Torquay United Fans Forum

Hi Matt

Danny seems to have addressed you questions pretty well. The only real issue is when you get to the ground. Plainmoor is within a residential area so if you travel by car its a wee bit difficult getting parked (In the right places) There is a car park, by the ground, but it belongs to the local (Small) swimming pool. You can park in there but you do have to pay (Not that expensive though) However it does get full. Most locals park in the streets, but thats because we know the places to park. The railway station is a fair way off, so if thats how you come to the game, then be prepared to walk or get a taxi. Not sure about buses, but I do know that, at least, one bus route goes pretty close. If you are able to walk, to the ground, thats not a problem. As I said its in a residential area, so no major roads to negotiate.

Plainmoor has been where it is, for a good many 10's of years. I love it there, as do, I think , most Gulls supporters. Would not want to change it and end up on one of these new fangle purpose build stadiums.

That's the best thing ever posted on the Internet.

Matt.

It's a long ol' ride from Kent...

Regards food, we do all the normal football stuff, burgers, hot dog, chips, sweeties, chocolate bars, 500ml bottles of soft drinks, tea, coffee and Bovril for the working class. Prices, cheaper than almost everywhere else (Oxford is something like £2.90 for a cup of tea. With prices like that, you'd think they'd have a four sided ground)

My Tim Sills shirt was free, but that's because I nicked it.

Teach a man to fish and all that. Matty, go here >>> http://www.torquayunited.com/tickets/ticket-prices/ for ticket prices

The best way to get to the ground is a totally subjective question. If you live next door, then walking is your best bet. Paul Bastard lives in Manchester, so his best bet is likely not to be walking. Question unanswerable.

Yes, at Manchester United, I see 76,000 people per week paying £100 for a ticket. That might be nice... I have an alternative suggestion,I'd like other clubs to behave as we do. Pay their bills, pay for stuff they have, don't go into administration every 5 minutes having been promoted when they clearly didn't deserve it and then repeat the process all over again. We finished outside the autos the last couple of years to one club who were in administration for about the 20th time this season (Swindle) and a team who, apparently, owe a million pounds and have still managed to come bottom (Bury) and a team who are Conference South material dressed up behind some mystery benefactor who no one knows and is, apparently, happy to throw millions and millions a week at a venture which anyone and everyone knows is completely unsustainable (Cheaty).

Aside from that, I concur with Kent, the fanciest way to get to the ground (we're talking ivory pipe, top hat and monocle fancy) is by unicycle.

Danny... you answered exactly the same as me but with more words..... apart from the mode of transport..... why on earth would I get a bus to Plainmoor when I have a perfectly good unicycle at my disposal?

I hardly think that KentGull's post will be very useful to you Matt, hopefully I'll be able to give you some sensible answers.

Spend million of pounds that we haven't got on players and improving the club infrastructure, then when it comes to paying the bills plead poverty, pay off the bills for a fraction of the price, get a new load of owners, escape any sort of points deduction and/or fine and carry on that cycle....
