Was due to fly down to Exeter via Manchester from Aberdeen with Flybe.... will get money back eventually but I’m more sad for the staff and local airports it’ll kill. Not sure how I’ll get down now... looking into maybe driving. Any ideas would be helpful!
Obviously I don't know when you want to travel but Loganair are taking on some Flybe routes -including to Exeter- from the jock airports later on in the year.

it’s for the next week. Pain up the backside. Aberdeen flies to nowhere and all flights are no inflated up here because of business travellers. Assume it’s a similar problem for Exeter airport.

Train is possible but a bleddy long journey and horrendous prices.

Oh for happy days when you just stuck your thumb out and hitched a ride. I did that so much at one time it was like being a character in a Jack Kerouac novel.

Surely the train was going too fast for the driver to see you?

There's a story on social media that the Chiefs turned away two sets of Flybe staff who'd won tickets in a works draw. I can't believe they'd be that callous.

I think he did it through his own label, Skint.
He did as Brighton had Skint printed on there shirts for at least one season.

I would imagine someone at the Chiefs marketing department will be joining the unfortunate folk at Flybe in looking for a new job if the story is true.

Can't see Tony Rowe making himself redundant if the order came from "the top" !

In a meeting somewhere, some place...
In terms of financials, 10 years ago the shirt sponsorship was £100k

I have no idea what it is now though..
