Plymouth Argyle to Fly for Norwich City Away Match

Plymouth Argyle is scheduled to fly to Norwich City for their Championship away fixture on Tuesday. This travel arrangement follows Argyle securing a point against Watford on Friday, thanks to Andre Gray’s late equaliser. This journey, a 700-mile round-trip, represents one of the longest away travels for Argyle this season, with only the trip to Sunderland being of greater distance. A flight from Exeter airport to Norwich typically takes approximately an hour, significantly less than the estimated eight or nine hours required for a coach journey. The team’s travel itinerary involves flying on Monday and returning on Wednesday, coinciding with the game’s kick-off at 19:45 GMT on Tuesday. Head coach Wayne Rooney elaborated on the decision after his side’s 2-2 draw with Watford on Friday, stating: “We had to be in the air by 11pm after the game, and there was no way we’d have done that, so we’re going to stay over and then fly back Wednesday morning.” He further added, regarding the mode of transport: “It’s good for us to be flying, but whether it was flying or by coach, we have to prepare right and make sure we do the best to try and get a result.”
