Will he actually turn up?

He doesn't have to just to see the gate receipts ;-)

It is the reason Osbourne did not make money available for players - he brought and installed an Automated Turnstile Counting System to provide 'real time' gate receipt readings to his mobile phone. Does show he has an interest in Torquay Utd supporters - but only how many !

Such a big game for the club, one of the biggest in our history. My Dad is even flying out from Mexico for the game!

Hi all,

Can i ask, planning to bring my 3 and a half year old to his first game on Saturday...if, in the family stand during the match, is it possible to:

a) walk freely from the seats to the bar/lounge area at the top of the stairs? i don't think he'd sit through a whole half of football at the moment!
b) less hopeful on this one...is it possible to come and go from the stadium during the game!? i'm gunna try and get him through the first half at least but then his grandad may have to leave with him if he's playing up and leave me on my own!!

Yes you would be able to get out the side gate adjacent to the food bar, it will be manned by a steward so just ask him to open it and let you out. Don't know about the first question.

For this last, and most important, game of the season, I'm expecting a huge crowd and a score-line which changes our goal difference from a negative to a positive figure. And our opponents are the ideal team against whom this can be achieved..

Somewhere (at the moment in the far distance) is the sound of chickens being counted.

Tend to agree with you Wivel.

TUFC v NF

I have 3 eggs = 3 chickens = 3 points ( or possibly 1)
Life is like TUFC. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. :goal:

I agree with Wivel

Don't think this will be as easy a game as most seem to be expecting.

NF will be very conscious that Southport are only 1 point behind with slightly better goal difference, so a Southport draw and an NF loss would leave them bottom. A fate I am sure they will want to avoid - bad enough going down without being bottom.

Time to rack up our highest score of the season. C'mon! Surely North Ferriby and their travelling hordes aren't going to turn us over again!


....but this is Torquay United... anything can happen.... and no doubt will..... United 7 North Ferriby 6 with United's winner coming in the 98th minute as Moore scrambles it in at the far post after it ricochets off the NF keepers’ arse.


COYY!

Let's us not forget that we have already contrived to lose north ferriby this season, and we have also lost to the bottom team Southport at home as well.
