Holiday weekend travel demand 'incredible' - Caldwell

Gary Caldwell has been in charge at Exeter since October 2022

Exeter manager Gary Caldwell has criticised the club's fixture list saying it is "incredible" they have to play back-to-back away games around the Bank Holiday weekend.

Following their almost eight-hour round trip to Wycombe on Tuesday, the Grecians will travel five hours up to Northampton, to play on Saturday.

"To have to recover so quickly after playing midweek, I find it incredible we have to play Saturday away from home on a Bank Holiday weekend," Caldwell told BBC Radio Devon.

"I see other teams playing two home games, and yet we have to do it. I'm sure [the EFL] could do something about that."

Other than fellow Devon, and League One, side Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City clock up among the most miles of any club in the English Football League each season.

"I'm sure whoever has to do the fixture list has a difficult problem, but they should come on the bus with us and see what that does.

"It's a test we have to overcome, but we're ready to do it."

Caldwell also addressed the current situation over adding more signings before the end of the transfer window on 1 September.

Having already brought in 10 new players this summer, Caldwell said the club "knows what it wants" in terms of further potential arrivals.

"I wouldn't say we're close to getting someone in, but so many things change day by day and we're assessing everything," he said.

"There's a long time to go, and we're hoping to bring two players into the building.

"We know exactly the type of player we want, we just need to find the right ones."
