    Is Exeweb dead?

    Its been a magical journey (y) Im sorry, I meant no offence. I guess I was just reminiscing of a time of when Exeweb - and football forums in general - were the accepted source of football inter-web discourse. Twatter has a lot to answer for. Merry Christmas.

    Is Exeweb dead?

    Hello?, is that a heartbeat I hear? Only 11 posts on WOWS active today? Dman these Millennials and their this regards for communication technology of yesteryear. Quick Steve, start a TokTick!

    Sort The Last 10 City Managers In Order Of Greatness.

    Greatness or importance? "Greatness" you cant really look past Tisdale. Coops gets close for the title, but back to back promotions, Wembley visits, GAWS results, highest 3rd tier finish since whenever blah blah blah. No-one else is even in the same bracket, they can limp biscuit for places...

    Quick question.

    I've not been around in a while. Is "Southender" still a derogatory term around these parts? Just curious. Ta x

    Football on 5

    I think 'meh' is the word. Inoffensive if a little awkward with a hint of amateurism thrown in for flavouring. They've fallen into the same trap as ITV with The Premiership debacle and tried to re-invent the wheel. It's not Top Gear; bin the audience who contribute nothing. Sharpen up the...

    Loan signings that made an immediate impact in league 2

    Nope. I don't understand this clamouring over the loan system as some 'golden goose' and the argument that Tis is being in someway negligent in under-exploiting the system. It's not 'poor', its sticking by a design. Who was the last 'starlet' we signed from a Premiership club who made a...

    Changing the name

    Do it. To be fair, I really wouldn't have much of an objection anymore if someone brought us out, renamed us Red Bull Exeter, we played at Red Bull Park, and our stripes were red and blue. We are part of an increasingly commercial set up, and I don't think we truly understand yet just how big...

    Ground Rules

    For various reasons, I accept a smoking ban to include e-cigs. Although many places have actually failed to incorporate e-cigs into their smoking policy and therefore it can be a technical ambiguity, I can see the non-smokers point of view that what ever it is you are puffing on, its a...

    Argyle

    My own un-educated opinion. For a rivalry to be relevant, there are two conditions with at least one needing to be met at bare-minimum. Firstly, a deep sense of pride or worth in the 'loyal' entity. Second, a large degree of fear or respect in the 'opposing' entity. Right now, at least on...

    A message for the chairman and the directors

    Don't get me wrong, I know the suggestion falls on the side of laughable and I'm not even sure how serious I am about the idea myself! However, we all believe (or perhaps used to believe) that this club is special. The Trust, the buckets, the work parties. In the last few years, we've allowed...

    A message for the chairman and the directors

    Perhaps this is an idea bordering on pie-in-the-sky absurd, but maybe it's time that "we own our club" again. Why don't we raise the cash ourselves? Wait, wait, hear me out. I am not for one second trying to absolve the board of the club from their responsibility to make this happen, in an...

    FL Chairman: Greg Clarke: "Exeter are a great example"

    A great example of what exactly though?

    Debut goals

    Winning debut goals? Dwane Lee vs. Stevenage. After about his 4th touch IIRC.

    New Kit

    This. The fact that as a club and institution we have to celebrate playing a Rio/Sao Paulo XI in a tour friendly is simply embarrassing.

    New Kit

    There's a smilie in use somewhere with the yellow face literally laughing his arse off and smacking the desk into a pulp. That would have sufficed here.

    New Kit

    Curses. If I knew Spoonz was still posting around here to shoot down my rabid yammerings with cool logic, I wouldn't have bothered to remember my password after so long! ;) Fair point, I possibly may have potentially overstated a quote just to fit my agenda for an internet posting. Guilty...

    New Kit

    For me, its the overly contrived spin which has gone with it. Just come out and say "we've decided to go for a third kit, so we've teamed up with Joma who have supplied us with some of their spiffing yellow designs; we've gone with yellow as a nod to the Brazilian match coming up". I'd respect...

    New Kit

    Own goal by our community club run by fans, for fans. £15.00 for a bulk-existant mass produced template. £25.00 for Flybe and the club's crest to be put on. Dear oh dear. £5.50 per full colour badge embroidery (without bulk discount) £3.50 per 3 colour printing. Hell, I could create my own...

    New Kit

    This. The kit is just wrong. Blue instead of yellow trim as others have said suggests Torquay. And where's the innovation? Colour pallette aside, its just a rip off of the Brazilian shirt. So we're less "celebrating our roots" and more mimicking a football entity far superior to our own. They...

    Exeweb Upgrades :- New Server, New Software, New Look

    a) Very nice b) Freshens up the place without changing the site's identity c) I see no reason why - given a + b - anyone should have a real reason to moan d) For what its worth, this is the kind of communication from a "steering committee" or "site management team" which is constructive and...
