It was another home disappointment for Exeter City as they went down 1-0 at St James Park to fellow strugglers Northampton Town.

Chris Wilder’s side scored the game’s only goal in the second half through a well-taken finish by substitute Ian Morris, the Irishman’s first touch since coming on.

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale named a completely unchanged starting line-up to face Chris Wilder’s Northampton Town tonight at St James Park.

Both the Grecians’ starting XI and the bench looked the same as they were for Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge, and...

Sam and I have been fairly regular visitors to Crealy over the years and it never fails to amaze me how much the park grows each year.

This year is certainly no exception as Crealy is celebrating its 25th birthday, and to mark the anniversary...
