Exeter Chiefs Season Launch

The annual season launch of the Exeter Chiefs is taking place this weekend, on Saturday 9 August.

The fun filled event will run between 10am and 1pm and will be held in Bedford Square.

This is a chance for supporters to meet the players and coaching staff before the season kicks off in early September.

Due to a major redevelopment at Sandy Park this summer, the Chiefs won’t host a pre-season game, and their first home match isn’t until 13th September when they will welcome the Leicester Tigers.

This event allows the supporters to learn more about the clubs recent activity, and maybe most importantly to some, about their new signings including Namibian fullback Chrysander Botha who signed towards the end of last week from South African super rugby club the Lions.

The event will consist of a ‘meet and greet’ with players and coaches, and the coveted LV=Cup will also make an appearance. The mascot Big Chief will also be there for those who want a photo with him.

There will be a chance for the fans to pre-order their new cup kit and there’s an opportunity for the young fans to sign up to the Junior Chiefs Supporters Club and also one of many community camps.

The event is free for everyone.
