Quote ="Captain Library"I'm criminally back in Exeter as of last Sunday, and, though knowing it would be futile, I've asked around to see if any pub would be showing the match on Sky tonight... one response summed it up when I asked if there were any pubs or bars that would show "better sports" (disguised with the intonation of a joke but in fact a very serious assertion) and the response was, "Not loikely mate, this is the south of England."
I'm very sad that I won't be able to watch our historic play-off match

Best way to counter this (speaking as someone who lives in Kent) is to get a few mates down for a weekend - the more the better, walk into said pub on a Friday night as a big gang, sort out (loudly, so as to get the landlord's attention) who's drinking what, look at the telly, say: "hang on, the rugby's not on", then walk out.
Eight of us. Worked a charm at my local...
