    Caldwell out?

    Caldwell has to go, the atmosphere at the game today was toxic and the football was slow, turgid and boring. Do the club and trust boards not see how desperate things are and how much we need a change? If the change isn’t made soon, we are heading for relegation and League Two!

    Exeter City v Port Vale official matchday thread

    Changes have to be made after today! Things can’t continue like this, Caldwell is clueless and we are down if he isn’t sacked by Monday. If Taggy and the board won’t act, we as Trust members will have to force the Trust board to take action against the Club board. I know how we do it is...

    Planning application for new training ground facilities

    With Exeter City Council’s plans to develop Marsh Barton for housing over the next twenty years and not continue as a 100% industrial estate, there could be an opportunity here for locating a new ground, still within the city. Particularly now there is a Marsh Barton station, which could work...

    Caldwell out?

    Gary seems a good guy, probably too nice, but he has clearly lost the players and if we lose on Tuesday against Shrewsbury he has to go. But will Taggy and the board do it? I have my doubts, as it’s starting to feel like it did under Tis, when it took a Trust motion to change his contract to...

    Trust Elections 2023

    I’m really surprised that the AGM hasn’t been made available to members by zoom. As I’m sure a lot who would have been there on a normal match day, particularly those not living locally would like to see the meeting live. Can the Trust board explain why this isn’t being done?

    Trust Elections 2023

    I’ve voted for you Debra, as it’s time for some new faces on the Trust board and not the same ones getting re-elected all the time like Neil Le-M. I liked what you had to say in your manifesto and I hope you are successful in being elected. If not have another go next year, as a lot of...

    Exeter City v Wigan Athletic FA Cup Matchday Thread

    We are really in a mess. It’s going to be a tough few weeks until the January transfer window opens. Julian Tagg and the board need to make money available for at least two strikers or we are heading back to League Two without any doubt. We could have played all day this afternoon and never...

    Tagg - succession planning

    That’s a very good point regarding Taggy, love him or hate him he has been instrumental in the 20 years of Trust ownership and continues to play a pivotal role. He is very much the public face of the club and although his influence from what I hear isn’t as strong as it was in the Tisdale days...

    Burton Albion V Exeter City Official Match Day Thread

    Great atmosphere in the away end yesterday. The link between the fans and this team is truly special and while I’m sure there will be some tough results during the season, I think together this can be a truly special season. The football we are playing is the best since the 89/90 promotion...

    New Number 10 - Sam Nombe - To Rotherham United

    We will miss Sam, he has been everything we hoped for when he signed and more. He also seems a great dressing room guy, liked by new and old players alike. He will be hard to replace and how well we do that could go a long way to deciding how we finish this season.

    20 Years of Trust

    For me the club has to remain majority Trust owned, but we shouldn’t be closed to the idea of any kind of outside investment. What is happening down the road at Argyle with their Academy is a threat and we will have to be prepared for that. At the moment it’s very in vogue to have American...

    Supporters Trust Fans Forum - Thursday 27 July

    Do we really need the expense of a CEO? That is the question and we have to trust the likes of Nick Hawker and the board that we do and that he will add value. However I’m not convinced that Jeremy Tipper is the man for the job, as when you check out his work history it doesn’t look that...

    Commercial & sponsorship opportunities

    That’s a good point about getting a discount off for being a Trust member. It was something that I remember from a few years ago, I will check if they are doing it when I order my skip and with Selco being the main stand sponsor I’m sure they would support a Trust discount. Can anyone from the...

    Commercial & sponsorship opportunities

    It’s good to have new companies like that coming on board. I’m having some landscaping done at home next month and will definitely contact them for a skip and Selco for the building material. The more we support the club’s sponsor, hopefully they will put more money into the club In future...

    Retained List 2022/23

    Danny Mayor is going back up North to be nearer to his wife and kids. So no chance of him signing for us, the rumour is that he is joining Fleetwood Town. It’s strange that we still haven’t had a retained list released, particularly when GaryCaldwell mentioned he was seeing the players on...
