It''s an awful long way from home, although for my first visit to Plymouth I was living in the Midlands, so my dad did it in two halves. It was still 3 and half hours away, so the last thing you want is to be a goal down before you even take your seat. 2 down bwefo0re half time and Marcus Stewart I recall pulled one back, but not much to write home about, as we were pretty poor. However, all was well that ended well as we got promoted at the end of this season.
