Hoping someone can help me with the answer to this question:

How many seasons have we finished above Exeter? And how many seasons have they finished above us?

Interesting question. Don't know the answer (yet) but it reminded me of a journalist friend who, for a very short time, was able to call Torquay United, "No.1 team in Devon". He's not so vociferous now.

I don't think there is anything in ancient history which needs to be considered. In the last 50 years, there were 3 consecutive years when we finished in the same division below the greasy 'uns, 1977/78, 78/79 and 79/80. That was, of course, the old Div 3 (3rd tier). We ended 1 place below them in 1998/99 which was Div.3 (4th tier). The only times it happened after that was in the aftermath of the financial collapse between 2011 and 2013. Even Torquay finished above us in 2011/12.
