Exeter City will bring the curtain down on their three year stay in League One tomorrow with a home clash with promotion chasing Sheffield United at St James Park.
The Grecians' tenure in English football's third tier from 2009 to 2012 has been characterised by a number of great highs and great lows.
From their win over Leeds United in January 2010, their Devon derby successes over Plymouth Argyle in the league and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy respectively and their record equalling highest ever league finish last season to the untimely death of Adam Stansfield in August 2010 from bowel cancer to the 4-1 defeat to Carlisle United, which confirmed their relegation last week, Exeter's spell in League One has been eventful.
The challenge now facing manager Paul Tisdale is build a team that can bounce back to that level sooner rather than later.
One of his biggest challenges will be persuading many of key performers to stay at St James Park. Defender Billy Jones has already indicated that he is willing to remain with the Grecians and striker Daniel Nardiello has stated that he is willing to stay.
However, skipper David Noble has admitted he is unsure of where his future lies.
Nevertheless, on a positive note, in League Two the Grecians will be able to renew their rivalry with county neighbours Plymouth Argyle. The pair have faced each other four times in the past two seasons, in the league and Johnstone's Paint Trophy, with the Grecians on three occasions.
