Martin Redfern
Exeter Chiefs rugby club has applied to Exeter City Council to vary its Sandy Park stadium license to enable it to become a music venue as well as host to boxing, wrestling, theatre and films.
The application will be determined at a council licensing committee meeting on Monday 30 January.
Exeter Observer is produced by a non-profit newsroom with two part-time staff: Leigh Curtis and Martin Redfern.
Since we launched from our kitchen table in April 2019 we have published more than 1,000 news stories, features, investigations, community and culture previews, galleries, newsletters and special reports.
We work half of the week as volunteers and keep overheads low, serving 1.5 million page views a year to 50,000 regular readers on a tiny budget.
If you think what we do is good for our city please upgrade to a paid Exeter Observer subscription from less than £2/week.
144 of the 300 paying subscribers we need to break even have signed up to support the independent journalism our city needs.
We can get there with your support. We hope you'll join us today.
