Supporters will get an early opportunity to meet Exeter Chiefs players and also take a look behind the scenes at Sandy Park.
I will be there to promote The Tribe and hope to set up in the grandstand or close to the pitch, just look out for the Warbonnet. Come and introduce yourself as it's always good to put a face to a Message Board name. You can also sign up to be a Writer or a Reporter for The Tribe.
There will be guided tours through the Chiefs’ changing rooms, physio room, ice bath room and gym, followed by a video and Q & A sessions with the players and the coaches.
The players will be on hand to sign autographs and will also man work stations on the main pitch to give children an insight into the life of a professional rugby player, including a chance to feel what it is like to be lifted in a lineout and to give the club’s scrum machine a little shove. An inflatable activity centre will be available for youngsters to enjoy and the team bus will also be on site for supporters to look around. The event will be free entry for all and there will food and refreshments on sale from food vans and the Undercroft Bar.
Season tickets and home Premiership game tickets will be on sale from the ticket office and the club shop will also be open.
There will also be stalls giving information on the Friends of Exeter Rugby Club and supporters’ coach travel will be present in the Exeter Suite, while youngsters will be able to sign up to the Junior Chiefs Supporters’ Club in the Undercroft Bar. Supporters’ parking for the open day will be available at Sowton 30/Apple Lane.
Great day , the players are in great spirit and looking forward to the start of the season. It was good to finally meet up with moorsman.
a funny moment for me was when my eledest lad was offered the chance for the line out lift the same as they had been doing with the little ones however at 19 stone 6 foot 2 they needed to draft additional support to lift him with budgy , ignacio ,dave gannon and addison locky launched him 6 foot into the air and him turning green when he realised how far his head was off the ground.
Great day out and thanks to all the players and staff for there time.
not sure who from staff and players read this board, but if they do, thankyou to all who came in on their day off and made it a great few hours, especially to Matt jess and Richie Baxter for the great tour behind the scenes.
Good to put a face to the name Moorsman, look forwards to speaking sooner now knowing that we have a common "friend"...small world eh..
Really enjoyable event and good to put a face to some names
Talked to a media guy who's company are doing the Premiership advertising for Aviva. He was really complimentary about Exeter Chiefs the and said how open, friendly and welcoming the Board, Players and Supporters are.
Thanks to those who passed over sponsorship money, need just a few more to sponsor an Academy player. Details on the Player Sponsorship 'sticky'.
BC really enjoyed a great day and it was fantastic meeting up with old (and not so old) friends again.
Thanks to RB and The Team for putting on a wonderful event.
Special thanks to Bentos and the line out team for putting me through the "lift" and holding me there for over a minute whilst everyone took pictures - a great show of strength and a very solid lift!
Looking forward to the new season - watch out for the Premiership version of the Tomahawk Chop!!!
