Most pressurised day of any in 55 years watching the Gas. Had to win, didn't mattter how, thankfully we did - just. Job done but day not enjoyed, just endured. Don't understand these "great day out" quotes cos quite frankly I have had better.
Anyway huge thanks to the lads - Ellis & Manse in particular!
UTG & Never again!

I thought the suggested figure was around £500K, who is going to pay £1m for green belt farm land normally worth around £250K? It's not Green Belt farmland!

What planet do you live on that you think you can get 28 acres with development potential and planning permission for less than £9,000 an acre? Pony paddocks in Almondsbury go for about £35,000 an acre, its a very posh area - ask GasTower

As one of 4/5 strikers in the squad he's a superb option to have. Runs the channels, works his nuts off, holds it up well and better technically than given credit for imo. Seems like a genuinely nice chap too and like he loves being here. Exactly this - brighter than most footballers too - great news UTG

Didn't Charlie Colkett go off at HT?? My bad! Edited... Thought that wouldn't have been right! Colkett and Boateng were awful that day - rarely appeared after that!

More on Brian Dutton:-
Was back at Salisbury on loan again this season from Eastbourne, lives in Winchester near Darrell & off the pitch, Dutton coaches at Sparsholt Academy and holds a UEFA A licence coaching badge.
Sounds like a good capture.

By the sound of it either Harrison or Gaffney or both will be on their way. The players themselves will feel uncomfortable with what he has said because neither do very well at anything he said he wants out of the three front players. Will be very surprised if both are with us next season - doesn't look as though they are in his plans, particularly if he gets the players in he wants. I understand he wants another 3 forwards on top of Gaffney and maybe Harrison. DC said Gaffney wasn't a million miles away from signing his contract offer. Interesting he wasnt happy with two players away at Shrewsbury, and took them off at HT. The GPS tracker showed neither had made a sprint in the first half. (Lines and Harrison) Didn't Charlie Colkett go off at HT??

Sounds like a DC man
He left the club at the end of the season and re-joined Salisbury City under their new manager, Darrell Clarke.[16] He became a utility player for the club, playing in a variety of places all over the pitch, before featuring on a regular basis at centre back – making the position his own. After the temporary departure of Salisbury captain Chris Giles, the Salisbury manager Darrell Clarke gave the honour of club captain to Dutton, who led Salisbury to the Conference South after a play-off final victory against Hednesford Town on penalties. He was rewarded with a new contract and club captaincy, Dutton went on to captain Salisbury to yet another promotion once again via the play offs, the final this time was against Chris Kinnear's Dover Athletic. Salisbury won the final in extra time, which meant Salisbury had earned promotion to the Conference National, the league they had been thrown out of three seasons earlier and Dutton had managed two promotions in the two seasons he was captain at the club.

Havent listened yet, but why offer them contracts then? Personally think both will be here next season, offered deals & in all honesty unlikely to do better that stay with us! I actually like them both!! UTG

Yes I think so - was at Salisbury for some time with DC & at 32 yo probably ideal time to go into coaching!!

10 for a new ground with great facilities for fans, proper bars/pubs incorporated in ground and decent food outlets, not the standard modern concourse with concrete walls, no seats, cold and miserable. Safe standing, good parking, good views and a winning team. Not too much to ask for WAQ!

Ryan Bennett (released) Paul Anderson (released) Cameron McGeehan (out of contract, fee required) David Wheeler (out of contract) James Collins (fee) I understand David Wheeler lives in Bristol & if Exeter don't make it through the play offs it's a distinct possibility.

So, we don't actually have a keeper then. ....we don't have any proper games for 2 months plus!

Confirmed that the Checkatrader competition will still be with us next year.Chairmen had agreed before hand that they would vote against only to change their minds when an extra million pound was added to the prize money(which disappointed SH).No fines for fielding an under strength team so we could field our 23 side if we wished. SH hoped the format would be more regional That's an extra £20,833 per L1/2 club - hardly seems enough to swing a vote from Yes to No!

Budget

I'm sure DC & Wael will have already spoken, no doubt at some length, about what's needed for next season, the retained list agreed, deals offered to our out of contract players and initial targets drawn up. The actual figures are already known, they are hardly going to sit around a table in two weeks and make drastic changes are they??

Sincs Browner Billy Linsey Tom Ollie......the list goes on & on. Yeah, it's all of 'em innit. Got to say, I think it's down to DC. They've even named a State over here after him. UTG! Yes it is - nothing but admiration for all the guys who have pulled us back from the Conference & made us a good/decent L1 outfit. Forgot Manse & Macca & Gozzy. However without DC none of this would have happened!
