A message particularly for regular travellers to away matches, especially with the Fleet Trust.

 

I have received the following reply dated late on Monday night 10th December, to an email sent to Roly Edwards about the reasons for this fixture change.

 

"Exeter contacted the club today requesting that the kick off be changed. The reasons given were that Exeter felt that on this particular Saturday the crowd would be low due to Christmas shopping and the fact that they have had several home Saturday matches in close succession. They felt that under the circumstances that a Friday evening match would be more advantageous to both clubs. As always in these situations the Team Management were consulted and ultimately it is felt that what is best for the team goes.

 

Following due consideration it was felt that the Friday night was indeed beneficial to the team particularly with the Christmas programme following shortly after. This would enable the team to have additional time to recover prior to the following game and the heavy Christmas schedule.

 

I stress that this decision was based on team matters, no other factors were considered.

 

We apologise for any inconvenience to our fans but as at any other club the team must have first call in these situations."

 

In my email to Mr Edwards I made it known that his reply would be shared with our travelling Trust members.
