welcome

Good afternoon to you all and welcome to Sandy Park for today’s Gallagher Premiership encounter with Sale Sharks .

After last week’s bye week, it’s back to the cut and thrust of the action which, it has to be said, is rising by the week as we head towards the business end of the season and the inevitable scramble for honours on all front.

Right now, I think we can be pleased with how we are placed in every competition. Our victory a fortnight ago against today’s opposition means we will contest the Premiership Rugby Cup Final against London Irish, after which we can then focus our thoughts on the Heineken Champions Cup and the quest to reach the Premiership play-offs.

Equally, our women’s side are performing magnificently, taking over at the top of the Allianz Premier 15s last weekend, as well as reaching the last four in their defence of the Allianz Cup.

With so much to look forward to in the coming weeks, I do believe this is a great time to be a Chiefs supporter. Your backing for both our teams will be vital in our seasonal goals, as it will for us moving forward.

And it’s on that thinking, that we have looked at our Season Ticket offering for next season. Many of you have been part of a remarkable ride in recent years, but we’re not done there and our vision is to continue to cement ourselves amongst the elite of both the English and European game.

As everyone is aware, the current economic horizons are challenging for us all - and that supporting your team can be a labour of love, both emotionally and financially. It does, however, give us an outlet to escape from the trials we face in our daily lives.

Both as a club and a business, we are working tirelessly to ensure what we offer here is for every member of the Chiefs family. That is why our prices for next season reflect that, both from catergorising matches to expanding our offering in a more affordable and more accessible way.

I want to assure every support that our commitment to excellence and to our community remains as strong as ever. We will continue to strive for success and to provide an unforgettable experience for our fans.
