Bristol City V Forest Green Rovers and Exeter City: How to watch, new signings, head-to-head and more

Bristol City return to pre-season friendly action tomorrow with a double header against Forest Green Rovers and Exeter City.

The Robins have been busy over recent weeks preparing for the start of the 2022/23 Championship season which starts away at Hull City on 30th July.

They have already played Cheltenham Town, Portsmouth and Plymouth Argyle in friendlies and haven’t conceded a goal yet.

Nigel Pearson’s side are scheduled to take on two more League One clubs tomorrow in the sweltering heat:

How to watch

Bristol City play Forest Green at 2pm and then Exeter at 4pm and both games will be played at the Robins High Performance Centre.

As per the club’s official website, both clashes will be streamed for free to season-ticket holders on Robins TV.

Those who are not season ticket holders can watch for £4.99.

New signings

Bristol City fans will be able to see new signings Kane Wilson, Mark Sykes, Kal Naismith and Stefan Bajic in action once again.

Exeter City haven’t been busy in the transfer window yet since their promotion from League Two last term and haven’t signed anyone yet. Matt Taylor’s side have a few players to keep an eye on though such as Josh Key, Archie Collins and Matt Jay.

Forest Green Rovers, who were promoted alongside Grecians, have added David Davis, Kyle McAllister, Reece Brown, Armani Little, Corey O’Keefe, Oliver Casey and Harry Boyes into their ranks under new boss Ian Burchnall.

Head to head

The Robins have played Exeter 53 times so far competitively in the past. They have beaten them 26 times, drawn 16 and the Grecians have won 11.

Bristol City have only ever played Forest Green once and that ended in a draw.

What next for Bristol City

After tomorrow, Pearson’s side have one more friendly to get through before the new campaign kicks off.

They have a trip to Bournemouth to take on the newly promoted Premier League club in one final test before competitive football returns.
