A stand was evacuated at Exeter City after reports of a fire.

The old Stagecoach stand was at the centre of the drama.

At first it was reported as a fire drill.

However, it has since emerged that a smoke grenade caused the alert.

The game, against Carlisle United, was halted for more than an hour.

It ended 2-2.

The club said police made an arrest at the stadium and have taken the suspect into custody.

Exeter City win away from home

OLLIE WATKINS' second goal in as many games earned all three points for Exeter City at Abbey Stadium.

Ryan Harley came back into the Exeter City line-up for this one, with Alex Nicholls nursing the facial injury he sustained in the midweek draw with Portsmouth. Tuesday's late goal hero Ollie Watkins continued in the starting eleven, while Cambridge were unchanged from their midweek win over Wycombe Wanderers.

If anyone could accuse City of starting slowly in recent games, that wasn't a valid claim this time around. Just two minutes were on the clock when David Wheeler...

Exeter City fight back

A LAST-GASP strike from Ollie Watkins salvaged a point for City against play-off chasing Portsmouth at St James Park.

During an otherwise largely uneventful first-half, Pompey academy product Conor Chaplin had left the Grecians one down at the half-time interval. But City displayed a great willingness to fight to the end by scoring another late goal, and this time it was Watkins who equalised at the death following an intricate one-two with Clinton Morrison.

City strike late to win at the Lamex

Substitute Jayden Stockley netted twice late-on as Exeter City returned to winning ways at the Lamex Stadium.

After being under the cosh for large chunks of the game, the Grecians defended resolutely to remain on level terms going into the final ten minutes. It was Stockley who then had the final say, breaking the deadlock in the eighty-fourth minute before scoring his and City’s second goal of the afternoon with seconds remaining.

Exeter City fall to Oxford, again

A RAMPANT Oxford United side scored two goals in each half to consign City to defeat in Paul Tisdale’s five-hundredth game in charge of the Grecians.

After a lively start to the encounter Oxford took the lead through a Chey Dunkley header in the eighth minute, before Jordan Bowery doubled the visitors' lead four minutes before first-half stoppage-time. A further two goals followed for the U’s in the second half to put the game out of the Grecians’ reach, but there was still time for City wide-man Alex Nicholls to pull one back with thirteen minutes remaining.

There was just...

Exeter City draw at home

City and the Exiles share the spoils at SJP

IN A REPEAT of the reverse tie at Rodney Parade in October, Exeter City were pegged back by Newport County AFC as both sides had to settle for a point.

Paul Tisdale made four changes to the City side following midweek’s trip to York City, with Jamie McAllister, Arron Davies, Alex Nicholls and David Wheeler all coming in.

The home side's first chance fell to Jayden Stockley, whose shot was deflected just wide of Newport keeper Joe Day’s goal. City continued to push for an opener as Alex Nicholls' right-footed free-kick was...

Exeter City lose to York

BRADLEY FEWSTER scored twice to condemn the Grecians to a 2-0 defeat at Bootham Crescent. JORDAN MOORE-TAYLOR returned as captain for Exeter City; Jake Taylor made his first start since rejoining the club in the January window, while Ryan Harley was another City man who made his return to the starting eleven after an appearance off the bench at Wycombe at the weekend. Matt Oakley and Jordan Tillson were the fourth and fifth changes from the weekend. This clash ended 0-0 at St James Park earlier in the season - the only time City have been involved in a goalless draw all season. City had...

Exeter City beaten at Adams Park

A WONDER GOAL from Wycombe Wanderers midfielder Stephen McGinn eight minutes after the half-time break proved the difference between the two sides as Exeter City’s run of Sky Bet League 2 victories came to an end at Adams Park. In a hard-fought contest City had chances to take the lead in the first-half. But the Chairboys flew out of the traps after the half-time interval – McGinn popping up with the decisive stroke in the fifty-third minute. Paul Tisdale made three changes to the side that came away from Hartlepool victorious a fortnight ago, with David Wheeler handed a start for the...
