Seriously??!

It might not be much, but it probably is better than every other sports venue within 150 miles in every direction. There's not much competition is there?

Ashton Gate, the Millenium, Cardiff City, the Liberty, St Marys?

You should have stopped at 'It ain't much'.

Pretty impressive for a club with a non achiever like Brent at the helm, not that he's built feck all since he's been here.

Yes, okay, should have said 'by road'.

And Ashton Gate is still a shithole.

This development is well under way, how is the mini stand coming along?

The difference, fooknuts, is that City fans can accept that we are what we are whereas you pack of morons still think you're something you're most definitely not.

The council paid for and got built the bits of your ground you are happy to show off, the Mayflower is a tip and nothing is happening to that in the near future.

But please keep dreaming and talking bollocks, it cheers up my day.

The Mayflower is big enough to build a stand on though someday, whereas all you lot have room for at Sid James is a couple of benches.

No, no, no, no.

Taggy says our new mega stand development is fully funded and on schedule, how is the mini stand coming along?

Now be fair, nothing about your council ground could ever realistically be described as "impressive", two thirds of it could at best be called tidy if, as with your pitch, unpaid for, the Mayflower is a mess.......FACT!

Let's leave aside perceived rivalries and get a grasp of the realities just for a sec.

Is that the stand which is in fact smaller than Torquay's at a whopping 1,600 seats? Plus you aint got PP for it yet so you can wind yer neck in fucknuts.

I agree with LT, we will not have anything built until Brent as took his money and run.

When it's done in such a piss poor manner by a joker like your good self then clearly.

hahaha, its Council Land, do you really think they would allow this offer and then turn down planning???

Id actually say the plans/drawings seen to date are an understatement of what we will get

Lets be honest the Sidheap at exeter looks like that camping site outside the channel tunnel in France! calling it a shithole is an understatement.

Who can't accept what?

Most on here know Brent can't deliver what we call 'Phase II', and would gladly see a competent businessman/consortium step in to oversee a proper Mayflower redesign. We're hardly in denial or in delusion about that.

Where Argyle and Exeter differ is that we know we deserve, on size of club alone, to not be playing small clubs like Accrington and Morecambe in the long term. Rectifying the situation appears to be Brent's Achilles heel, although he has delivered year on year continual growth with 7th being the bench mark. We are aiming at a playoff finish this season and looking at promotion to League One as a matter of urgency.

I don't expect Exeter fans to understand the weight of expectation at Argyle, Exeter is a small club with non league infrastructure and embarrassing gates for a city of its size. Exeter City fans know they support a small club that is going nowhere because with their players, board and ground it is quite hard to come to any other realistic conclusion otherwise.

Reckon they'll be more at home at the Horseshoe Pal.

At least we'd have the capacity to take them.

im gonna take this as you actually believe what you posted, apart from one FA cup run what has plymouth actually done?

Also in 112 yrs we spent 5 in non league, so you're statement is incorrect, argyle have spent more time in (what is now) lg1, and you are close to spending more time in the basement than the CCC (am i right if you dont go up this year then more in basement than CCC) this season id say we have a better squad than you, we have the best youth set up this side of the M4 (by a country mile) and our board is made up of fans, you're is a skint admin ridden hotel owner

and you still only manage to get 2.5k more than we do LMAO

TBF we've had 2 decent cup runs.

I was at both semi-finals.
Here's some great footage of the Manchester game with Bell, Law, Marsh, Summerbee etc. We had Mariner, Furnell, davey.
Those really were the days FFS

Is Mathematics not widely taught in Exeter, or are you just very bad at it?

Exeter City's average attendance last season was 3,873. Argyle's average crowd was 7,412.

7,412 is almost double that of Exeter's average attendance of 3,873. The difference is more than 3,500 extra paying supporters.

This does not factor in the Wycombe game either, which saw a packed Home Park with 15,000 crowd - the stuff of dreams for Exeter City.



The clubs were only a few points and only a few league places apart, so standard of football and competing cannot be held accountable.

Argyle are literally twice the club that Exeter City are - twice as many attendances, twice as much quality, twice as much potential.

No sane footballer or casual supporter would ever choose Exeter over Argyle, nor should they - it's a non-league club going nowhere, just happy to be in the football league for the time being.
