Thousands of people have lined the centre of Exeter to congratulate the city’s football club on their promotion winning season.
The team finished as League Two runners-up to ensure promotion to League One – the third tier of English football – for the first time since 2012.
On Monday evening [9 May], an open top bus parade was greeted with a sea of red and white as the players and staff slowly made their way from their ground, St James Park, to the historic Guildhall on the High Street.
An open top bus parade and Civic Reception will be held next week to celebrate Exeter City’s promotion to League One.
The parade will begin in Exeter High Street from 6pm on Monday 9 May.
There could be a double celebration if the Grecians win their last home game on Saturday and are crowned League Two champions.
But whatever the result on Saturday, Exeter have already clinched promotion and will be celebrating in front of thousands of fans in the city centre on Monday.
High Street will be closed to traffic for the parade, which will start when two open...
A giant new electronic screen at Exeter City Football Club’s ground, St James Park, has finally made its debut.
The club was given permission for the 29 x 17-feet (8.64 x 5.12 metre) LED screen by the city council around the start of the season last August, but delays meant fans had to wait until Saturday to see it in action for the first time.
It is situated behind the St James Road away end, nearest the recently built Stagecoach Adam Stansfield Stand, and will include pre-match videos, team news, the attendance...
Exeter City Council and Exeter City Football Club (ECFC) have won a national recycling award for their innovative scheme, Cans 4 City, which encourages Exeter football fans to recycle used drink cans while also raising money for charity.
The team behind Cans 4 City were presented with a Green Can Award by not-for-profit Every Can Counts in recognition of their outstanding recycling efforts.
The prize-giving took place during half-time in Saturday’s match against Hartlepool United, with over 5000 fans in attendance.
Plans for a giant new electronic screen at Exeter City Football Club’s ground, St James Park, have been submitted to the city council.
As part of major improvements this summer, the club plans to install the 8.64 x 5.12 metre (29 x 17 feet) LED scoreboard towards the corner behind the St James Road away end, nearest the recently built Stagecoach Adam Stansfield Stand.
Subject to approval by Exeter City Council’s planning department, the screen could be installed before the opening home League Two fixture of the season against Bradford City on Saturday 7 August.
Exeter City has successfully rehomed around 3,300 shares following a recent drive to find missing shareholders.
Over recent months, volunteers at the club have worked to find people - or relatives of those - who had bought £1 shares in the club, which had been issued a number of times to raise capital.
Most people acquired them because they were fans and wanted to support the club, and as such were primarily of sentimental value. The earliest shares dated back to the 1930s and had been passed down through people’s families.
