After having permission granted by the Football League, Exeter City will be wearing the new yellow third strip for the first time when AFC Wimbledon visit St James Park on Saturday 17th August (kick-off 3pm).
Thanks to cooperation of the League and AFC Wimbledon – who will be wearing their all-white kit for the fixture – the new kit will grace the Park for the first time. The Grecians will line up in yellow shirts, blue shorts and blue and white socks.
The fixture is the Grecians’ designated ‘Brazil Day’, when the 99...
Following a goalless draw against Mansfield Town, Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale gave his verdict of the meeting.
While there was nothing lacking in effort and desire from the City players, Paul left Field Mill feeling as though the team were sometimes trying to strike before the iron was hot. The Grecians played with plenty of vigour but decisions weren’t given enough consideration and saw the play break down before a clear-cut chance was forged.
“I think we’ll travel back on the coach thinking that it’s a good point and a clean sheet away from home, and I’m sure we’ll...
The Grecians ended pre-season in forceful fashion with a 7-1 victory away at Chippenham Town.
Goals by Jake Gosling, Matt Jay (twice), Tom Nichols, Jimmy Keohane, Ollie Watkins and Jordan Tillson made light work of the Bluebirds – despite City only leading 1-0 into the final period.
The hosts had in fact themselves levelled through Isaac Reid, before the Grecians opened the floodgates.
City took a young side to Hardenhuish Park for the final pre-season fixture at Chippenham Town. Jacob Wannell took on the captain’s duties, whilst...
Despite poor weather, Met Office solar PV has generated more than estimated in first year.
A year after a 250 kW solar PV array was installed at the Met Office HQ Exeter, and – despite some terrible weather over the past 12 months – the system has still out-performed initial estimations.
The sun may be in full view now (with the Met Office predicting below average rainfall and above average temperatures throughout July) but official statistics show that 2012 was one of the wettest years on record for the UK and June 2012 was the least sunny in records dating back to 1910....
Exeter City have completed the signing of striker Sam Parkin, subject to international clearance.
The 32-year-old front-man moves back to England to join the Grecians after having spent three seasons playing north of the border – for St Johnstone, Queen of the South, and most recently Scottish Premier League side St Mirren, with whom he won the Scottish League Cup last season.
After starting his playing career as a youth player at Chelsea, Parkin went on to have permanent spells with Swindon (with a better than one-in-two strike-rate over his three seasons) Ipswich, Luton...
Exeter City will be hosting Swansea City in a pre-season friendly at St James Park on Sunday 21 July (kick-off 3pm).

Ticketing prices and arrangements will follow in due course.
There was heartbreak for the Saudi Arabia team in the final of the Exeter City Supporters' Trust-backed annual diversity football tournament held on Sunday 9 June at the University of Exeter.
The Saudis battled back to level three times in a 4-4 draw with local Exeter side Cronies. But it was the Cronies, led by Player Manager and Exeter City fan Matt Webb, who edged the penalty shoot out 3-2. The Saudis had the consolation of winning the Fran Jenkin Fair Play Award.
Twelve teams took part with the Cronies reaching the final after beating Palestine United 2-1 in the semi...
