Not as such Dave have just caught the odd 10 minutes at half time when I have been watching a Peninsula Premier game and the reserves have been playing on the next pitch. The reserve games normally start about half hour before the 1st team so there is some action to watch when the 1st team go for their cup of tea and oranges. I noticed on another thread you were thinking of going to Kingsteignton Ath v Ivybridge Reserves next week.
Both football and rugby clubs are good clubs in Ivybridge with decent facilities and floodlights, and I enjoy going to both. In the summer even though it is not my game I often wander down to watch Ivybridge Cricket Club. All 3 grounds are in different parts of the town and all 3 are in really lovely scenery.
It's not unusual to get 600 to 800 + at the rugby and although fewer at the football both are doing well on the pitch this season. The football team won 4-1 away at 2nd in the table Bodmin Town on Saturday to move 12 points clear at the top of the SWPL table, and the rugby team have just been knocked off top spot after losing at Avonmouth at the weekend.
As you said on the other thread, it is very enjoyable taking in some local sport and it does not cause the same heartache that TUFC seem to be able to inflict on their supporters!
