Why Exeter City
Exeter City work as a second team because they come with their own geography: England, St James Park, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.
The calendar you inherit
England EFL League Two is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Old enough to matter
1904 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Nothing won, everything to play for
Trophyless, so far. That is the pitch: be there before the story turns.
Close to the pitch
St James Park holds about 8,720. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
