The Grecians have lost on their last six visits to the Recreation Ground - their last victory coming in the old Fourth Division on Boxing Day 1989.
Tisdale will remind his players of that barren spell in a bid to fire them up for this evening's Blue Square Premier encounter.
"Breaking records is what we want to do," said Tisdale, whose side ended a 30-year wait for success at Cambridge United last season and won at Oxford United for the first time in 15 attempts in front of the live TV cameras.
