Bolton Preview

The Grecians are back on the road this Saturday making the long trip north to face Bolton Wanderers at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

City will make the trip in high spirits after recording back-to-back wins at SJP. Saturday's emphatic win over Wycombe Wanderers in the Emirates FA Cup set up a mouth watering tie at Manchester City in the third round, and the win against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday closed the gap to teams above us in the table.

City's hosts sit fifth in League One and picked up a 1-0 win away at Mansfield Town on Tuesday night.

Last season City picked up a fantastic 2-0 win at Bolton thanks to Kamari Doyle's stunning free-kick and Milli Alli's strike!

To all the Grecians making the trip - we thank you for your support. Sing loud and sing proud on Saturday!

The club primarily encourages supporters and other visitors to utilise www.parkgood2go.com for match day payments. The portal allows users to register their number plate and payment details and once registered, the ANPR cameras will recognise the number plate as the vehicle enters into the stadium car park and payment will automatically be taken.

The vehicle will then be recognised every time it enters the car parks - so there's no need to register and pay every time or to visit a kiosk to make payment.

Previous Encounter

Bolton Wanderers 0 Exeter City 2 | 31/08/24 | EFL Sky Bet League Two

A man-of-the-match performance from Kamari Doyle on his first league start inspired City to a 2-0 victory away at Bolton Wanderers.

The Brighton loanee opened the scoring just after the half hour mark when he scored from a free-kick he won 30 yards out. Then, moments after the game restarted for the second half, Doyle's corner was flicked on by Josh Magennis to meet Millenic Alli at the back post, who tapped into an empty net for two.
