    Caldwell out?

    I completely agree.

    Caldwell out?

    One of the hardest things in life is to turn around and admit you made a mistake. I think this is one of the main problems with those in charge. They are not prepared to admit that appointing Gary was a huge mistake and are letting their egos get in the way of what is best for the club...

    Strikers

    The real question in my opinion is would a £1 million pound striker want to join a club in free fall, with a rather large question mark hanging over the manager. That of course is in the very unlikely scenario that the board released anything like that amount.

    Bolton Wanderers versus Exeter City Official Matchday Thread

    I didn’t expect us to score but hoped we would make it really difficult for them. This total capitulation is beyond a joke. Guaranteed relegation if he stays and almost guaranteed even if he goes. In what world would the board allow him to spend any money in January.

    Fleetwood Town V Exeter City matchday thread

    Bet Peterborough are pi**ed off they asked for a postponement next week, their reserves would probably beat us at the moment.

    Torquay Utd versus the Exeter City Pre Season Friendly Saturday 22nd July 3.00 p.m. Kickoff

    Pre- season friendly. Move on. Will base all my opinions after the first couple of games of the real season.

    It was 20 years ago today

    My friend's sister was running the bars at the Park and she smuggled us in. We sat near the directors seats and what an odd bunch were there that day! My Dad was in the Queue to get in but gave up, it was a roadblock.

    SJP capacity

    However difficult and expensive increasing the capacity of The Park is the club is right to be exploring possibilities. As with the training ground improvements if the club is to continue an upward trajectory, standing still is simply not an option. As a supporter of over 50 years the dream...

    League 2 news 2021/22

    I was at Spurs in 81 and it came very close to a serious incident then. Stood behind the goal you literally had no control over where you moved and it did feel pretty sketchy. The thought of being pushed up against a fence and crushed, although highly unlikely given modern regulations, is...

    League 1 News 22-23

    Probably go to QPR i think with his history there. On the other hand do they want his brand of football!

    League 2 news 2021/22

    Just very disappointing that the minority of Vale fans could not just celebrate rather than trying to get to McKirdy . Something will undoubtedly be done about pitch invasions after some of these play off game antics.

    League 2 news 2021/22

    19,000 seats but limited to about 11,000. The Vale fans are not even sure why!

    The Official Title Deciding Exeter City versus Port Vale Matchday Thread

    All of you at the game cherish every minute win, lose or draw. I went to most games home and away in 89/90 and those memories still live incredibly strong in my mind. The final game away at Lincoln was a celebration and despite the nerves I hope today can be too. UTC.

    Is Project 6000 and sustainability in L1 compatible with selling our "Gems"?

    In my opinion it is all about small improvements within our budget just as is happening now. If we were to maintain a position in League 1 i would look at improving the away end with an all seated stand double the height. The footprint is big enough to support this with a slight taper towards...

    The Pitch

    The wrong type of grass blows in on the wind and if you don't strip it off it takes over very quickly. It has very shallow roots unlike the seeded grass and would cut up really badly.
