There was no ‘Fat Lady Singing’ this time, instead it was the travelling tribe who were in full voice at the final whistle as Exeter Chiefs overcame rivals Saracens to claim a first-ever victory at Allianz Park.
Two tries from the free-scoring Thomas Waldrom (pictured), plus another from hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie, were the undoubted highlights for the visitors, whose hard fought win has edged them back into the final play-off berth with just one round of the scheduled season remaining.
Fly-half Gareth Steenson converted all three scores, as well as adding a first half...
Exeter City FC has been voted to land on ‘Old Kent Road’ on a new official MONOPOLY board for Devon’s capital city. The public has been polling for landmarks to fill the board, however it has been widely reported - including in the UK media and on national TV - that Exeter could perhaps be TOO POSH to have its own Old Kent Road equivalent. And since these recent reports the public has nominated the Grecians to land on the infamous MONOPOLY location, which sits at the foot of the board. One of these suggestions has been left on a forum in Exeter’s rival city, Plymouth. But some, confirm the...

The Respect ethos is a simple one: racism and prejudice often spring from fear, and fear is often based on ignorance, so let's overcome ignorance by getting to know one another and sharing not shunning our cultures. One of the best ways to get to know someone is to enjoy yourself with them, hence our celebratory event and adoption of the old Commission for Racial Equality slogan: All Different, All Equal...
