I can't believe I am reading this. Dacre was one of the first people I met at a first work party - in the early days when a Sunday morning would mean eight of us spending two hours to sweep-up the ground: Dacre (along with Pete Bish) was at the helm, as he clearly was of so many things Grecian.

I have been lucky enough to avoid coming too close to the shadow of death during my life so far, but I don't think I have ever been so stunned, or shocked, by the announcement of a passing.

Rest In Peace.

Once again, dreadfull news to wake up to.

Sincere condolances to relatives and friends.

RIP Ghurka Boy.

Terrible news.

Was never able to go to a workparty for various reasons, but always wanted to.

Will have to make some kind of pilgrimage and finally put this wrong right.

R.I.P Dacre, a true Grecian who epitomised ECFC and the trust run ethic.

Finally, I'd just like to thank everyone who has ever attended work parties, stayed for after game clean ups, took part in Grecian Goal or simply just turned up at the ground to help Dacre out. I know that he appreciated anyone who was willing to come down and help, and it meant a lot to him that so many people did so.

The work parties were always an absolute pleasure, knowing you could help out and they were always the better for the food and drink Dacre organised for us. He spoilt us really and we will miss him.

Sweeping up after the game this Saturday just won't be the same.

All best wishes to you and your family Pete.

What very, very sad news. I can't claim to have known Dacre well but like so many people involved with Exeter City he was someone I knew to say hello to. However, long I have been away from Exeter and the park he was the sort of familiar face I would look forward to seeing. As others have already said he was the sort of unsung, behind-the-scenes hero that is easy to take for granted but he was a huge part of the reason why Exeter City is now so much more successful on and off the pitch. Like everyone else my thoughts go out to his family and friends.
