Bob Staddon says it’s a “huge honour” to have been asked to become the new president of Exeter Rugby Club.

Work has been continuing apace throughout the summer forcing the team to play all of their friendlies away from home.
But as our pictures show, everything is now falling into place.
The main part of the works have seen the West Grandstand undergo a £7.5 million transformation, doubling its capacity for usage on both match-days and events throughout the course of the week.
