    Another proud day for the academy

    Correct on all counts. Full line-up and report here: https://grecianarchive.exeter.ac.uk/items/show/12047#:~:text=Mighty%20Manchester%20United%20were%20not,that%20touched%20greatness%20at%20times.

    It's 24 teams (6 groups of 4) but that's too many as well. And you have the farce of best 3rd placed teams going through to the knock out round.

    Choose the New Third Kit for Next Season

    The all-green was worn away to Liverpool in the 1979/80 League Cup 4th Round tie. We played them over two legs in the 2nd Round in 1981/82 and got an 11-0 aggregate chasing. We wore the yellow and blue away kit to the away leg (which I went to). The club produced an away scarf that had a...

    Choose the New Third Kit for Next Season

    Nope. It says in the article that the shorts will be red with a white trim. Will look a bit like the sort of kit Walsall used to play in.

    Choose the New Third Kit for Next Season

    Agree. In effect, we would end up wearing this kit in the away matches in which we could have worn the home strip anyway. I always like it when away clubs decide to wear their home kit at SJP, rather than pointlessly change it.

    Possibly an example of where playing at the main stadium in front of a big crowd doesn't always help.

    More history in here: https://www.exetermemories.co.uk/em/_streets/lions.php I can't recall if the mascots were intentionally named to refer back to this history, or if it's just a coincidence.

    Items now on Ebay

    Yes was literally replying now to say that! It's a bit of sharp practice on the part of the seller, and I'm not surprised to see they have a fair bit of negative feedback.

    An auction has recently ended on eBay for a complimentary match ticket stub for the City v Chelsea FA Cup match in 1951. Before looking at the link below, see if you can guess how much it went for. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186316324769

    The Serious Torquay Thread

    There's a timelag between the published accounts and the current state of play. As at end June 2022, the football club had long-term debts of just over £6 million. About £4.2 million of that was owed to the owner Clarke Osborne (via his company Riviera Stadium), which was unsecured. Even if...

    The Probability Thread 2024 … or … Putting a number to doomed!

    Teams don't *always* improve in the face of relegation. There are also teams that wilt under the pressure, MK Dons last year just couldn't buy a win. And my concern is that we *could* be one of those teams.

    The Probability Thread 2024 … or … Putting a number to doomed!

    Think this is the point. For it to require more than 49-ish points to stay up, you'd be asking about 7 or 8 sides to outperform their season so far. That could happen, but isn't very likely. So I suppose the probability reflects the likelihood of us getting fewer than about 8 points from 11...

    Former Players

    Had a chance to score the winner according to the BBC, but... "Stephen Robinson's side could have won it, too, as Olusanya turned provider for James Scott, only for the striker to slice his effort horribly wide when through on goal".

    The Probability Thread 2024 … or … Putting a number to doomed!

    Just dragging this up to the top. After yesterday, despite the disappointing result, our risk of relegation remained hovering around the 10% mark. Though, our chances of finishing in the top half reduced somewhat. http://www.probs4.club/team/ExeterCity Just to repeat, all those teams with...

    Exeter City Women 2023/24

    Yes, I think the focus on goal difference is probably a bit unhelpful. There are some tight matches in this league, and it wouldn't take much for teams like Moneyfields or Keynsham to take points off Bournemouth or Exeter. Am sure the management and players are just concentrating on getting the...

    Exeter City Women 2023/24

    The match preview suggests that Torquay Women have been improving recently, so just getting another 3 points in the bag is a good result. https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/2024/february/match-review-torquay-united-a/
