So, my first ever blog. After much procrastination, excuse making and general displacement activity I’ve actually sat down and written something! If I’m honest, it’s all a bit scary. I’ve got no ‘blogging’ experience and yet I find myself sat in front of the computer typing as if I know what I’m doing.
So what’s needed in a first blog? I guess that you need to know something about me? The first hurdle – fundamentally I have no idea how to describe myself. In a desperate attempt to answer this (and in true lonely hearts fashion) I turned to my friends and asked them for three words...
It was in front of the biggest home gate of the season of 5,454, that Exeter City handed their Westcountry visitors Bristol Rovers both goals on a plate in a poor 2-1 home defeat.
Back-to-back defeats for the first time this season see City slip to fifth in the table and if they play like that much more it won't be long before they slip further.
Far too often the ball was needlessly given away with sloppy passing or simply hoofed up the pitch for someone else to take responsibility when it was crying out to be played on the floor either out wide or around the giant Rovers...
Playing professional football was once a future dream for all us young football fans, but for youngster Ethan Ampadu, that dream has become a reality.
Playing professional football since the age of just fifteen years old, Ampadu has significantly impressed for Exeter City throughout his short-lived career so far, gaining all sorts of accolades from some of the biggest names in Football.
1) Ampadu made his professional club debut aged just 15 years, 10 months and 26 days old against Brentford in the League Cup, becoming the clubs youngest ever player, breaking Cliff Bastin’s...
Jürgen Klopp confirmed Liverpool will once field a second string side for tonight's FA Cup tie with Exeter City at Anfield.
Klopp elected to make 11 changes for the original meeting with Exeter on January 8 in a game that ended in an enthralling 2-2 draw at St James Park.
The manager confirmed he is likely to select a similar line-up this time around, with several of the club’s Academy graduates and youngsters likely to be given another opportunity.
“There are different things we have to talk about and it is not always injury situations,” said Klopp.
Exeter City will head into their crucial clash with Southend United, knowing that they must avoid defeat if they are to remain hopeful of snatching a playoff spot this season. Exeter have lost back-to-back fixtures against Shrewsbury and Wycombe – which was settled by a 102nd minute penalty – and they now sit four points outside the playoffs with two favourable matches at the end of the campaign. There are five teams in the running for automatic promotion, and you can check out the odds, as well as other news, at Bookies website. We take a look at their remaining fixtures and give our...
Monday saw the 100th anniversary of the most horrific episode in human history: the start of World War One. The outbreak of war saw millions of people enlist to serve their country across Europe; including 15 first team Exeter City footballers, who made up around 2,000 professional footballers to enlist during the war.
In 1914, Buenos Aires's emerging football community sent an invitation to the FA for an English team to travel there to play local sides.
The Grecians embarked on an historic tour of South America, which saw them play in Argentina and Brazil, in the...
Exeter City were defeated 2-1 at the hands of AFC Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow in an entertaining but ultimately disappointing fixture.
The frustration was compounded because City had taken an early lead through a Jack Midson own-goal, heading Matt Grimes’ corner into his own net.
But Luke Moore levelled the game before the interval from close range, before Dons striker Midson earned his redemption by turning in a low cross 15 minutes from time as the turnaround was completed.
Added to the result, the sight of Grimes having...

For all the carnival-type festivities that are going along with Exeter City’s ‘Brazil Day’ match against AFC Wimbledon this weekend, it’ll be important to not detract from the small matter of three points at stake.
Both teams enter with an identical record in the opening exchanges – a win and a draw apiece to begin the Sky Bet League 2 campaign, and a proverbial ‘early bath’ from the Capital One Cup.
If the fixture is anything like the last encounter between the Grecians and the Dons, then it won’t be for the faint-hearted. A 2-2 draw at Kingsmeadow back in April – which...
Exeter City v Bristol Rovers Saturday 3rd August, 3pm St James Park Sky Bet League 2
After months of thumb-twiddling over the summer period for football fans across Exeter (and the whole country, for that matter), the Football League returns.
For the Grecians, there will be no easing into the season as a local derby against Bristol Rovers ensues. As well as local pride and three points at stake, there is also the small matter of vengeance for the City team following home and away defeats to the Pirates last season. New signing David Wheeler, who joined on Friday from...
