Next year marks the 25th Anniversary of Exeter City Football Club’s one and only league title win since 1989/90. Over the course of this week, our aim is to investigate the events and legacy of this season through as many documentary sources as possible, to digitally document these sources, and to produce a narrative of the season which reflects both what happened on and off the pitch that year.
Fact of the Day: The year that Exeter last won a League title was the same as the last time Liverpool won one – during the 1989/90 season!
Following the lectures and seminars this morning, our group headed to St James Park, home of Exeter City F.C. Throughout the week we will be based in the Chairman’s exclusive boardroom and box where we will assess relevant content from the club’s archive in order to create content for the City fan website grecianvoices.com including images, a poster and a short documentary film.
The material in the archives was collected by dedicated fans and includes programmes, newspapers and other memorabilia from the full range of Exeter City’s 110 year history.
We took a multimedia tour of the stadium using an interactive map. This map contextualised the history of the site by providing information at relevant points on the tour.
