- THE HISTORY OF EXETER CITY - The Grecians started out in 1901 as St Sidwell’s United.It was on May 31, 1904, during the club’s annual meeting at the Red Lion Hotel in Sidwell Street, that the decision was taken to change the name of the club to Exeter City Association Football Club. The St Sidwell’s nickname Grecians was kept. People from the St Sidwell’s area of Exeter traditionally referred to themselves as Greeks or Grecians. In November 1910 City wore red and white stripes for the first time, replacing the green and white first worn by St Sidwell’s United in 1901. The club did make a historic tour of South America in 1914, during which time they played against teams in Argentina and Brazil. In the latter country, they became the first club to play against the Brazilian international team. Exeter City was invited by the Football League to become founder members of the Third Division in 1920. Back at St James Park, however, the early-1930s were among the most successful in the Exeter City’s history. In 1931 City enjoyed an excellent run in the FA Cup reaching the sixth round before losing to Sunderland in a replay at St James Park in front of a record crowd of 20,984. In 1990 Terry Cooper’s team won the Fourth Division Championship, remaining unbeaten at home all season. However, the club were back in the bottom division four years later Finances continued to improve, and the club embarked on a redevelopment scheme for St James Park, which included the Big Bank end of the ground and the demolition of the Cowshed terrace to be replaced with an all-seater stand, together with refurbishment of the former St James School building into new offices, social club and corporate hospitality/conference and banqueting facilities.2002/03 season City were relegated to the Football Conference after 80 years in football league and would rejoin football league in 2007-08 and in 2008-09 won promotion to league relegated back to league 2 three years later.

This brings back so many memories for me. I remember being on my Dad's shoulders when we got promoted in 1990 and invading the pitch. Being a ball boy for the club which meant free admission and a fantastic view of the game. Then relegation, administration, the Man Utd games, double promotion and the fact that the fans own the club. Great video. This needs more views!
you Grecians’ experience from the 60s to the early 00s is near identical to your closest easterly league neighbours from Dean Court. the odd big scalp , selling nearly every hero to keep afloat ,legends whom stayed but unknown elsewhere, regular relegation battles , very few promotions & just one visit to the 2nd tier , last minute rescues thanks to fans’ whip rounds ,big name managers whom did nothing & the year after rebuilding the ground end up at 92nd !
I’ve followed AFCBournemoth since Ted Mc Dougall but since promotion to the top division in 2015 there’s a weird disconnect - whether it because its so surreal & no cherries fan ever believed they’d be there or their becoming a permanent underdog cog amongst the crazy money world of non stop international player trading , I can’t decide but I’d rather Boscombe do the double over southampton & be relegated to the championship than escape having been beaten by them both matches so totally get that season when Exeter beat Argyle home & away.
excuse my waffle & hope City will be regularly meeting southampton in the league come 24/25 👍
Interesting even though i'm a Argyle fan
Where exeter city where top of the league
@@emmalee6585Your Emma Lee You don't know how to spell.
My dear mum used to tell me about how my grandfather got a ticket to see the mighty Manchester United back in 1969 at St. James Park. What an occasion that must've been.
Yes . I was 5 & my older brother & me loved Bestie & young Willy Morgan cos they were unusual for top sportsmen in having extremely hip longish hair & it was another 2 years until a player with proper long hair made football headlines which was Charlie George in the FA cup final !
Your granddad was indeed very fortunate to see a real Legendary team & at his local club . 👍
I like the fact that Exeter haven’t moved to an identikit box like so many other clubs
Fantastic
Come on you mighty Grecians! No mention of the Uri Geller phase though...still, probably best forgotten.
um dia quando vira jogador profissional gostaria muito de jogar pelo exeter sou um fan brasileiro ... vaii exeter
I'm guessing there was a copyright complaint about the music?
the league needs teams at the western end of the south so thank the gods that Exeter & B’mouth rode the storms of the 00s & I hope the resolve of hardcore fans of Yeovil Torquay Weymouth Bath or even Salisbury can inspire that same confidence to keep them on the football map to gain attention from soccer loving potential owners if push comes to shove . Heroes of the past like Graham Rees really do deserve honorary plaques because they make the difference when smaller fish are in a shitstorm or shitpond of a season..🙄😁👍
Can I ask a question? Did a guy called Alan vinnicombe ever play for the club? He claims he did.
what season man
I'm not sure he is 60 now so it would be a while ago the 80s in guessing
@@christinemitchell9849 Christopher Vinnicombe 46 games 2 goals in 1989
@@PaniniMattGFC1893 thank you but that not him exactly what I suspected. Good luck in the coming season guys
@@christinemitchell9849 Alan used to be the compere on the pitch at half time.. he was a local d.j and was right up his own arse... he never played for the club
