***Away Day Review: Exeter City FC 1 – 2 Rochdale AFC (Devon Tour) Part 2***

As we were driving to St James Park i asked the Taxi Driver to take me to the nearest pub which ended up being The Wells Tavern the taxi should of cost £17.20 but the nice man called it £15 as the fare thing i were in the pub for 1PM on the dot and asked what non-alcohol drink were on offer the best option seems J2O which set me back £1.90 so i got a purple one then sat down and watch Manchester United mess up their cup hopes against them Posh Londoners from Chelsea, which Chelsea scored i think every Rochdale & Exeter City Fan cheered then just as the game finished, i finished the drink off then made my way upto the Football Ground and got my Terracing Ticket from the Ticket Booth because everyone had to get a ticket

I went to the turnstiles their behind goal terracing looked very poor as i carried on walking up our Striker Ashley Grimes got put through the stand and was not moving, he were just passed out which were kinda scary but he were okay in the end and walked past the ground with Gary Thompson then got back into the game Rochdale missed 3 Good Chances in the 1st Half the best one came from Cansdell-Sherriff with a header what hit the post then in the 43 seconds of the 3 Minutes of Extra Time of the First Half Exeter City’s Jamie Cureton scored giving Exeter a 1-0 lead then the whistle went for Half Time

The second half saw Kevin McIntyre subbed for Joe Rafferty, all of a sudden it got very cold in the stand. I were standing with our programme editor, he were asking how my weekend went i said; i spent 2 days in bed, their goalkeeper Artur Krysiak were starting to look The Man of the Match after missing a couple more good chances in the 63rd Minute Exeter subbed Guillem Bauza for Lawson D’Ath, Rochdale didn’t look any better then just 2 Minutes after Exeter Substitution in the 65th Minute Keith Hill made a surprise Sub Jason Kennedy for Joe Thompson who missed a couple of shots aswell it started getting cold to the point were i could feel my mental plate and screws my leg kept stop moving so i had to keep getting it going then in the 87th Minute just before the end Ian Henderson scored another cracking goal then there were 4 Minutes Extra Time added and Bobby Grant scored then winner with just about 30 seconds of the game remaining the Referee held on abit longer than 4 Minutes to blow the whistle but he eventually did i could barely walk out so i took my time when walking out then took my time to get to to train station
