Following the recent cold snap, Torquay United will now face a fixture back log in the new year.
The Gulls are still looking for a new date to play their League Two encounter with Burton Albion, which was originally due to take place on December 5th before being postponed because of a frozen pitch.
They are also still waiting for details of the re-arrangement of their St Lukes Westinsurance Devon Bowl match against Tavistock Town of the Peninsula League.
Plus should they prevail against Carlisle United in the FA Cup Third round on January 8th, tthen United's League Two clash with Gillingham will need a new date as the Fourth round matches will take place on January 22nd, which is the day they are due to face the Gills.
It could be argued that an increase in fixtures could be described as the price of success, but it's something that many of United's Conference campaigners including the likes of Lee Mansell, Kevin Nicholson, Danny Stevens, Chris Zebroski and Elliot Benyon will have been accustomed to during the Gulls two-year exile in the Blue Square Premier.
In fact Nicholson played in everyone of United's 58 games in the 2007-08 season, which were made in the Blue Square Premier, FA Trophy, FA Cup and the Setanta Shield and not to mention two Play-Off Semi Finals against Exeter City. Then, in the following summer, he captained the England C side in a summer tour of the Carribean.
