Barters Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Torpoint played a number of games away from The Mill as during the close season salt water from the stream got on the pitch and caused chaos - though I thought we played at Horsham not Spickernell - teams were bused to the game from the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barters Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I was trying to protect the innocent Panda :0) I could be wrong but I thought both Edgecombe teams played at Millbay Park due to the issues with Spickernell changing facilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
