Rugby World Cup Match Info

The eyes of the world will fall upon Exeter again this Sunday as Sandy Park prepares to host their third and final Rugby World Cup fixture right here in Devon.

Never before has the city, county or region hosted a bigger global sporting event - so it really is our ultimate chance to put ourselves on the global map.

As we prepare to welcome our guests from Italy and Romania for our latest game, which kicks-off at 2:30pm, please note there will be a number of minor alterations to our normal award-winning match-day experience.

As regulars to Sandy Park for game days, Rugby World Cup operational guidelines - both for the interior and exterior of the stadium - mean there will be certain changes for our three scheduled games.

Therefore, ahead of the big kick-off, as a club we wish to run you through the changes in a bid to ensure your 'World In Union' experience is one to remember for a lifetime.

OPENING HOURS

Sandy Park will open as always three hours before kick-off

CAR PARKING

Please note there is no on-site parking and that ALL match-day traffic will be directed to the nearby Westpoint Arena. Parking can be booked in advance up until 12 noon at a discounted rate of £7 by clicking here or purchasing on the day of the game will cost £10. As this game is on Sunday, the usual limited match-day parking at Apple Lane and Digby will also be available to those travelling by car.

BARS

The Exeter Suite will be open to the public, as well as all the outside stadium bars. However, those not accessible will be the Members Bar (County), Estuary Suite or Chiefs Suite.

Spectators should also note that due to RWC restrictions, there will be a limited choice in terms of beers, lagers, stouts and spirits on sale. Your Season Ticket discount card WILL NOT be in operation for all three Rugby World Cup games.

Remember there are numerous food outlets located around the stadium, serving Burgers, Hot Dogs, Pasties, Pies, Hog Roast and Curry.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Normal match-day bus and train services will be operation on the day of the games, but please allow extra travelling time as demand is sure to be high during busy periods.

POST-MATCH ENTERTAINMENT

Following the final whistle, don't rush off and get caught in the traffic scrum, instead stay with us and watch the France versus Ireland and USA versus Japan games. Musical entertainment is also on offer with Eventine and Eat The Rich both belting out the songs in the Exeter Suite, as well as Danny's Disco in the Wigwam Bar

POST-MATCH PICK-UP

As with normal match day procedures, there is no vehicular access to Sandy Park (apart from approved buses) until ONE HOUR after the final whistle.
