Unless the price difference is massive I would not recommend Waterloo , I went that way to Yeovil which was painfull enough , Exeter is another hour away on top of that .
Have you got a family rail card ? If you have you can even buy reasonably priced tickets on the day itself.
You should be able to do much better than the fares Clem has quoted, Steve.
One useful little trick that can sometimes save you money is to buy 2 x special price each way single tickets online (not the standard single!)........you'd be surprised at the different prices available online with different ticket agencies.
And .......certain train times are cheaper than others. But you must travel on the train specified.

Exeter Central, if you are travelling from Waterloo,is closer than St Davids.If you can get to St James station Exeters ground is practically outside the station.If memory serves me right I think more trains stop at St James station on match days.
For people getting excited about a cup run, fifth round day is Tranmere away so a little warning there for people looking to book advance tickets like I have.
I have always traveled by train when going to away games but am considering changing to getting 'Megabus' would be interested to see people's reviews and experiences of megabus.

Got MB to Sheffield for the Hillsborough away game and it was fine tbh. We had 2l coke bottles with some vodka poured in and it was fine, you couldnt really drink beer though. As long as you're going to a main city the journey time shouldn't be too bad and if you book miles in advance then it'll cost next to nothing. Wouldn't do journeys of more than 3hrs mind.

You got to Sheffield on megabus within 3 hours? how did you manage that? turbo bus or something ^^? Takes at least 4 hours when i go to york, and thats by car

London to Sheffield is 3 hours or 3 1/2 hours by megabus, it's cheap but the coaches are invariably filthy

Megabus also offer a train service, I went to Notts County last season for £2.50 return!

Not a big fan of coaches but they can work out VERY cheap all for the sake of not too much longer than a train(at times)

Best advice - do your homework and shop around.
Edit NSS beat me to it, and Steve, Ugg boot boy was on that said CLIT.
Instead there's an exit from the other end of the platform, which takes you towards the ground, 10 minutes or so walk.
