Exeter City's second pre-season friendly of the summer schedule kicks off on Tuesday, with Matt Taylor's men making the trip to Weston-super-Mare.
The trip to the Optima Stadium will be a repeat of our first friendly last summer, when the Seagulls ran out 2-1 winners. This fixture is the second of the Grecians' scheduled pre-season matches, with City kicking things off away at Tiverton on Friday.
Speaking on Friday night, Matt Taylor said he expects two separate XIs to play one half each against Weston-super-Mare.
The Venue
Address: Optima Stadium, Winterstoke Rd, Weston-super-Mare BS24 9AA
The Optima Stadium is a 3,500 capacity stadium with 470 seats available and was opened in 2004.
To find the stadium leave the M5 at Junction 21 and take the A370 towards Weston town centre. Continue across three roundabouts and at the 4th (where there is a McDonalds) turn left into Winterstoke Road. Go straight across the mini roundabout, over a railway bridge and you will see the ground on your right hand side. There is a fair sized car park at the stadium.
