[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1114804, member: 58362"] I know that in the early days of professionalism, they were very open with supporters about the club's affairs. Have they explained their position on this? Why would a business that's in such a poor financial situation that it would sell (shares in?) an asset that was touted as securing its financial future, vote in favour of needing to spend more money to remain competitive? It's amazing how quickly the club have managed to destroy their "everyone's favourite second team" status, which can't have helped their business. I'm certainly much less inclined to make a 100 mile up the A30 for a fix of Premiership rugby than I was back when Exeter were everyone's favourite plucky overachievers. TBH, I don't see anything changing until Tony Rowe is no longer involved with the club and the windows have been kept open for a while to get rid of the smell of gammon. [/QUOTE]
