Over to Ann Strong, Group Sales Administrator at Vertu Volvo Exeter...
How long have you supported Exeter Chiefs?
Around nine or ten years
Why do you support Exeter Chiefs?
They are my local Premiership team
When was your first game?
Chiefs v Bath, around 2015
What is your most memorable moment?
Winning the double of Premiership and European Rugby Champions Cup back in 2020
What was your worst moment?
Watching the 2018 Premiership Final when we lost to Saracens
Who is your favourite player to have pulled on the shirt?
Jack Nowell
Who is the player, or which is the match, you wish you’d been able to see in person?
The Double win in 2020 as the pandemic meant it was played behind closed doors
What is the best thing about supporting Exeter Chiefs?
It really is a family club
Which rivalry do you enjoy the most?
Bath
If you could only ever win one more competition, what would it be and why?
I wish we could replay the Premiership Final mentioned above, as we’d ended the season eight points clear in the table, but lost the title in that one game
How proud do you feel to have professional links to the team via Vertu Motors?
Immensely proud! In fact, as I watched the Chiefs v Bristol Bears games, one of the opening shots on camera was the Vertu brand advertisement on top of the stand! And I thought� I’m part of that company!
