    Port Vale v. Exeter prediction and discussion thread

    Oatcakes, hmmm. I love getting stuck into local stuff especially if its food related. In Japan for the WC I had to try a popular bit of street food - Takoyaki (Octopus balls - never knew that they even had balls), the locals were lapping them up so when in Rome etc. an acquired taste...

    Latest Club News..

    I was never sure of the connection between Exeter City and a lion & lioness, put me right someone. I had a feeling that the fancy dress shop on Fore Street was having a sale and common fancy dress outfits like Dracula, Frankenstein or Freddy Krueger never fitted the 'family' club ethos, so the...

    League One - 2023/24

    Are we going to organise a supportive round of applause for Reading after 2 mins of our next home game?

    Youth 2023/24

    Out of interest, I ask this question as regrettably I have not watched the youth of some time. Me and a mate used to have fun watching Ballie's team on a Sunday morning whilst shaking off many a hangover, great fun. Has the 'possession' style of football being instilled in our youth teams so...

    Gary's January Transfer Window

    Hmmm not the usual countdown as to how many tickets are available in various parts of the ground. I assume we will be nowhere near capacity (assuming it goes ahead), is this just January blues & skint after Christmas or are people starting to vote with their feet?

    Gary's January Transfer Window

    You can't be right. GC definitely said that we were very unlucky in the last window as the deal for a striker, i.e. Harris, fell through at the 11th hour

    Gary's January Transfer Window

    I think the media razzmatazz surrounding contract extensions to two existing players is smoke and mirrors trying to deflect criticism about the lack of signings that would actually fill glaring voids on the team sheet. I can see the spin already, "ECFC capture FOUR successful team-changing...

    Cambridge United Home - Discussion Thread

    Very relevant, as Shirley we'd be writing into any contract offered that wages might be different if we are relegated. If we don't and hedge our bets we could after relegation be even more under the financial cosh, with reduced bunce from the EFL and reduced gates. At this stage though, the...

    Sonny Cox

    I used to set up my Subbuteo team this way. I always got tonked. Not sure it was my team set up or my complete lack of 'flick to kick' ability

    Gary's January Transfer Window

    No obviously we won't be relegated on 31/1/23. but my frustration stems from the fact that with 5 games in January and even if we do sign someone on deadline day it will take a couple of weeks for the new signing to get used to GC's pitty patty, so it could be a total of 7 games we are playing...

    Select Surname City XI

    Blime, these threads are our feedstock for the summer months, but here we are mid-season. What are we going to talk about during the next closed-season? Oh yeah, I know - rebuilding the team once all the loan signings have returned and contract offers have been refused...

    My New Football Club Podcast

    Even more embarrassing as they knew there would be a fitness test on the morning of the game before they left Exeter, so why not take one of the youngsters just in case (as has been stated before)? What sticks in my crawl was the the statement that "we had to" use Perks as it was too late to...

    Caldwell out?

    And the Second goal from that pitty patty around at the back, I guess Kite was following 'team' tactics by doing his best to get the ball across to Hartridge for that killer diagonal pass from the back. Even Citeh mix it up a bit and plop the ball into Row Z if needs be (with less than a minute...

    Strikers

    Now this is the sort of positive things the board should be telling City fans, not messages like "there are 71(?) other clubs chasing a good striker and we will do our best, but it a bit difficult". I mean Carlisle is not on the edge of the M25 exactly, if they can attract quality players, why...

    Caldwell out?

    This was my proposal to get the SGM moving, but no one was willing to pick up the ball and run with me Have to agree, Cannock, it appears that this is a forum for bleating about rather than pushing for change. As someone has pointed out, even if we go for one of the options presented a 30 day...
