Sounds like the Exeter loan players made a big difference

They have been bankrolled for many years by former player Dicky (now Sir Richard) Evans, now an exile in Kenya, who has now decided to throttle back that support from 2025.
However, he recently bunged in a final £2.5 million to ease the club into finding new backers.

Was this being realistic a prioritising exercise or genuine injuries?

The club tends to keep its cards close to its chest on such matters.
However, they have a few tight five injuries to my knowledge, plus at least two first-picks in the back five.
Losing Rigg, Chudley, Pellegrini and Wand has probably been the biggest hurdle though, and will need addressing before next season if there is any ambition to make that a campaign where they finally go for it.
Sharpy is getting no younger, so I really hope they can make a proper fist of it soon.

Great news, was trying to find a pub close to the ground to watch the football seeing as the tavern is sold out. Any idea if the screen if any good ?

To quote the Club "there are several large screens in the clubhouse. Advance ticket purchase is advised"

You win the league but then have to beat the last team to finish in the Prem. Utterly bonkers that rule is

The revenue gap is huge between the Championship and the Prem it’s as bad as the football situation, if not worse.
Forgive me if I’m wrong but bankrolled Ealing seemed to almost have two full decent squad’s against us on Saturday , they were bringing so many subs on. This is a team that averages just over a 1000 supporters for home games.
Money brought by wealthy benefactors has destroyed even competition in most sports.

Whenever I’ve been to Ealing there were no more than 5-600 home fans.

Was noticeable on Saturday that they brought no fans with them too, for probably their biggest game of the season.
