Bank Holiday Monday Football

So a lot of people are off work, why don't we have a game?

I remember the match against Forest in 2004 quite vividly, big crowd, fantastic atmosphere, 5 goals....I'm not saying a tie against Stevenage would be exactly the same, per se, but it's gotta be better than a Tuesday night...

Computer says no.

England games this week I guess. Plus the media darlings don't want to cover just league 1 and 2 games on a bank holiday.

There was a full programme in the Conference yesterday. Surely it would have been the perfect opportunity to get some bigger than usual attendances in the JPT?

That's a very good point, Chris. Stick on some games that tend to be forgotten about. If the game had been yesterday afternoon, I would still have lounged about on the sofa with a hangover, but I would have at least given attending the game a passing thought!

I spent much of yesterday in bed, after trooping around the Dartmoor based pubs - started at The Lopes Arms (Roborough) moving on to The Devon Tors Inn and The Rock Inn (Yelverton), then over to The Royal Oak (Meavy), popped into The Skylark Inn (Clearbrook) and finally back to The Lopes Arms.

Great Sunday afternoon/early evening stroll and stopping for a pint or two at each pub. And the weather was good too.

Two games in three days no longer acceptable to modern players and fans it seems

We just camped out at the Skylark. Beer was decent, if a bit big brand. Victor was Victor - nice as pie one second, miserable bugger the next. Quote of the day came from my mate Sue, when discussing the joys of getting home from the moor to the Bere peninsula: "If we're trying to ride Dartmoor ponies home at the end of the night, we've done something right!"
