Exeter City are proud to be one of a small number of English professional clubs owned by their supporters. Since saving the club from near-liquidation in 2003, Exeter City Supporters’ Trust has held a majority shareholding, ensuring that the club is run for the long term, with the local community at its heart. Competing in League One as a fan-owned club brings unique challenges. Without wealthy owners or benefactors, Exeter City rely on careful financial management, the dedic

Barry Sansom – RIP Exeter City Supporters' Trust is saddened to learn of the death of Barry Sansom, a passionate supporter whose work was crucial to the Club’s survival in 2003.

Exeter City are never ceased to be amazed by our loyal and valued supporters. Standing by your Club, the rousing support at SJP, travelling in numbers away and of course the fire response all spring immediately to mind. Several years ago, the Club Board Chairman at the time, Richard Pym, in his first spell, had a simple but thoughtful idea: offer a free cup of tea to the first 50 away fans to arrive at St James Park. Since then, what began as a small gesture of hospitality h
