I was talking primarily about non-footballing reasons. The reality is that we have to offer players an extra incentive to come here, whether that is extra money than they can earn elsewhere or the promise that it will be good for their careers. And even looking at your list, the vast majority were academy products who grew up locally to the club and most of those that didn't, like Stockley and Bowman, had family connections to the area.Regarding. a footballer's career, why would it be better to play oop North? You think our players don't get noticed at Exeter. Chrisene, Jay Stanno, Stockley, Watkins, Storey were all picked up by other clubs. There have been offers for Williams and even Bowman. And it's rumoured that clubs are interested in Randall. If they're good enough, they'll get noticed or find a club if their contract ends. Exeter is not the end of the line. You could argue that our players stand out more.
