Rugby returns to Sandy Park this Saturday as Exeter Chiefs prepare to face local rivals Bristol Rugby in Round 19 of this season's Aviva Premiership (3pm).

With the Chiefs looking to cement their place in the end of season play-offs, excitement is mounting ahead of what will be a full-blooded encounter between these Westcountry counterparts.

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

Limited tickets for Saturday’s game are still available online - so if you have not purchased yet, you are advised to do so quickly in a bid to avoid disappointment.

Match-day parking is available at the nearby Grenadier Road 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 the club have been informed that Bridge Road is closed from Friday night until Monday morning because of roadworks, so supporters who use the normal Match-Day 77 Bus service from Dartline should allow additional travel time. Dartline have told the club they are endeavouring to put on higher capacity buses to help alleviate any problems.

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 ‘Stillyano’ and ‘Big Foot’ will be playing, whilst the ever-popular Danny’s Disco will be belting out the tracks in the Wigwam Bar.

Also, the famous Grand National race will be shown live on all screens around the stadium.
