Exeter City’s first match away from home in October sees them make the trip to Cheshire to take on Crewe Alexandra.
STADIUM: ALEXANDRA STADIUM (CW2 6EB)
The stadium has a capacity of 10,066, all seated. The main stand dominates the stadium and holds around 70 per cent of this capacity by itself. The away fans will be in the Whitby Morrison Ice Cream Van Stand which can hold 1,680 supporters. The entrance is ticket only and will not accept cash from fans. Tickets can be purchased from the booth next to the supporters’ club at the entrance to the stand. Alcohol is not available in this stand, so if you are looking to drink it will have to be before or after the game in one of the local pubs.
