Exeter City Women 2019/20 Season

[Snakebite]

Yes. I think that’s exactly what he’s saying. Suck it up buttercup.

Until you started bleating the women’s team’s successes seemed quite interesting. Now, thanks entirely to you the subject has become tedious, repetitive and dull.
Well done.

So what your saying hants is that you don't care about the fact the women's team are not playing at SJP as it doesn't matter to you.

I doubt very much if it would matter to anyone else much either. Danny, I dont wish to appear sexist, but you have to get it into your head that womans football of the level of Exeter City Ladies doesnt make for much of a spectator sport. Whether they play at Topsham, Cullompton, or SJP, very few people will pay to watch their games. They will have a diversity of football skills, with two or three being quite good, but with others clearly making up the numbers. People just wont wont pay to watch sub standard fare. I bet there would be no more than 75 or 100 that would go to SJP to pay watch them. Unfortunately there is just no appeal IMHO.

However the women have to pay to play for the club.

So effin what ! In case you missed it, Jack Leach scored 92 runs as England night watchman in the Test match against Ireland, and received handsome remuneration with his match fee. Yet a week later he happily paid out his £10 match subs to play for Taunton Deane in the Somerset local leagues. In any sport it's the level of the competition that sets the bar dummy !

Pete have you not noticed watching the men's team more times than not over the years has been of very poor standard plus not worth the money either. However it's more than just about the quality with the women's team.

Exeter v Plymouth at SJP would of attracted a good crowd with good publicity.

This is one crazy thread.

I accuse you of crazy-ism.

Next up is Poole Town away, this Sunday.

They lost their opening fixture 2-0 at Cheltenham, and finished bottom of the league last season, so hopefully our winning start to the season will continue.

See post #110. Apparently, no chance.

Presumably a league match, if there is anybody out there who actually goes it would be quite interesting on this thread to know who is pulling on the famous red and whiote shirts, who the star players are and their prospects.
