Frain's to celebrate.

Well TBH calling it a town, was the main snark in my comment.

But without the Weedon Road and its plethora of swanky pubs!  Cheesy

Cant wait. Burgers, sausages, chicken and pork belly's all ready. Beers as well. The same routine, precisely, as the two semi finals..

Same routine. Same squad at our gaff. We go again!  Smiley

You would think they would choose a nickname more fitting to the town. I can't imagine chiefs of any description being connected with Exeter. Perhaps Exeter Call Centres would be more appropriate.

It is a mystery as to why the egg chasers are called the Chiefs and as to how the footy folk are called the Grecians. However, there is no mystery in North (as the Wændel's people call it, even though it is south) as the soccer club was cobbled together by a bunch of teachers and lawyers - the term Cobblers was fixed for evermore. On the other hand the testicle-squeezers of Franklin Gardens could only defer title to St Here-in-Error because Simon Templar was played by a dick hence the expression 'i've been rogered by a bell-end'.

Hiya a local Exeter fan in peace, pass through Northampton every day on my commute. Lived in the area for 15 years and have a few former work buddies and neighbours who support the Cobblers. A couple of years ago did the ball in the boot of the car thing, on your pitch, and almost beat 3 of your fans...but no cigar - I was closest and one lad on the pitch was spitting feathers on the pitch ultra competitive! Ok so you are abit of a bogey team for us and you are clear favourites, I would suggest. We have lost two players to COVID issues, family sheilding and all that. Our form has been awful the last few games before the break.

So for clarity we dont hate Cobblers, we only hate Plymouth Argyle and laugh at the Torquay - if you have a Torquay mate just say Exeter 4-1 in regards to an away play-off win and watch the tears in their eyes appear. :-) As for the game on Monday all our flags were driven up yesterday in two vans. Just under 2000 cutouts placed. Look out for Ade Edmundson and the Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin. There are also a few few passed Grecians and of course Ryan Lowe in Exeter colours. Winds them up down the road no end!

As for the game I predict a 2 nil victory for your team. As always you are a bigger more physical team than us. Wembley being a bigger pitch may suit our passing style. That said at your place we were absolutely turgid. At our place was a very competitive game, and a good battle.

Should you want to ask any questions, feel free, whatever happens we are building and our academy is blossoming. Probably will lose on 16 year old Ben Chrisene again this year to Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester United. I am hoping we blood some of the kids at Wembley. Enjoy the game.

Just one question, in relation to the post immediately before yours. Why are you nicknamed The Grecians?

Actually, a second question too! Why would you consider us the favourites? I think a lot of Cobblers supporters think the other way around.
