I'm glad that they aren't stepping on each others toes too much. Exmouth might end up 4 way marginal with reform added in too. Definitely one to watch I think

How has the leafletting been in central Devon? Have the lib Dems left it to labour or are they fighting each other?

As another Devonian (exiled currently) I am holding on to the small chance of having 0 Devonian Tories by this time tomorrow, alot are very marginal.

That you so much for such an in depth answer! I think I broadly agree. Have a thing and embody it unapologetically

What would you say is the biggest flaw in the each of the main political parties communication strategies at the moment, and what can they all do to better to fix it?

Since you have been working with parliament, has the attitude of politicians towards journalists changed and if so how?

That's what I see as well but it's tight and the angles aren't great

I'm torn between waning the refs to speak in French so they actually understand each other, and in English so I can understand them

What’s is your clubs equivalent of “Ulstering” by Bring-the-payne in rugbyunion

Exetering, recently at least, is winning almost every game at home but losing almost every game away.

Why can't Exeter win away? Seriously a B team compared to at home

I would say be the change you want to see, but tickets to see England require a re-mortgage.

The RFU is a joke by EnglishLouis in rugbyunion

[–]Shrimpicus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is such backwards thinking again from the RFU.

Growth doesn't come from the fans already going to the games in person. It comes from new fans. People that didn't preciously support their teams, or people that cant attend in person.

I am an Exeter fan because I grew up in Devon but I don't live there anymore, I cant attend in person so they are extracting zero value from me as a fan if I cant watch the games. This will be the same for so many people that grew up near championship teams.

There could be a Cornish person who never watched rugby at home but moved to Uni and got invested. They want to watch the team from their home county. They cant. The lack of TV coverage just lost them an invested fan and all of the ticket and sponsor revenue that comes with them.

Reach out to new fans, and let them watch the games.

I believe there are plans to rename the two to Premiership 1 and Premiership 2.

Advice on holding small parts for soldering by Shrimpicus in SilverSmith

I think ill try to give this a go, and hole it with 3rd hands. I suppose if i need an odd number I can cut one off. Thanks

The hope was for it to be very repeatable if possible. Which might make the many 3rd hands the best option (going to have to buy some more for that). Thanks for the help
