Ever wondered what the first league City game was when you were born?

[The mighty Grecian]

Born a day after our 2-1 loss away to Doncaster in the old 4th division 1988/1989 season

I remember that one well. A group of Doncaster hooligans were lobbing bottles onto the top of the stand and after the match they tailed our car looking very menacing until we lost them.

 

[Avening Posse]

A 1-1 draw away at Newport on my 2nd day..

Hmm Played on 30th Dec and 13th Jan. I was born on the 6th, so I guess the game was FA cup 3rd round.

Looked it up. 3-3 draw away at Grimsby. Won the replay 4-2. We then drew at home against Chelsea and lost the replay 2-0.

We won 5-1 at Oldham in the first game after I was born!

Beat Torquay at home the day after I was born. Not bad

Lost at Bradford 3 days before and Lost at Newport 4 days after.

I notice on 1st April 1974 it says
"Exeter City failed to turn up and Scunthorpe United awarded two points" What happened there then?!

Not the last time a City side has failed to turn up, but I assume it means literally.

Day after the 2-1 win at home to Fulham in 1995. Apparently we scored a cracker?

Due to injuries and illness we didn't have a fit XI. The football league didn't believe and so wouldn't allow us to have a postponement. We didn't travel and so was fined £5k.
