Exeter City are just one match away from a trip to Wembley Stadium as they travel to face Portsmouth at Fratton Park in Leasing.com Trophy semi-final action on Tuesday, February 18.
Ahead of the match, Exeter City's Matt Jay said the Grecians will take confidence from the fact that they have already beaten two Sky Bet League One sides out of the competition already and motivation from being one game away from a final at Wembley.
“Getting to Wembley is not something you think about when you start of this competition, but now we have got through the rounds and we have done quite well, it is definitely something that is going to motivate us, because we are only one game away," said Matt. “We have beaten some good sides along the way, some teams from higher divisions and some teams who have been doing well in their league and also the young Premier League sides. So, we will go into tomorrow’s game with a lot of confidence that we can cause a bit of an upset.”

STADIUM: FRATTON PARK (PO4 8SX)
Portsmouth have played at Fratton Park since they were formed in 1898, and it remains one of the most characterful stadiums in the country.
The main stand was designed by well known football architect Archibald Leitchm and was described as an "Ornate Pavillion complete with Clocktower" which is similar to Fulham's Craven Cottage.
The Fratton End was opened in 1997 and is the most modern of the stands in the stadium, as well as the tallest. The seats have the outline of Jimmy Dickinson, the player with most appearances for the club. The North and South Stands are both two tiered, while the Milton End, which will host our fans next week, was once the only roofless stand in the Premier League.
GRECIAN TRAVEL
- The coach will depart from Unit 1 nightclub at 2:15pm for a fare of £25.
Other pick-up points include: Honiton Road park and ride (by Miller and Carter Steakhouse), junction 28 (Cullompton services). Junction 27 (Tiverton), junction 25 (Taunton.) All other pick-ups by prior arrangement.
