What a strange day - weather wise - already. It's already 15c, and will probabaly get warmer. On the other hand it's windy - gusts up to force 5-6 at times which is blowing in from SSW. It's bringing intermittent and unpredictable light grey cloud with brief flashes of sunshine. I think it's...
It's 13c, but feels colder. The wind is going round from SSW to SW, and at the moment there are heavy showers and 100% light grey cloud cover. The wind is gusting during the rain showers, and blowing them through quite quickly. Not quite the warm balmy Easter weather we would have preferred...
Don't forget that City were, at the same time, raising money through 'Red or Dead', but also cutting back on expenditure after two successive drastic losses. In 2001-2002 the Club had made a loss of £343,368 and the next year until the careful stewardship of R&L a loss of £624,538. The obvious...
Two months. However, it's important to remember that at the time nearly everybody involved in the administration was a volunteer. Andy Gillard was probably the only one employed, given that Justin Quick was only employed when we started the process of CVA. You'd have to ask Andy when he finally...
It was 'The Last Grandstand' and those who contributed were given three options, a gift, repayment after 5 years with no interest or a seson ticket deal that could be negotiated. In the end the number of people who opted for 2 and 3 was very small, but we made good on the promise to repay those...
It's 11c, but feels colder in a SSW wind. Currently 50/50 blue/grey cloud cover. Lots of rain yesterday (8mm) mainly in the form of very heavy showers that at one time also had hail in it. Looking out over Dartmoor there are big cumuko nimbus clouds which suggest that there could be futher...
Oh, good! It's just started to drizzle. Not that heavy rain, but a wetting mizzle. It's 11c and the wind has moved round to SSW, so it could do this all afternoon. The cloud cover is now 100% grey cloud cover, so it's doubtful if sun screen onr sun glasses will be needed during the course of the...
It occurs to me that I could have written a 'one size fits all' forecast at the start of the month and it would still apply. It rained overnight, it was showery yesterday (including a couple of really heavy downpours), the temperature hovereing around 8/9c and an overcast dull day. To be more...
The current issue of the Exeter University Alumni Magazine has an interesting article " Celebrating 20 years of community" in which Will Barrett, Marcus Flitcroft and Julian Tagg (natch!) examine the links between the University and the Club it's sub heading says " In October exeter City...
Wind has gone round to E and increased in strength. It's ntionally 9c, but feels a lot colder in what is a strengthening breeze. It's also been raining for about 40 minutes, as yet, not very hard but enough to make it unpleasntly wintery. Pity, because I think it will not help either team. Call...
The weather is somewhat akin to watching Exeter City play at home for most of this season. It's dull (70% light grey cloud cover) but with an ESE wind that blows nobody any good [see Sturtz above] and is bringing in lower cloud suggesting that it's going to rain, and the barometer suggests for...
On the website www.thecoachesvoice.com. I think the article is called 'Lost in translation' The website doesn't appear to be available any more, but I have a print off copy.
I started this thread mainly because of a quote from Alex Inglethorpe at the end of his tenure with Exeter City,(though to be fair is was written retrospectively) He wrote:
" Untimately to be successful I think you've got to enjoy watching your team play. I got to the stage where I didn't...
Of course not. However, it should be noted that opportunities for any kind of goal have been extremely limited this season. One of the reasons, I suspect, why this thread exists and continues to be posted on. Another question, possibly aimed at you, 'How can you continue to defend the indefensible?'
