ACCRINGTON WOUND UP-NO FIXTURE FOR CITY.

Exeter City are due to play at Accrington Stanley on Saturday, but last night an emergency meeting was called by the Lancashire club and they have gone into liquidation with debts of over £60,000, City secretary Keith Honey said this would save Exeter about £60, for Accrington would have to pay the £100 minimum guarnatee and it would cost Exeter approximately £160 in travelling and hotel expenses,

EXETER WILL NOT BE A SECOND ACCRINGTON.

Mr George Gillin, Exeter City vice chairman gave an assurance today that Exeter City will not become a second Accrington Stanley, He said if Mr Rose and himself had not been prepared to carry on and put money into the club, then Exeter City F.C, would not be here now. Certainly the club needs help but we are carrying on, The withdrawal of Accrington means that all games played against them this season are expunged from the records. In City's case this means no difference, but it does mean that they are now only three points clear of the bottom four.
