The Exeter Exiles were founded in November 1991 after (yet) another uninspiring game at Leyton Orient. The intention was to provide a focus for City fans living away from Devon, particularly in London and the South East. The membership is predominantly in this region, but latterly anywhere in the UK and abroad (Paris, Switzerland, France, Spain, America & Australia to name but a few). Early on in our existence, we joined APFSCIL (The Association of Provincial Football Supporters Clubs in London), recognising the importance of uniting with fellow supporters over common causes. We have had successful teams in the APFSCIL football and pool leagues and an unsuccessful one in darts, as well as trying to make an annual outing in the Home Counties' Quiz League Cup (we've never actually made it past the first round but it's the taking part that counts, right!). Our football team has made progress from last but one in Division 3 in its first season to promotion and a series of mid-table finishes in Division 2. They gained promoted to the top division a few seasons ago and are holding their own in this division. We have enough interest to run a B(auys) team who have played in Divison 3 for the last two seasons. If you are interested in playing in either team, please e-mail Alan Crockford. The pool team has been running since the mid 90s and this season enjoyed it's best ever performance, league runners up and cup winners. E-mail Giles Beattie if you're interested in playing for us or coming along to a match. Lastly the aforementioned Darts Team are finally having some small sucess in Division 3 of the APFSCIL league and recently beat our close rivals Argyle! If you're interested in joining the Darts team or coming along to supports us then e-mail Ian Lamey. Most importantly, though, we exist to get people to City games. Neil Le Milliere is the travel officer and he is able to purchase tickets via First Great Western for trips to Exeter for approximately £30 each when 4 people travel together giving members great savings on the normal prices. Even more importantly we organise travel to all away games getting good deals on all journeys if we book in advance. We're usually able to get cheaper fares than people can get on their own and, of course, there's the added bonus of a group of die-hard Grecians with whom to share the journey, the banter and the cider armadillos. Contact Neil on the e-mail address below to get details about any trip or to go on the mailing list for details of all trips throughout the season. Membership of the Exiles for the current season is £10. For this you receive:
The Official Club Website can be found at . The website with Exeter Chat on its message boards is at www.exeweb.com. The Exeter Express & Echo website is at www.thisisexeter.co.uk. The ECFC Supporters Trust website is at www.ecfcst.org.uk. The Norwegian Exeter Supporters Club can be found at www.exeter.no. GNet - The Exeter City FC Mailing List, grew out of some emails between a few fans when one of them - Dan Rice - originally set up the list (to get more people involved). It is currently hosted by Googlegroups and anyone wishing to join should contact Neil Le Milliere, details below. GNET is primarily a site for any and all Exeter City fans to express their personal views and thoughts about the club in general and football in particular. However, it is also a way to advertise the club to as wide an audience as possible and also to get your views to the Board of Trustees of the Supporters Trust.
