    Harry Kite

    Do you really think that Matt Taylor is the sort of manager who is "happy to be bumbling along in mid table" ? Quite clearly you were completely blind to his highly competitive nature as both a player and manager whilst with us ! :unsure:

    SJP naming rights

    In the 50s and early 60's the roof of the OGS was emblazoned with REGENT (an oil/ petrol company of the era). I can't imagine that it was a particularly lucrative deal though, as mass air travel was in its infancy, particularly to/from Exeter Airport.

    Didn't go to the match, but went down to St David's Station on the Sunday lunch time to welcome the team back. It was packed out with someone holding up the famous banner "Thanks Banks and all the ranks" which features prominently in press photos of the time. Westward Television were in...
