From a crowd-pulling point of view the Chiefs are winning hands down with crowds of 9,500 and 7,500 respectively. The crowds against the likes of Leicester, Bath, Saracens, Northampton and Wasps are likely to be sell-outs. Mainly due to a sense of witnessing something new, people are travelling in from all over the South-West and around Exeter on a day where both rugby and football teams are playing home games, the city's bar and restaurants are thanking their lucky stars (just wait until Leicester are in town).
The Chiefs have made an excellent start and for those who haven't been following, the team is currently third in the Aviva Premiershiip and the idea that it will a force to be reckoned with in the coming years is gaining more popularity within the ranks of rugby commentators.
Bearing this in mind, is Exeter destined to become a new Northampton where football will become secondary to rugby or does Exeter City FC have the potential to rival the Chiefs?
