Exeter City FC

Exeter City make the trip to Colchester United this Saturday in 3pm kick-off in Sky Bet League Two.

The Grecians will be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a late equaliser at home to Northampton Town last time out.

Ahead of the trip to the JobServe Community Stadium, manager Matt Taylor said: “They’re (Colchester) a good team, a very bright team at home. They have some good footballers, they play a good attacking brand of football and make some real passes so it’s going to be a test.

“I spoke to the lads this morning and asked them who remembered the match there last season where we were 3-0 down after the first 40 minutes and out of the game so we’ve got to be right on our metal from minute one, but we’ve got some good players coming back into the fold now.

“We showed glimpses last weekend of the attacking threat we’ve got in the team and we need to show that on Saturday, but also we have to be resolute."

WHEN WE LAST MET

The side last met back in May last season ahead of City’s play-off campaign, and the Grecians took all three points in that match when Robbie Simpson netted the only goal of the game.

The train journey from Exeter St Davids to Colchester station is problematic on Saturday, November 24, with it requiring three changes and part of the journey to be completed by bus. However, if you get the 7:56am train from Exeter you will arrive in Colchester at 13.04. However, you will then have a lengthy 1.8-mile walk to the ground from Colchester train station

PUBS/FOOD

There is a bar located inside the stand where you can buy drinks and take them outside the ground too. They serve drinks such as lager, bitter, wine, plus whisky and brandy (all at £3.80).

The closest pub to the ground is the Dog and Pheasant on Nayland Road and the ground is on the very outskirts of Colchester. However, this is still three-quarters of a mile away. They serve a range of drinks as well as hot meals.
