A little diversion while we wait impatiently for new signings to arrive from Barcelona or Brora ... Pick a team made up of players who have managed Exeter City in the club's history (not including caretaker managers for a game or two). Assume the players are at their peak. Rate them only as...

New competition, new thread starter, new result? Please don't say we can concentrate on the league. We're ECFC, we do cups. "Whatever will be, will be ..."

I'll take the hit for this one. Not over-confident, but never mind. In caretakers we trust. If we're 3-0 down remember 1977. That is all.

(note: not meant to be yet another Taylor or Tisdale thread, see elsewhere) Here's an incomplete list of ECFC managers moving on, jumping or pushed. Feel free to correct or add. Definitely not sacked - Taylor, Inglethorpe, Dolan, Peters, Ball, Cooper, Saxton, Newman ... (before that, no idea)...

Thinking back to earlier ones ... 1964: well before my time, but I can recall a retrospective much later, showing David Vine on Westward TV, with fans at (I think) St David's station. City's only "black and white" promotion! 1977: plenty of memories for this one, I was at school. After the...

The ultimate test for a spotter's gold badge ... A good (detailed) article from the Guardian about the history of the armband. Niche, but there you go. :) Used in Europe for decades, before it was common in the Football League So who was the first ECFC captain to wear one? Did anyone notice...

Britain is waiting with baited breath as political leaders attempt to form a government. Under the traditional British constitution, which dates all the way back to 2010, a party leader must persuade His Majesty Paul Tisdale that they have the support of a majority of MPs. David Cameron is...

Paul Fletcher was a useful striker for Burnley in the 1970's. He joined Blackpool in 1980 when Tony Kellow was there, and so Kellow was promptly transferred back to City, for a club record fee. Ironically, Kellow played his first game for the Grecians (second time around) against Blackpool...

Enough said! Thank you to all the people who saved our club, re-built our club, and now have yet another incredible day to savour. Thanks for believing, and achieving. Take a bow!

Worst wins. Here's mine: Game over. I won. (it's an Italian lower league club, Fossombrone).

… is a lie. Hello Steve Rookes, or “shoe”, or now, “Alf Garnet”. I did not comment publicly yesterday, because I thought you might come to your senses and own up to your sick joke in the Social Club thread. But you’ve had long enough. People have taken you at your word and have been saddened...
