We look forward to welcoming you back to SJP on Tuesday evening for the visit of Derby County.
The Gary Caldwell era at Exeter City began with a midweek goalless draw with Derby County at Pride Park. Although the clubs had met four times in the Cup this was the first league fixture against the former Premier League side!
St James Park has plenty on offer pre-matched to keep the whole family entertained and to make sure your St James Park experience is extra special.
Getting to SJP
Getting to SJP on match days (EX4 6PX – visiting fans EX4 6PU) cannot be easier.
Various Stagecoach buses drop off in Pennsylvania Road, Prince Charles Road, Sidwell Street , Old Tiverton Road and Pinhoe Road. All less than a minute from the Stadium.
There is one EXTRA train services from St David’s direct to St James Park Exeter conveniently timed for supporters at 18:53. There is also an additional return service at 22:16 for those who want to catch the other results instead of rushing for the 21:51 return.
St James Park is special under the lights and even though it is a term time fixture, reducing the number of children attending, there is still plenty on offer pre-matched to keep the whole family entertained.
Just take a look at what is available below...
Buying Tickets
Buying Tickets couldn’t be easier: online at https://newtickets.ecfc.co.uk , by phone to 01392 411243, in person at the Club Shop or on the match day from 5pm at the Fan Zone Ticket Booth.
There are principally three areas designated for Families – you are spoilt for choice. Virtually making SJP a family stadium.
The main area is our Family Block "E" in the Selco BM Main Stand. This is the traditional area for families. Located in the stand is our Junior Grecian Zone. The room is open from noon and provides a safe comfortable environment for families to enjoy pre-match entertainment, such as a large screen TVs, Playstation consoles and Table Football, as well as the option to enjoy refreshments from the Zone’s very own kiosk.
As an overspill area, when Block E is full, we now prioritise Block A in the Stagecoach Adam Stansfield Stand where you have purchased tickets. Tickets in this Block are not normally released for sale. They are retained exclusively for our City Community Trust “Community Corner” for entertaining young groups. Other tickets in this area are only released when Block E is full. (Should our current high attendances prevail this might well become a permanent arrangement going forward). The under croft of this new stand, where you have purchased tickets, has a large history display focus as well as TVs. There is also a play area.
Due to popular request, for those supporters who prefer to stand there is a designated area in the corner of our Big Bank. This might particularly appeal to families with older children who want to get closer to the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the Exeter City heart.
