    City tour to the Netherlands in 1925

    The story of our 1914 trip to Argentina and Brazil is very well documented. But I'm curious to learn more about the tour to the Netherlands a few years later. I copy below some info from wiki, but there's little else I can find. Can anyone signpost me to more information please? 2025 will...

    Plymouth Tickets (H)

    A question I’m hoping someone knows the answer to… I want to buy some seats for the argyle game for myself and some mates. We’re all Gold priority, but how can we arrange that the seats are all together, without all logging on at the same time and booking ours seats individually? Ie can one...

    Playing budget

    I copy below the comments from Nick Hawker from the Trust AGM at the weekend, in reference to the playing budget. He said that MT requested a budget of £1.75m and that we then offered an extra £0.5m over three years (£166k / year), so a total of £1.917m. I'm utterly confused by the line that we...

    SJP capacity

    I've pinched John's useful post above from another thread as it probably warrants its own space. If we are regularly attracting 6k home fans to SJP and the limit is 6.8k, do we really need to start considering realistic options of increasing the capacity at SJP? We are riding a wave in terms of...

    Taggy in the Athletic

    There's an article in the Athletic today about the rise in energy bills for football clubs in which Taggy has been interviewed. It's behind a paywall, however. Can anyone summarise the pertinent points?

    Grecian Travel

    Anyone know if there's a coach running to Lincoln and where do people find information about times, costs etc? I can't see anything on the website.

    L1 playing budgets 22/23

    Would anyone like to hazard a guess at what the L1 table based on highest to lowest playing budget would look like? Here's my thoughts, based on my limited knowledge of turnover, attendances and ownership structures (purely to create some debate): Derby Sheffield Wednesday Ipswich Bolton...

    Commercial & sponsorship opportunities

    https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/2022/may/commercial-opps/ The brochure is a massive improvement on what we've seen before. Well done, whoever compiled and designed it.

    Marquee signings

    Tim Dieng signing a contract extension got me thinking about the hysteria on here and across other ECFC related social media about the lack of "marquee" signings last summer. Now that we have had the opportunity to see all our summer signing play a number of games, which of our signing would we...

    Tagg's Trust AGM speech - 3 option

    Tagg at the Trust AGM outlined 3 routes that the Club can take and calls on the Trust to give him an instruction. I copy the options below. The full transcript of the speech is here: https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/2019/november/chairman-agm/ 1.We could do nothing and accept where that...

    Wage structure

    A post on another thread got me thinking what our current wage structure would look like. Now I think our baseline playing budget is approx £1.2m per year, and we are currently topping that up to the tune of £500k per season (for the next couple of years) due to recent transfer income. That...

    Flags

    I love the array of flags that we take to away games (as witnessed at Morecambe). Visually it makes a real impact. Proper job.

    New Manager's Job Description

    If the MK rumours are true, it looks like Tis is off to pastures new. I'd be fascinated to see the job description for his replacement. In a very simplistic view there are two priorities for the new manager. 1) First team results. 2) Generating our own players that we can sell for profit. On...

    Wembley travel costs

    £87 Exeter to Paddington on a fast train or £63 on the Waterloo line (which takes over 4 hrs each way). Alternatively it’s £40 on a Club coach (no concessions). Not cheap is it!?

    Jack Stafford

    https://twitter.com/waggy64/status/993029845104939013 This is interesting. This lad has signed a 2 year scholarship with ECFC, despite living in Cheshire and having offers much closer to home. It says a lot about perceptions of our Academy. Great stuff and good luck to the lad.
