GRECIANS LEAD THE WAY IN WESTCOUNTRY

After winning two league games on the trot, Exeter City currently find themselves as the highest placed team in the South West.

This is a far cry from the dark days the Chairmanship of John Russell which saw the Grecians relegated from the Football League in 2003 and nearly go out of business at the same time.

However, under the managerial reign of Paul Tisdale Exeter have won back to back promotions from the Conference to League One between 2008 and 2009. Following the consolidation of their League One status last season, Tisdale will be looking to help the Grecians to establish at this level during the 2010-11 season.

Recently the club has been in the media limelight following the death of striker Adam Stansfield from bowel cancer. But following a home win over Charlton Athletic and an impressive 3-2 away victory over Hartlepool United, the Grecians currently lie 12th in League One.

Summer signing John O'Flynn bagged a brace in their win at Hartlepool and if he can maintain his scoring form then the Grecians could surprise a few people.
