   I went to this match at the new Brentford stadium last Saturday ( Ealing Trailfinders postponed ) There was parking on a building site very close to the ground £20. There were four of us , all Ealing Trailfinders supporters. Surprisingly we spotted several groups of Ealing supporters and we commented that were more supporters there than many home games.
I very rarely go to Premiership games , maybe one or two per season but this match was incredibly entertaining and the atmosphere was extremely good. The crowd was over 11, 000 and a huge Exeter Chiefs crowd were very vocal and added to the London Irish supporters. It was obvious that whole families turned up making a real day of it.

My friends purchased the tickets and my ticket was £15, I purchased two spicy chicken pies £ 9 ! yes both for me ! no chips. No complaints on any of the pricing 

The final score was  London Irish 18  To  14 EXETER CHIEFS. It was typical Chiefs style with two quick tries , 14 nil down all scored by bashing through the forwards . The Irish came back with open running rugby and by half time led 18 to 14 . Matt Cornish ( ex Ealing Trailfinders Academy and first team hooker ) scored one of the tries .The second half with no scoring was still enthralling in that Exeter Chiefs could not break the Irish robust defence.

I really enjoyed the visit to the new stadium
