It will be the case of the 'old' meeting the 'new' when Exeter City travel to Milton Keynes Dons on Saturday - an encounter that will see Grecians manager Matt Taylor face his predecessor Paul Tisdale.
As well as Tisdale, City will also be coming up against a number of other faces that are highly familiar with the Grecians faithful - including Jordan Moore-Taylor, Ryan Harley, Robbie Simpson and former loanee Lawson D'ath.
Off the field, City will also be crossing swords with former assistant manager Matt Oakley and goalkeeping coach Mel Gwinnett and Steve Perryman - who recently joined the Dons as a non-executive director.
These connections serve to add spice to a meeting between two sides that are currently unbeaten in League Two this season - the Grecians are currently top of the league whilst the Dons lie in fifth.
It also has the potential to illustrate the influence that Tisdale had over the Grecians following his 12 years in charge at St James Park - which is currently being continued thus far by Taylor - and the kind of impact he could have at Stadium:mk.
If ever there was a club that needed a change of image then it's the Dons; formed out of the demise of the 'old' Wimbledon in 2003 - the club have enjoyed a difficult existence since and are known in some circles as 'Franchise FC'.
This is reflected by the magazine When Saturday Comes, who include the Dons in their pre-season preview in which they quiz fans of each of the 92 clubs in the Premier League and the Football League alongside the caption ' no questions asked'.
During Tisdale's 12-year reign at St James Park, the Grecians gained a reputation of playing a passing game that was easy on the eye and for developing young players who they sold on for large transfer fees such as Matt Grimes, Ollie Watkins and Ethan Ampadu.
At Stadium:mk the potential exists for Tisdale to re-apply these principles to the Dons; during their short existence they have unearthed current Spurs and England midfielder Dele Alli and the possibility of producing other such talents - on a more frequent basis - remains strong.
If Tisdale succeeds then it could become harder for the wider footballing public to ignore the Dons and as Taylor's brief reign at St James Park has shown so far he can leave a strong legacy.
