Welcome to St James Park! Home of the the Grecians, Exeter City! St James Park was opened in 1904 and has been the home of Exeter City ever since. It currently has a capacity of 8,219. Prior to 1904, Exeter United FC played its games here and after merging with St. Sidwell's United, the ground was leased to the newly formed Exeter City with the contract stipulating that "no menageries, shows, circuses or steam roundabouts" were to be allowed on the premises.
There are two waypoints to gather information at around the ground.
At the first waypoint there is a sign on the bridge with a telephone number: 0ABCD EDDECF
At the second waypoint there is a sign telling you which way the different numbered gates are. To the left (in order): G, H & J, and to the right (in order): K, L, M & N
The final coordinates can be found at:
N 50 HD.(N+K)(G+A)(J-E) W 003 (K+L)A.(E-H)B(C-H)
Stealth is required, especially on matchdays.
