The Exeter City Supporters Trust has welcomed a massive boost to its plans for celebrating the history of St James Park, home of Exeter City Football Club since the early 20th century.
A bid to document, preserve and share the history of the ground, submitted by the University of Exeter working in partnership with the Trust’s History Group, has been successful in attracting grants of £29,100 with the main contribution coming from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The wide ranging project will include:

Exeter City held newly crowned Sky Bet League Two champions Northampton Town to a goalless draw at St James Park.
Though without a goal the match was not without its drama as City’s opponents needed results to go their way to be crowned champions.
With City’s eyes focused on the play-offs, Chris Wilder’s side proved a tough test for the Grecians, who did have the better of the chances in the match.
Good opportunities fell to Jayden Stockley and Jake Taylor, with the former crashing a header against the post in the second half, and Taylor failed to convert the...

Exeter City faced Crawley Town on Saturday in a tense game that Exeter looked to be winning 2 – 1 until the final minutes of play when Crawley managed to squeeze in an extra goal, leaving players and fans devastated at the 2 – 2 draw. Theoretically, Exeter should have won. However, from the perspective of the live crowd it was clear that Crawley deserved their equaliser; it was a miracle they hadn’t scored their second goal earlier.
Football fan or not, a trip to St James’ Park is essential for any student...
Paul Tisdale made two changes to the side which won at Dagenham & Redbridge in midweek, with Matt Oakley and Arron Davies both coming into the side. York, meanwhile, included James Berrett, who scored their winning goal over Yeovil Town on Tuesday.
The visitors began the game on top, but failed to create any clear openings in the opening exchanges. As City started to grow into the game, they showed promise along the flanks, with Lee Holmes popping up on both sides and looking bright, but they also suffered from a lack of chances....
