Why Are So Few Other Clubs Trust Owned?

Couldn’t agree more, I’m very thankful for our ground, the thought of relocating to a bowl out of the city centre is the stuff of nightmares imo

Exeter City - The Club Central(ish) to the City !

Think you'll find a lot of clubs at our level never chose to leave their old grounds, They did it because of unsustainable debts and had to sell their ground to clear such debts and other partners (Council/Developers/Supermarkets) agreeing to build a stadium as part of a sale/relocation.

Oh David ….how can you say that? Leigh RMI ‘the grottiest ground I had ever visited’. In my view it was one of the great iconic grounds of our Conference years. A massive bowl of a place that had once held 31,326 for a Rugby League match. These photos are from my visit in February 2005 when a crowd of 451 graced the arena to see a Sean Devine goal give City a 1-0 victory. My highlight was going into the bowels of the main stand to collect my 50:50 winnings - £35!!! Well come to think of it there was also the memory of a well known Exewebber wandering around near naked in the freezing cold.
