Exeter City continue their pre-season preparations at the Robins High Performance Centre on Saturday, when they take on Bristol City behind-closed-doors at 1pm.
The Grecians have had a positive pre-season campaign so far, remaining unbeaten – most recently beating another Championship side in Oxford United 1-0 on Wednesday thanks to Josh Magennis’ goal.
Saturday’s game will be by far the toughest test of the summer, facing an established second-tier side hwo have proved difficult opponents in previous encounters.
Bristol City also play League Two side Cheltenham Town away from home on Friday evening, so supporters can expect an mixed side to face the Grecians on Saturday.
Similarly, expect a mixture of first team and youngsters appearing for the Grecians, which has been consistent throughout the pre-season fixtures so far.
As the game is behind-closed-doors, supporters will not be able to attend the game, however Bristol City are streaming this fixture via Robins TV for a cost of just £5.

I’m sure you’ve ticked off that list of summer jobs, ready to get back to your Saturday routines. And you’ll need to include Sundays now as well, with the women’s team playing their first four matches of the season at St James Park!
Our first men’s match will see us welcoming Steve Evans’ established United to SJP on August 10 we then head away to Walsall and Northampton Town and then it’s back to the Park for Peterborough United on August 24, so we’re right back at it!
There will be some fresh faces lining up this season, as the new signings take their place in the squad. It was also great to welcome back an old face – well not that old – with the return of Dan Green to the club to take up the position of Individual Player Development Phase (PDP) Coach, responsible for development of first team players and young professionals. Dan can certainly attest to the huge amount of changes at the club, particularly the training ground, which looked, erm, a little bit different when he was last here!
