It may have been a case that the Truro game came along before the Torquay game. We committed to the Truro game and then suddenly the Torquay game became available but only for the date a day before the Truro game. So we then agreed to send a first team squad to Torquay and an Argyle IX at Truro.
In fact I'm sure the Truro game was the first pre-season game to be announced and it wasn't mentioned as an Argyle XI at that time.
In terms of negotiating I would have expected both Torquay and Truro to be willing to swap the date around to play Argyle's first team; certainly at Truro it's the difference between getting a decent attendance of Cornish Greens or not.
It's a shame because I know a few people who would go if it was the first team but last year by development team it really was just our youth team, I don't even think the likes of Harvey played.
