Thirty-one people in Exeter will no longer be exempt from the "Bedroom Tax" after changes to government legislation, announced by Exeter City Council earlier today. The "tax" sees people in social housing lose up to a quarter of their housing benefit if they are considered to be under-occupying the property by the Government. However, it was discovered before last Christmas, that 31 people in Exeter had been paying the tax unnecessarily due to piece of legislation overlooked by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). While this saw some Exeter residents receive refunds the Government...
Liam Sercombe rescued a point for Exeter City right at the death as the Grecians drew 1-1 with Portsmouth at St James Park.
Jake Jervis side-footed Pompey in front in the first half, and the away side had for a long time looked like heading back to the South Coast with a rare three points after an open second period. But Sercombe had other plans, as his deflected effort at the end of second-half injury time saved the draw.
After joining the Grecians from Bristol Rovers in a two-way loan swap for Alan Gow on Friday, Eliot Richards...
Children love Exeter City Football in the Community department’s holiday football courses and we're hoping parents will love our 10 per cent discount for all half-term bookings made up until 5pm on Valentine's Day. But while there might be love in the air, there’s every chance there might also be rain, so FITC have ensured rain won’t stop play this half term. “Given the weather we have been experiencing this winter, we've booked as many indoor facilities as we can,” Scott Walker, sports development officer at Football in the Community, said. “Although children are on a break from the...
Exeter City and Bristol Rovers have agreed a two-way loan deal which will see Alan Gow and Eliot Richards switch clubs for the remainder of the 2013/14 season.
22-year-old Welshman Richards turned pro in 2009, having come through the youth ranks at the Pirates with a prolific goalscoring record. The young forward has gone on to represent Rovers on over 100 occasions, as well as representing his country at Under-19 level.
He also has experience of scoring at St James Park – Richards netted the winner for the Gas in the 2012/13 season as the visitors won 2-1, as well as...

Report: Burton Albion 1 Exeter City 1 Exeter City and Burton Albion shared the points with a 1-1 draw at the Pirelli Stadium, in an entertaining game on a difficult surface.
Both goals came within a three-minute period in the second half – and the opener came in familiar fashion for both teams. Burton, who had turned in two own-goals the previous weekend, did the same again as Ian Sharps put the ball into his own net after stopper Dean Lyness failed to hold a rocketed effort by John O’Flynn. It was the third time in four games that City had gone ahead courtesy of an opponent...
For the second time this season, Exeter City and Oxford United played out a goalless stalemate as defences came out on top in a 0-0 at St James Park.
Chances came and went at both ends – no better than a late header from Danny Coles in front of the Big Bank which was unfathomably saved – but neither team could burst the net.
For City, it was a much-needed clean-sheet but disappointingly it ended all-square with some inspirational goalkeeping from Ryan Clarke and some wayward shooting.
Exeter City fell to a stoppage-time winner at the hands of Bristol Rovers, as the Pirates triumphed 2-1 at the Memorial Stadium.
The Grecians took a lead midway through the first period when Lee Brown mistakenly looped the ball into his own net, but barely a minute had passed when Rovers were back level as O’Toole made no mistake from the spot.
Despite chances at either end after the break, the game appeared to be tailing out all-square as neither side could burst the net again.
Grecians into the quarter-final with win over Rovers
It was another famous night for the youngsters of Exeter City as they secured a place in the quarter-final of the Under-21 Premier League Cup.
City claimed another scalp and dominated the fixture throughout and were desperately unlucky to be the team trailing as Jordan Preston headed Rovers into the lead late in the first-half.
But quick-fire goals after the interval by Scot Bennett and Jimmy Keohane gave the Grecians the lead they deserved and a place in the last eight of the nationwide competition – and...
Exeter City lost a pulsating clash 1-0 to Mansfield Town, as the wait for a win at St James Park continues.
But the scoreline does little to depict the true story of the game as City threw everything at their opponents and will feel aggrieved not to have taken anything from a game in which they greatly dominated in great swathes and hit the post three times.
After taking the lead on the stroke of half-time, through Lee Stevenson, Mansfield were subject to a second half onslaught of pressure as Exeter pressed and pressed to score. It...
