[Boyo]

Harrogate is a bleedy long way from Devon.

Then best to start saving now, it's blooming expensive for what it is believe me! There are much nice, and better value tea rooms further in town than Betty's.

Nice to see that City fans are so sophisticated as to take afternoon tea before a match.

Must be the proper chap syndrome from our previous leader rubbing off

The pubs will probably be shut so needs must

Harrogate is a bleedy long way from Devon.

Exeter to York 294 miles.....Exeter to Harrogate 295. Last time I was there approx 6 years ago still relatively unspoilt.

Harrogate for me on the outside chance I can get to go to Betty's Tea Rooms

Taggy's onto it ...

"The announcement from the EFL about the return of football from September 12 last week was certainly a very welcome one, although not without its challenges. As ever we are faced with a moveable feast ..."

💬 President's update: "Matt and his team continue to work on strengthening the squad and whilst I know they have their sights set on a couple of interesting targets the Academy may well have to pick up some of the slack."

Julian Tagg is president and director of external affairs at Exeter City Football Club. In this monthly column, written for the Express & Echo, he brings an exclusive look behind the scenes at St James Park.

If it’s Harrogate they’ll have to play their first 4 or 5 games away from the CNG Stadium due to a grass pitch being laid....when the current 3G pitch was installed they played their home matches at Doncaster Rovers for a while.

I suppose with the season starting with no spectators that could give them a perceived advantage of playing infront of more home crowds later in the season(assuming the first months games are scheduled away & not ‘neutral ground’ home games)

A similar scenario worked well for Newport a couple of seasons ago when Rodney Parade was relaid & they could not play home games until September.

The report I read said they would be played on a yet unnamed neutral venue should the scenario arrive, apparently the Keepmoat Stadium was 50 miles away and unpopular with supporters.

York would be the obvious answer surely?
