Exeter City make their first trip to Bloomfield Road since 2016 on Saturday to take on Blackpool in a 3pm kick-off.
The Grecians will be looking to build on the recent turn of form as they head to take on a Blackpool side that sits ninth place in EFL Sky Bet League One.
It will be another tough test for City, who face a Blackpool side who are the form team in the League at home.
City will be backed by another fantastic turnout on the road with around 400 expected to make the long trip! Thank you for your support!
Gary Caldwell's Thoughts
