    Apparently it's the first time we've won 7 in a row since 1955 - the only other time it's happened.

    Re: so lets mek it a straight eight next week then

    8 consecutive defeats and 8 consecutive victories in the same season. That would be truly mental. Would be a good pub quiz question though.

    It was re-tweeted by David Wood, club historian, but checking it looks to be wrong...

    It was Torquay they had a coloured lad up front, Les Lawrence, what a player he was.

    I think the Exeter game you're referring to was late in Jim Iley-out's reign? 1977 I think. At that time I lived in Holmfirth and travelled to games with my Dad. He was away on business so I got the bus (had to change in Scisset I think). We were cruising at half-time but fell apart in the second and the "Iley Out" chants were ringing around the Ponty. It was a depressing bus journey home!
