(NewsPoint) –The Tour de France route for 2013 has finally been revealed. It will begin on the French island of Corsica on 29th June and will be the 100th race, marking the centenary of the famous race.

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale is determined to put right the Grecians home form after seeing his side lose 1-0 at home to Chesterfield on Saturday. A first-half header by Chris Atkinson was enough to secure the visitors the points and leave the Grecians without a victory in 3 home games.

The Grecians boss said: “We were not good enough... it wasn’t a good enough performance and it was a bit confused.

“Our direction wasn’t cohesive we didn’t have that common direction with our play.

“There wasn’t a lack of honesty or will, those things can be questioned when you...

Former England goalkeeper David James, who has been training with Exeter City, says the row over racism in football has not been helped by the FA's slowness to respond to the John Terry case.

The debate was intensified over the weekend when Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was among a number of players who did not wear a campaign T-shirt in the warm-up against Stoke.

However, Professional Footballers' Association chairman Clarke Carlisle has defended the protest against the Kick It Out anti-racism campaign.

Three years ago this weekend Exeter Chiefs were gearing themselves up for a home date with Rotherham Titans in the first year of the new-look RFU Championship.
