Exeter City are back on the road on Saturday, making the shortest trip of the season to the Memorial Stadium to face Bristol Rovers in a 3pm kick-off in EFL Sky Bet League One.
The Grecians will be looking to build on Tuesday night's point at home to Wigan Athletic, as Reece Cole's second-half strike earned a 1-1 draw which moved us up to 15th in the League Table.
City face a Bristol Rovers side that have had a difficult season and sit in 20th place, just one spot outside the relegation zone. Last time out the Gas were defeated 1-0 at play-off chasing Bolton Wanderers.
There are limited tickets remaining for Saturday's match that must be purchased in advance! It's looking like City will be backed by around 1600 travelling Grecians - thank you for your support!
