...the traditional boxing day derby between Exeter and Plymouth was SURELY as big as it gets. All that throwing cold chrimbo turkey and polystyrene cups of hot bovril into the away end, knowing devonshire bragging rights were on the line for 12 months. Was all good until we got relegated........sniff.
Local rivalrys are great. Ours with the jets is shaping up nicely after only one year!
As for AS,I actually thought he was pushed out the door due to financial restraints on the club. It was well known at the time how dismayed he was. But IF he was forced out of his club, and had the chance to make himself financially secure and the genuine chance to win medals, maybe its understandable he went to mancs when they came knocking.
Rivals are rivals of course, and i would be bitter, but i dont think he willingly went.
IMO it was never a 'Mo Johnston going to Rangers' situation.
