Today (Friday 13 September 2013) marks the 10th anniversary, to the day, of the Supporters' Trust purchasing the majority shareholding of Exeter City FC .
Ten years ago today Dr David Treharne and Martin Ellicott, on behalf of the relatively newly formed Supporters' Trust stepped out of Ivor Doble’s jewellery shop pinching themselves that they had just bought their football club!
The Club had been in turmoil for months since the arrest of fraudulent John Russell and Mike Lewis. Members of the Supporters' Trust had been trying to keep the Club in existence, and all summer...
Exeter City and Dagenham & Redbridge played out a 1-1 draw at Victoria Road, in a tempestuous game in the capital.
The breakthrough came midway into the first half for the Daggers, as Josh Scott profited from a breakdown in communication amongst the City rearguard and put the ball into an empty net.
Dagenham spurned opportunities to put daylight between the teams in the first half, and so Sam Parkin’s superb header in a much-improved second period brought the scores level to send the Grecians back to Devon with a point....
Exeter City’s under-18s made it back-to-back 5-0 victories as they defeated Torquay United by the same margin as they had defeated Swindon Town the two weeks prior at the Cat & Fiddle.
Ollie Watkins scored twice whilst fellow striker, Matt Jay bagged a hat trick, helping him earn his first call-up to the first team for Tuesday night’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy clash with Wycombe Wanderers.
With rivals Plymouth Argyle next up for the Grecians, the victory puts them in good form going into the Devon Derby.
The Football Association’s Chairman, Greg Dyke, has set the England football team with a target of winning the World Cup in 2022.

Speaking at a lunch hosted by England team sponsors Vauxhall, Dyke admitted the lack of English-qualified players currently playing in the Premier League was “serious, very serious”, and that he intended The FA to work “hand-in-hand” with the all sections of the game for the sake of the national team and...

After the protacted transfer finally came to a conclusion on Sunday evening (1 September), the club announced the news shortly after their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby.

Although it never really goes away, the Premier League returns to action today (Saturday 17 August) as the new season kicks off with the lunchtime fixture between Liverpool and Stoke City.

David Moyes steps into Sir Alex Ferguson's shoes - a daunting task, but one the former Everton manager will relish. Manchester United have yet to...
A goal on debut is special. A goal with your first touch on debut is extra special. When it's your international debut for England against Scotland, at the age of 31, having played only one season in the Premier League, it's the stuff of dreams.
So it was that Rickie Lambert came off the bench to score England's winner in the first encounter between England and Scotland since 1999. A terrific header from a Leighton Baines cross ended Scotland's sterling effort against...
