A couple of bad experiences really? Here was me thinking our history is littered with clinging to our football league existence on numerous times and bankrupcy is mentioned as far back as the 20's if not earlier!
I'm not convinced we're taking three coaches per away game. I believe Sheffield Wednesday did this for the FA Cup game, but understood that this was as a result of the COVID outbreak in their camp.
Slightly underplays the reality. We've come within hours, if not minutes, of going out of business on more than one occasion. Far from convinced we'd have a Football League club now had the Trust not been around to pick up the pieces after the departure of Russell and Lewis.
Saint you are absolutely spot on and it’s all written down in Mike Blackstone’s excellent book “Exeter City Down the Years”.
Covid has obviously affected everyone and everything but hopefully my £3 a month will help with all that money flying out the door.... If we are looking to save costs maybe a player Manager might be the answer? Also if the pitch is pants and the squad is threadbare do you think thousands will flock back when some sort of normality returns?!
As I recall Benny lodged with Sid Hooper. When Sid got married, he and his wife went to Sidmouth for their honeymoon, though sadly this wasn't shown on screen.
Alternatively, if we don't scrimp and save there may be team for thousands to flock back to and watch.
Only gone bust (or as good as) twice though right
