Some info on this pit tonight:

 

St James Park is a football stadium in Exeter and is the home of Exeter City F.C. The stadium is served by the St James Park railway station which is right next to the ground (the line runs behind the Grandstand). (It has been adopted by the club who contribute to its upkeep, under the community rail scheme, and its railings have been painted in the red and white of Exeter's strip).

 

The current capacity of St James Park is 8,830, however the record attendance is 20,984, who watched Exeter lose 4-2 to Sunderland in an FA Cup Sixth Round Replay in 1931.

 

zzzzzzzzzzz - were is the bar...? is there one? :eek:

The kings plan:

 

We had a bad result last year against Northampton at home, and we'll do our best to avoid another bad result. We want to do the very best we can in this competition and although there will be some changes in the personnel we put out, the attitude should be exactly the same as it was on Saturday at the Emirates.

 

"We'll give people an opportunity to play. The training has been superb, as has their attitude and commitment, so they deserve a game.

 

"But it's not a game we just want to go through the motions for and fulfil our obligations in playing the fixture - we want to make sure we have a chance. We're not getting them (other players) involved because we're undermining the competition or we're undermining the football club at Exeter."

 

Paul Tisdale's side beat Yeovil 2-0 to progress to the second round but have lost their last three League One outings.

 

Last time they faced Liverpool in this competition it ended 11-0 on aggregate - with Dalglish scoring in both legs.

 

But the gaffer added: "You totally respect any team you're going to play. We've put as much effort into our preparation for this game as we did for Arsenal on Saturday.

 

"Exeter haven't had too much good luck, but they've played quite well - they've just not had any breaks at the right time. They had a difficult game on Saturday at Preston when they had a guy sent off after 20 minutes, but they only lost 1-0 and hit the bar in the second half.

 

"It's going to be difficult, but in the way we're going to approach the game we'll have no excuse for a lack of preparation."

bit weird Suarez starting tonight but not saturday if thats correct, ah well Kenny knows his stuff

 

Kenny said he made a mistake playing him from the start against Sunderland. He then gave him a good rest and he ran riot against Arsenal.

 

I imagine tonight, fully rested and raring to go he hopes he will bag a few before taking him off.

 

I'm not seeing the difficulty in understanding the logic there.
