Why can't we just say well done to the 700 Exeter fans on traveling to Doncaster and seeing their side clinch a Play Off Place, why are we even being mentioned????

I think its because some on here always make excuses, by saying distance or time of match yet it happens to all clubs fans, they don't moan about it,they just get on with it and turn out in good numbers away from home.
Little Bury near the bottom of Div one yesterday took 550 fans away to Southend, (500 mile rd trip), Bury are a really small club (use to take 50 away fans)but like most small clubs nowadays their support has increased vastly and ours has cut in half and not because of distance or times,because the truth is our support has been broken over the last 7yrs and thats the truth.
We use to travel to Tranmere,Halifax,Southend,Northampton,Halifax all on Friday nights away, I was at those grounds at least on five occasions each one of them, we never moaned, we just went and were actually excited about going
Clubs like Exeter,Carlisle,Bury,Grimsby etc etc have had NO success at all and were very very small clubs to us years ago,yet their support has not just remained its increased year after year.

Nah sorry, I'm not buying it, some people are just ultra negative about our fans and our support and whatever we do or take will just never be good enough.
Pointing out the blatantly obvious is not making excuses either, Huddersfield at 12 on a Sunday is inconvenient for many fans. That's not an excuse but a statement of fact.
Newport took 300 odd to Carlisle and you said it was a pathetic following, Bury in a division higher and in a similar circumstances take a couple of hundred more to Southend and you think it's good, how does that work?
We take 2,000 odd to Bristol City and its negative not positive, we take 2,500 to Reading and its not enough should be 4,000. Always the same.
I have no idea why on a thread about Exeter City someone wants to have a pop at our fans yet again, I have no idea what the motive is or what people think is being achieved but believe me when I say it's counter productive.
