Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Torquay
« on: February 03, 2008, 04:23:27 AM »So Torquay are through to the Trophy quarter-finals, which are being played on Feb 23rd.
I've mentioned this a couple of times before but I think this means that, if their q-f ends in a draw, our match with them on the 26th would have to be re-arranged yet again to make way for a replay.
It's pretty tough on our players and fans if we're only going to know whether we're definitely going to Torquay three days beforehand.
I think from the player's point of view you just prepare for it and if it's off, it's off. It will be played at some point so it's not worth worrying about.
However, from the supporter's point of view it could cause a fair bit of inconvenience but these things happen.
but surely its the same for a player who has a part-time job and has to book the day off to travel down to torquay on a tuesday night, as it is for a fan travelling down?
