Park Life Exeter City FC

The 2023/24 League One season is coming to an end, which means it's also the final episode of Park Life too!

We think we've saved the very best until last with our guest too. We've got super Gary Caldwell! No, literally, we do, as the manager joins Tom to dissect the season that was - from the highs, the lows, and all in between from an absolute rollercoaster of a campaign.

We've also recruited two members of the Grecians' faithful to give their perspective on the season, ahead of the curtain closing at home to Oxford United on Saturday - with our opponents knowing they need a positive result in order to make the play-offs.

To everyone who has listened to Park Life this season, THANK YOU for joining us and we wish you all a fantastic summer.

The season is in its final furlong with just five matches to go, and for City we're just two more home matches away from saying goodbye to the 2023/24 League One campaign.

On the subject of five, that's also the number of games City have gone unbeaten after a positive Easter period, and the discuss that and much is Jack Aitchison, who has played a crucial role in City's good form.

Regular pundit Sam Parks is back to discuss the fantastic win away at Cheltenham on Easter Monday, where he was in attendance, while Nate from the Boro Pod dials in the chat about Stevenage's race for the play-offs.

This week’s Park Life is a bumper double-header episode! It’s #HerGameToo weekend which means which both City men and women are playing at SJP, with the Gary Caldwell’s side facing Bolton before the table-topping Grecians face Maidenhead United on Sunday.

 

With that, it was only right to speak to City’s HerGameToo player ambassador Pierce Sweeney who talks about why he has thrown his weight behind the campaign to tackle sexism in football and encourage more women and girls into the sport. 

 

One of the campaign’s founders, Lucy Ford, chats more to Tom about why it was started and the incredible progress they have made since they launched.

Finally, one of Park Life’s regular pundits, Mikhail Shklover gives his lowdown on both matches. 

Park Life is back after a three week break as Exeter City return to home action at SJP! Fleetwood Town are the visitors to Devon this time around and Tom has plenty to bring you.

City defender Zak Jules is the star of the show as he chats to Tom about his time in Devon since he joined the club last summer, City's recent form, as well as looking ahead to the big match on Saturday where the Grecians will be looking to bounceback from consecutive defeats against Derby and Lincoln.
