Last home game now Friday night instead of Saturday http://www.torquayunited.com/page/News/ ... 45,00.html

I could launch into a massive whinge about how it's not fair on us exiles, maybe I'll do that on the appropriate thread, but moved due to Police advice so nothing the Club can do anyway probably. Can't imagine many Chesterfield lot travelling on a Friday though...

All depends on how the title race looks, but judged by their current form it might be all over by then!

Could prove a very big game. They could be going for automatic promotion/champions and who knows where we'll be come April.

This is a public holiday so there could be a few fans down, down for the weekend possibly!

That is correct, according to a truely beautiful Royal Wedding flag I have seen, the 29th April is the day of the Royal Wedding !!!!!

Perhaps the happy couple have decided to go to Paignton for their honeymoon ? If that is the case they will need some evening entertainment!

I thought it was impressive enough having Jim Rosenthal in the directors box on Saturday....imagine having Prince William in the stands!

Conasidering it's been moved as Exeter play Plymouth on the saturday, surely it would have made sense to switch that game as both teams are local and it's a public holiday?
For those from Chesterfiled wishing to come down for the game against us they could have travelled on the saturday or come down at their leisure on the friday.

Exeter v Plymouth as an evening game, on a Bank Holiday? Couldn't see that causing any problems for the law enforcement community...
