    Scapegoat XI

    I remember a certain former Exeter manager. Youll know the one, the one you'd imagine being popular and liking a drink being out with his team mates on Gandy Street mid season perhaps a Wednesday night telling some friends of mine to all him 'Toenails' on account of him being so far up the then...

    Choose the New Third Kit for Next Season

    This is my dream city shirt. I'd happily make you an offer if ever you're open to selling it.

    Ryan Woods signs on loan

    He cant defend but today he had numerous chances to play a percentage pass or for their goal clear it. Id like both to stay but if we have to accommodate Harris and assume Caldwell is a huge admirer of Aitchison Id sooner see Cole alongside Woods personally.

    Cheltenham Town v Exeter City Matchday Thread.

    Really enjoyed that as I had Friday despite the late dropping of points. Definitely can see what sort of side we are trying to build and today with better finishing and less sloppy defending would've been comfortable. I thought Hartridge had a good game despite a handful of overhit passes...

    Ryan Woods signs on loan

    Become integral to how we play in a very short space of time. Far more important to hang on to than Carroll in my estimation. Last four or five games superb.

    Exeter City v Charlton Athletic Matchday thread.

    Well I managed to get a ticket. I think perhaps a draw about right. Charlton were always going to bring on Aneke and Ladapo second half and lump it. Woods was excellent and on performances like we should do all we can to sign him. The back three generally coped well although the distribution...

    Exeter City v Charlton Athletic Matchday thread.

    No dice unfortunately. I think this is where the ground being just a tiny bit bigger would help. I dont see us ever topping 8k home supporters for league games but the headroom of an extra couple thousand spaces would make a big difference.

    Exeter City v Charlton Athletic Matchday thread.

    Forlorn hope but if anyone has spare ticket or tickets ideally sat down please shout. As per my lack of organisation biting me in the ass in forgetting to get one.

    When Was Your First City Match and Who was Your First Idol?

    I dont really post on EW and havent for years. That said thread sparked me to life... I dont know if it was my first game but first memory is the Norwich FA Cup game in 8990. I remember it being rammed. I was so excited when Dazza scored but then of course that was very shortlived. Predictably...

    ECFC V FGR Matchday thread

    Exeter City A.F.C. v Morecambe A.F.C. Official Match Day Thread.

    I don't post much here but this sums it up for Me. City were awful again I've been to fewer games at SJP than ever despite us doing 'well'. Sometimes I think am I being too critical and then I think back to some of the 'entertainment' over last five years! It's crazy to think we are in with a...

    Club AGM and Financial report

    Wow I am surprised to see the DJ Report being revisited now I wonder if there'll be an opportunity for involvement? I would think someone like me could help a lot clienting such a project since it's what I do for a living...

    Spending a windfall

    Sorry, Planners can talk in their own language sometimes... In layman's terms, yes I believe the football ground is pretty safe from development pressure. The Policy in the Core Strategy Pete quotes below confirms the need to retain and support the activities of the football club on the site...

    Spending a windfall

    Haven't posted in a while.... Local Plans are not set in stone and in any event unlike in some countries decisions are not always made in accordance with them. The Town and Country Planning Act requires decisions to be made in accordance with the Plan unless material considerations indicate...

    St James Forum vs The Re-development

    The Neighbourhood Plan was adopted after the Core Strategy. As part of the Examiner's consideration of the NP he/she (as I've no idea which) would've needed to consider if it was in conformity with strategic policies in the Core Strategy. In practice no NP to date has not been found capable of...

    St James Forum vs The Re-development

    Ha you don't have to point that out to a jaded local authority planner... Threats of JR are very common, applications granted leave to be heard in the Court of Appeal much less and successful JR's well you'll know they don't happen every day of the week.

    For the uninitiated non town planners: HMO - house in multiple occupation PP - planning permission NPPF - national planning policy framework. National planning policy that sets the basis for what is drafted locally. OAHN - objectively assessed housing need. Since the demise of regional...
