Visit a proper nightclubNonsense, what can’t you do in the south west as a 20 something bloke that you can do elsewhere?

Or you can live in Birmingham and not have to travel 3hrs to do stuffIt is nonsense, I grew up just outside Exeter and moved away to University at 18. I’m well aware of how desirable it is. Many people my age (mid 30’s) would love to live and work in the SW (in my case there is no work in my field in the region).
There seems to be a weird provincial ‘woe is me’ feeling among folk from Devon that it is miles from anything and impossible to get to.
The reality is that in 3 hrs you can be in London, Birmingham or in my case home in Northampton.
You don't have to travel 3hrs but if you fancied doing those things on a regular basis then it becomes a bit of a choreYou need to look harder if you think you need to travel 3hrs from Exeter to do stuff.
Aren't we supposed to be considered a good place for younger players to develop.It's simple really, Devon is hard to get to and from. There's two professional clubs within 50 miles of Exeter.
Good rugby players are happy to sign for Exeter because they're the best team in the country. City, sadly aren't.
Exeter uni, similar to St Andrews I'd guess is popular because it's considered an excellent uni.
Come and live in Exeter home of cheap house pricesWhere are league 2 players living in and around London ??
50 square foot bedsits ???
Hardly the stuff of dreams, I'd rather sacrifice the odd concert for a nicer place to live !!

The problem is, if offered a one year deal with us, they have to uproot potential family, for 1 years work and then may need to move again, in other areas players may not need to move, thus letting their partners careers continue.Where are league 2 players living in and around London ??
