Exeter City play host to Accrington Stanley at St James Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Grecians have lost both.
The last time the two teams met at Exeter City was way back in the black-and-white days of November 1960, as the visitors ran out cosy 2-4 winners in a Fourth Division match.
