The Devon Derby | A Football Documentary

A Football Documentary produced by Charlie King Productions.
The Devon Derby - a term used to describe a fixture that consists of the county’s two footballing titans: Exeter City and Plymouth Argyle.
In a recent survey, the Devon derby between the Pilgrims and the Grecians was ranked the second most fierce in England, behind only the South coast clash between Portsmouth and Southampton.
Of course, supporters of any club involved in such intense rivalry would challenge that, but there is no denying that there is more than just an edge - and certainly more than three points up for grabs - when the green part of the Westcountry comes up against the red half of Devon.
Clashes between The Pilgrims and Grecians date back to 1908 when the two clubs first met in a Southern League fixture. Exeter ran out 2-1 winners and followed that up with a 1-0 friendly win on Boxing Day of that year.
The return league fixture ended in a 4-0 win for the Pilgrims, who also beat City 2-0 in an FA Cup clash that same season. Little did anyone know at the time, a rivalry was born that was to grow and grow over the next 110 years and counting…

As a German, I didn't really have this derby on my mind when it comes to English football. I'd throw any Premier League ticket into the dustbin to watch one of these 'smaller' derbies as someone who loves the atmosphere of football in the Championship and below. Thank you so much for your this brilliant documentary and congratulations to PAFC for their promotion!

[@chrisboddy8009]

Thank you!!

[@charliekingproductions]

Its definately a derby that isnt very looked upon especailly being so high in the ranking for the fiercest games in England. It was a great atmosphere as you can see. The fans were on it and chanting upto the stadium and even after the game they were both still going at it! Your very welcome, and thank you for watching and commenting lovely words!

[@thejannerofplymouth3654]

Great vid .... everyone thinks its all about so called big club derby's but these matches are everything to the fans .. At least exeter are only 40 miles away from the championship now , thats as close as they will ever get .. Great vid 👌

[@charliekingproductions]

The atmosphere is amazing there, fans back at fourth all day long. That’s why I had to document this! - Thank you!

[@cornishjanner5465]

An amazing documentary mate I absolutely loved this! Was at the Halloween game and was quite frankly one of the games of the season! As a Plymouth fan myself, I can see what the Exeter fans wanted from their perspective at half time, since annoyingly I couldn’t go to this game, but I was watching it in Plymouth at Home Park itself for my video but obviously at the end of the day, this was a HUGE win for us, helping us get promoted too but Exeter to be fair can pat themselves on the chin, it’s been a superb first season back for Exeter in League One but nevertheless, a superb season for the Far South West of Devon & Cornwall as a whole (with the exception of Torquay). Not just the result of course I loved though about this 😏 but the cinematography, storytelling, content, and the ferocity of the derby itself! Absolutely mindblowing mate! Honestly well done man 👏👏👏 I can’t wait for The Championship next season bring it on!!!!! Up The Janners! Up The Argyle! Up The Greens! Up The Pilgrims! Up The Plymouth! 💚

[@charliekingproductions]

It's been an unbelievalbe season for both teams this season. With being somewhat local to these two clubs it was definately one to tick off on the bucket list and I'm glad you really enjoyed the video and to leave the kind words means so much to me as a young and upcoming creative in the scene!

[@pilgrim789]

I think we can all agree that this derby is way better when its played at home park, more fans, a complete stadium etc

[@thogden]

Great work 👏

Great videooooo

[@willtheporridge]

Very well put together, it’s more a Exeter documentary than a Devon Derby but I enjoyed the watch

[@LocalNoob_2]

only 75 subs and this amount of quality? Underrated as fuck

[@hadley7734]

this is amazing

[@JamieDunn-cc5tc]

Good concept although I found the documentary quite biased towards city💚the greens are going up💚

[@shaunmccoy1969]

I thought that too.

[@NaturalEnganche]

Greatjob on the Doc, never realized these two had such a heated rivalry

[@alex-gf7mk]

Exeter fans are obsessed with us like 95% of their chants are about us when we only sing about them in the actual derbies

nice highlights shown from an unusual angle - but it is not a documentary.

The production value is CRAZY for a 25 subscriber channel. It's criminal u don't have more ppl following u

The picture early on showing Tony Kellow scoring, with the old 'cowshed' in the background was actually against Torquay, not Plymouth.

Devon is green 💚💚💚 green army!

[@aidy6000]

Have been to Exeter to take in a game. On a Sunny evening it is one of the nicest grounds in England.

[@grahambyrne7868]

Were you pissed 😂💚💚💚

[@ryanmee3546]

Must've not been to many grounds then 😂

[@MsVixxen]

The 2 places are very different; Exeter is the upmarket county town in East Devon where all the Tourism is and 2nd home-owners live whilst Plymouth is a very large city stuck in the middle of nowhere. Whilst all the people in the rest of Devon are descended from native Britons (just like those from Cornwall, Wales & Cumbria) the people of East Devon and Torbay are mostly descended from Anglo-Saxons making them pure English, so even the populations are very different!

[@bugzystalone8915]

Fiercest rivals voted by people south of Somerset

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

The fiercest derby in England is undoubtedly Burnley Blackburn.

[@jakehaymes4438]

Invest a bit in captions.

[@harvisterc]

One thing both Exeter City and Plymouth Argyle fan can agree on is that we don't give a crap about Torquay United

[@thejanner]

Funny. 😂😂😂😂 Devon is green n white

[@user-ht6lf9rh6s]

Love the muppets in the corner giving it large,,,,, Mumba had the last laugh...... Good season for city, closest to the championship you have ever been 🤣🤣🤣

[@humptydumpty9177]

Rivalry my ass! To have a rival there needs to be an equality and comparisons so let's be honest, Exeter City isn't a rival in any way whatsoever to Argyle. Torquay United is a rival to Exeter, not Argyle. It's like comparing a fine port to a rough cider, it's just ridiculous!

[@regtheledge6253]

Mate if it’s ‘not a rivalry’ then Portsmouth vs Southampton ‘isn’t a rivalry’

[@billywhizz5021]

This is schoolboy stuff compared to the Bristol derby!.

[@arthercamelot1140]

Fall off the wall humpty dumpty

[@sergeruffles1380]

why is everyone argyle scum in the comments

[@ryanmee3546]

Because argyle are much bigger than *xeter 💚

[@jakehaymes4438]

Terrible. We didn't know which fans spoke.

[@IAmMorts]

What an awful stadium.

[@robinmcarthur3287]

Only one contender for the fiercest derby title........Fiddlers v Burnley!!
