It was confirmed on the 8th February that Bristol Rovers had signed City's top scorer Alan Gow on loan for the rest of the season, in a loan swap deal that saw 22-year-old Eliot Richards switching the other way. At the time there was speculation that this was down to Exeter City's finances and that they couldn't afford to keep Gow, so they had to settle for the young Richards.
Both players contracts are up at the end of the season and the latest news from Bristol, despite the fact the Scot is now out injured until the end of the season, is that John Ward wants to...
This time last season when these two sides met on the 30th March at Home Park it was the Green half of Devon who claimed the bragging rights after beating the Grecians by a goal to nil. At that time it was roles reversed in the league as City were in the play off pack and Argyle were amongst the relegation candidates. It is completely the opposite now as Exeter sit 17th and their neighbours in 9th.
The city faithful will go into this derby fixture buoyed by their teams battering of the Cod army (Fleetwood) 3-0 on Saturday. Even so,...

After the heartbreak of a last-gasp defeat to local rivals Bristol Rovers last weekend, it’s back on the horse for City this week and a home fixture against Morecambe.
The Shrimps arrive in Devon on a bit of a dry run themselves.
A 1-1 draw at home against Wycombe Wanderers last weekend took them to four games without a victory on the bounce for the first time this season, and similarly to City there is an air of importance in trying to get back into the play-off places that they occupied in the early months.
Part of that good patch that the Shrimps had early in the...
