Torquay United Trophy game postponed

Torquay United’s FA Trophy fixture with Horsham on Saturday has been postponed due to safety concerns following the severe weather warning.

The club statement said: "With South Devon bracing itself for the arrival of Storm Darragh this weekend, and following consultation with both the Safety Advisory Group and Horsham FC, Saturday’s Isuzu FA Trophy tie at Plainmoor has been postponed.

"Although the hard work of our ground staff had given the pitch every chance of remaining playable, the prospect of winds of up to 80mph hitting the area has provided serious cause for concern, especially for those making the journey down from West Sussex.

"With the safety of both sets of players, supporters and officials remaining everyone’s number one priority, the decision has been made to postpone this game, with the match now taking place on Tuesday 10th December instead (7.45pm KO).

"Supporters are advised that all tickets purchased for Saturday’s fixture will remain valid for the rearranged date.

Any supporters who are unable to attend on Tuesday and require a refund as asked to email yellowarmy@torquayunited.com or phone 01803 328666 on Monday / Tuesday (9.30am-4.30pm)
