This year sees the 120th anniversary of the formation of Exeter City as St Sidwell's United. The Exeter City Football Club Museum Trust is planning to mark this milestone with various initiatives. We aim to focus on the St Sidwell's United story and are currently at the research stage. This is where we are looking for help. Among the things we are looking at are:
* Original documentation, newspaper reports etc
* Matches, results and goalscorers (East Devon Junior League 1: 1901-3 and East Devon Senior League Division 1: 1903-4)
* The first ground: St Sidwell's played on a pitch where Monks Road is now situated. It was commonly known as the Pinhoe Road ground. St Sidwell's played here until 1903 when they moved to St James Park. So the Pinhoe Road ground is the club's first ground.
* Photographs of the the St Sidwell's team (and/or their great rivals Exeter United), matches and the Pinhoe Road ground.
If anyone can help with any of these or anything else related to this early part of our history please contact us at [email protected]
