Exeter City return to EFL Sky Bet League Two action at the Park on Saturday, December 7 against Northampton Town in a 3pm kick-off.
The Grecians have made strong start to the 2019/20 league season, and are showing great form at the Park, only beaten in one of nine matches, winning five.
Your support has been crucial to City's strong start to the season and once again we need your vocal backing to drive City to another 3 points.
Ahead of the match, manager Matt Taylor was keen to focus on the Grecians strong home form, as they take on one of League Two's form sides. He said: "Our home form has been strong throughout the season and we’ve got to keep backing ourselves in these games."
Designated Rainbow Laces match
On Saturday we will be supporting this season's Rainbow Laces campaign at the end of a fortnight of nationwide action to promote inclusion and diversity in football.
The Football Association and Stonewall initiative encourages all football supporters and participants to make the game something for everyone to be a part of.
In association with Proud Grecians, Exeter City's LGBT+ and allies Supporter's Group, the club's One Game One Community Group, Exeter Pride and Isca Apollo, the Exeter LGBT+ friendly community football team, volunteers will take a giant rainbow flag onto the pitch and rainbow laces will be given out to some members of the crowd.

LAST TIME WE MET
Northampton Town 2 Exeter City 1 | March 9, 2019 | EFL Sky Bet League Two
Exeter City suffered back-to-back defeats as goals from Aaron Pierre and Andy Williams condemned them to a 2-1 defeat at Northampton Town.
The Grecians, who struggled to create chances in the first half, were much better after the break and pulled a goal back through Aaron Martin but couldn’t find an equaliser.

Family photo opportunity in the Dug Outs
Another extra service that has really taken off is photos of away and City families in the dugouts. If you would like to record your visit with this 'Kodak moment' please ask at the Tombola stall at 1:50pm.
Announce the Team and other Activities in Red Square Fan Zone
We will be asking a home supporter to announce the City side, and a Northampton supporter to announce the away side at 2:05pm. If you would like to do this head to the Information Point before 2pm. There will also be the Quiz, 'tell us a joke and make us laugh' and you can play four in a row.
You can also take part in the Exeter City tombola where the first prize is a signed Exeter City football. All funds raised go directly to the academy to support the future of the club. There is still one remaining opportunity to pull out number 25 (Jake Taylor!) and win a signed match ball.
To help boost the funds for the Academy you can also obtain a team sheet for a small donation at eth Tombola stall. The Academy donations through match day activities currently stand at £970. Please help the Ambassadors through the £1000 mark this Saturday.
East Devon Grecians will also be supplying a quiz sheet for a small donation to their funds. Every penny then earn is used to improve things at St James Park.
Join the Guard of Honour
Want to be on the pitch as the players enter SJP? Then be part of the flag waving, Guard of Honour! This Saturday lucky children will be chosen from the Thatchers Big Bank at 2:25pm.
After assembling, the Guard of Honour (and parents) move to the far side of ground to get some practice in waving their flags, which also presents an opportunity for Grecian and Letti to pose for photographs.
When the players finish their warm up the Guard of Honour go on their 'lap of honour' in front of the stands to the players’ tunnel. After they have been on the field and welcomed the teams and officials onto the pitch they receive their “gift” (a Christmas selection box) and certificates of participation.
If your son, daughter or grandchild has not been involved in the Guard of Honour, please email customerservices@exetercityfc.co.uk.
