WECANDO Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We need a few duff teams to beat and get confidence then a couple of Premiership teams to test the players and get the fans interested. Duffs the usual teams like Cheltenham, Forest Green and Exeter then perhaps Leicester if still in that division and say Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Exeter City will play a pre-season on Tuesday, 25 July, as they take on Bristol City The match against Bristol City will kick off at 1pm at their Robins High Performance Centre before playing a second pre-season match on Tuesday evening, which will be announced soon. As per our last trip to the RHPC, the match will be played behind closed doors. The Grecians faced the Robins last summer, drawing 2-2 at the same venue with goals from Alex Hartridge and Josh Coley.

I don’t think they like the Saints that much either Red-Robbo. My Dad worked at Rediffusion in Southampton before moving up here to gods own country and his best mate (uncle tom) helped out in the dressing room ,running the bath and putting the kit out.When the Saints won the cup in 1976 he gave a signed football of all the squad to my Dad for me and brother.Basically me and my brother took it out into the road and the autographs went!
