Exeter City’s FA Cup Record Since 1989
In the 26 seasons since the championship winning 1989/90 season, fortunes have been very mixed for the Grecians. There have been 63 FA Cup ties in that time, with defeats outnumbering wins by only 3, but 16 of those 63 ties resulted in a draw.
There have been 13 visits to the second round in that time, and from there 6 times in to the third round. Exeter have not progressed to the fourth at all in those 26 seasons.
We’ve been drawn to play at home 27 times, and to play away 21 times. During Paul Tisdale’s reign there has only been 4 times that he has seen the Grecians drawn to play at home, and 2 of those were in the 2006/07 season.
Overall those results come as follows:-
| P | W | D | L | F | A | GD |
| 63 | 22 | 16 | 25 | 81 | 87 | -6 |
