Tuesday evening all the way at Plymouth, anyone from this area that goes should be given free admission to the next home game.

Come on-if they have travelled all that distance don't subject them to that.

Serious question.,.... how do Town travel to these games?  Do they stay over in a hotel after the games?  It is 6 hours at least.....I really think being a footballer actually sounds like a crap job when you think about some of the travelling after the games....

I often wonder about this when I see fixtures like Carlise v Exeter.....

Meet up with your team mates at 8am (alot of people arrive at work at 6am) stop for lunch somewhere, arrive at a nice hotel around 4-5pm and have pre match food. Head to a stadium, play some football and head back to the lovely hotel for a good night sleep. Travel home the next morning and arrive mid afternoon and go spend time with the family before reporting back to training 9am the next morning..
Must be really tough ;)

Well, that's the premiership teams schedule, now please let us know what the clubs running on a shoestring in the lower divisions do on their long distance away games. ;)

Town travel to long distance matches the night before on a luxury bus. Have some training to get ready for the game, play the match then travel home on the luxury coach, listening to music or playing cards whilst having pizza that had been delivered to the coach at the end of the game.

On same day games same as above without the overnight stay.

As someone mentioned a tough life.
