Exeter fan does police work

Recent problems with money going missing at Exeter City Football Club do not appear to have been taken very seriously by the Devon Police.

A bucket collection for the club of around £700 was recently stolen from the club and it has taken hours of reviewing CCTV tapes by an Exeter club supporter to pick out a possible suspect. It is understood that the police were not prepared to look through around 300 hours of tapes.

This robbery comes after it was alledged that some £4,000 may have been stolen from the bars at the club.

The forum on Exeweb.com carries most of the details of the robbery even including where the burgler may have left his prints.

It seems that when overtime is available, such as on Boxing Day, plenty of police will be all round the football club, but when a robbery takes place they don't really want to know.

Exeter City supporters have had a lot to put up with lately. A good turnout of Hereford United fans for the game next Sunday would show some solidarity (it isn't the Exeter fans fault that the game kicks off at 1pm) and at the same time back Graham Turner and his squad.
