Gloucester Match-Day Plans

Rugby returns to Sandy Park this weekend as Exeter Chiefs prepare to kick-off the 2015/16 season with the inaugural fixture in the newly-created Westcountry Challenge Cup.

Aviva Premiership rivals Gloucester provide the opposition for the game, which kicks-off at the slightly later time of 4:30pm.

Before the on-field action starts, however, you can watch England – featuring our very own Geoff Parling – tackle Ireland in their final warm-up game ahead of the upcoming Rugby World Cup on the TV screens around the stadium.

England’s encounter at Twickenham kicks-off at 2:30pm, but those visiting Sandy Park can enter the stadium from 1:30pm.

As always all the match-day bars and food outlets will be open, both before and after the game, whilst the Trading Post and the new shop located by the North Turnstiles will also be open selling all your official Chiefs’ merchandise.

New for this season is our match-day loyalty card, which allows supporters to obtain a FREE pint, once they have purchased a drink/food item from the nominated outlets – plus supporters will be able to donate an additional £1 to the club’s official charity, the Exeter Foundation, by adding ‘A Pound to their Round’.

Tickets for tomorrow’s game are still available online until three hours before kick-off, after which the ticket office will be open from 1:30pm.

Match-day parking is available at the nearby Westpoint Arena at a cost of £7 per vehicle, if booked in advance, or £10 on match-day itself. Parking can be booked via the ticketing section of the official Chiefs website.

Normal match-day train and bus services are in operation, but supporters are advised to check timetables in advance should there be any disruption.

Following the final whistle, supporters can continue their match-day experience by staying on late for the two bands on offer in the Exeter Suite. This weekend ‘Wired’ and ‘Lush’ will be playing, whilst the ever-popular Danny’s Disco will be belting out the tracks in the Wigwam Bar.
