We live in hope that Tisdale now does the noble thing and falls on his sword.

The trouble is that there's so much weight in his back pocket he'll fall the wrong way.

he needs a new tailor that's for sure.

Not sure the BEST side won, I reckon the more ruthless, efficient and organised one did.

Well done for coming on here though, a while ago I would have said you were crazy for wanting rid of the big cheese . However it's now clear that you need new thinking in there, it's all got too complacent and cozy. It's not like you haven't got players but there's a complete lack of spine, organisiation and leadership.

I don't know why they don't bite the bullet and pay off Tisdale. It's well known he's on a rolling two year contract with promotion bonuses earned from when they were Conference up to L1 and no relegation drop back. But they've surely got a few quid in the bank from selling Grimes and their FA Cup run with Liverpool. Or are they using that money to prop up their poor (falling) home attendance? They were certainly trying to drum up support for yesterday. 5000 home fans for arguably their biggest home game all season is shocking.

But then again, Chiefs were home, weren't they?

It's all been spent on the training ground running costs etc. Before the Grimes money came in, which is being staged despite what that nutter used to claim, city needed Pfa money to make payroll. They are expecting a sub 3k attendance for Notts county

Ridicules that a small settlement the size of Exeter allows it's successful Rugby Club and small football club to play on the same day.

"Ridicules" indeed.

Presumably they have budgeted for bigger gates too.

They used to pull 5+k in L1. So I guess they thought 3+ every game?

Well played Saturday chaps, thought you looked sharp good luck for the rest of the season. Now fook off Tis Perryman and Tagg that was an embarrassment to our mighty club #nonleagueherewecome. Good night benders.

Well said Foxy,  I for one do not want to see city go down.   Like to see three league clubs in Devon,  with Argyle number one of course.

Agree Pete, the higher the football profile of the South West the better for Argyle.

Agree, worst case scenario this season is for Exeter and Yeovil to go down.

Bit I think Crawley and Newport might save their blushes.

I believe this query has come up once before on the Chiefs website. When the persons that be draw up the fixture list they've got to take in account soccer/rugby teams that play at the same grounds like Wasps/Coventry City and Bristol City/ Bristol Rugby. However, should you take a look at the Leicester Tigers RFC 'Aviva Premiership' fixtures, they're either home when Leicester City is away or vice versa. They also, to avoid the clash, play some games the day before or even after a City home match. In some instances this could be down to BT TV match coverage.

I must add that I haven't taken into account cup fixtures that get sandwiched between league games, so whether those 2 clubs are afforded the same luck with those games will be worth scrutinizing.

Assume there must have been some consideration to groundshare of Sandy Park. Why did that never get any further than the drawing board?

This question has been brought up before, however, I believe that most opinions proffered were sheer speculation. I do believe that someone suggested that The Chiefs wanted too high a rent.

As an aside, I get the feeling that while many supporters are unhappy with SJP and it's limitations for meaningful redevelopment, many would rather stay in situ than have to travel to a new ground outside the city boundaries. Also, there's a chance that the 'fringe' fans that all clubs seem to have in abundance, mightn't bother to show up.

Agent Shez puts another green and white boot in to the Greasy 'uns. Stead scoring like a rabbit this season, class player who should really be playing at a higher level.

I dont know why they dont just liquidate the club and build public toilets there.

In Leicester, City's ground is 1/2 mile from Welford Rd where Tigers have average attendance of over 22K.

Another defeat. I thought with all the money they've got and their amazing yoof team they were going to walk this division

Probably because we like watching a game of footy even if we're currently led by Moe, Curly and Larry.

Not sure I wish to discuss your fixation with public toilets.

A long way to go yet. I still wouldn't bet against Exeter finishing in the play-offs. Far more likely than us going up automatically when you take into account the brent factor.

Can we start laughing yet?

Has foxy been shot and motor services broken down?
