Mike Odgers Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Falmouth return to Bickland Park for the first time in 5 weeks with Torridgeside from the SWPL Prem.East as visitors for a WCP (SWP) League Cup tie. The Torrington based club from North Devon made the same journey two seasons ago in the same competition who were then a lower SWPL Div.1 East club-The result being 4-1 to Town (J.Annear-L.Brabyn-M.Jones 2) Today both clubs are at step 6 with Falmouth lying in 7th.(Prem.West) and Torridgeside 8th.(Prem.East). A pre match ceremony will be held in the clubhouse to invited crew and family from The Falmouth Lifeboat station and also a special invitation to family and players of the Falmouth Youth community football group will make it a special occasion. The day will be saddened by the untimely passing in midweek of F.Troop stalwart John Martin but his immediate family wish the show to go on so a two minute silence will be observed and for also Falmouth Life President Roger Fenner who recently passed away.

Jeff Chambers Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes a very special but emotional day at Bickland Park is expected tomorrow afternoon Mike. I have to be honest, I don't know much about Torredgeside, but there's no way we will underestimate any opposition. John Martin will be really missed by everyone in the F-Troop, match days will never be quite the same without him. He was a gentleman who's enthusiasm for the reformed FBB/F-Troop rubbed off on everyone around him. God bless you John. I am sure the 2 minutes silence for John and Roger with our scarves held aloft will be special and our thoughts and sympathy go with the families of both of these Falmouth Town legends. Tomorrow in the words of the great Sabu...…...."All roads lead to Bickland Park" Quiet Man, Mike Odgers and mattelot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Martin Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 With the 600+ at Truro today that's well over 1300 at 2 matches in the old Carrick district. Who says there isn't interest in attending local matches these days? Mike Odgers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the 250 strong F-Troop under and around the Packet End shed. I actually thought we had broken the 700 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
