Exeter Chiefs offer to fund Cov trip
By Alan Poole, Coventry Telegraph
December 8 2009
EXETER Chiefs have offered to foot Coventry’s transport bill to help ensure that Saturday’s Championship fixture goes ahead. Tony Rowe, chief executive of the Devon club, confirmed: “We’ve said we will pay their travelling costs if that will help get them down here.
We just want the game to be played and that’s the least we can do to help Coventry.”

Thats a wonderful gesture by Exeter.
Lets just hope they pay for it, not give the cash to someone at the club. God knows where it will end up??!!

Yes its a nice gesture Nige, but the last thing Ex wants is to lose a 9,000 gate, so i can understand why they have done it, never the less it is a great help at this very difficult time

Whatever their motivation I applaud it.
Rugby people are different class, soccer clubs would never help a rival in this way.
Well done and thankyou Exeter....an nice city with a good rugby club.

WAY TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD EXETER!
Let's not question the motive!
It's the right thing to do... Rugby community pulling together to help each other out - that's the spirit!!!

I think you will find a way out of this problem, if chiefs can make it easier we will.
You have a great history long may it continue, hope some of you guys are popping down for a visit on sat.
All the best to you all.
