Torquay United Fans Forum

Yup, a thoroughly decent bunch. No old bollocks and plenty of home fans wishing us well for the future and happily admitting to robbing three points.
For those who may be worried, I escorted Paulie B out personally, just to be on the safe side :~D

Apart from the result i must say it was a most welcoming and a very nice friendly day at Newport not like the newport away days of the late 70s,the stewards,police and the Newport supporters were great today,if we are both in the same league again next season apart from the plymouth and exeter fixtures this will be my next top away match to look out for next season,having a few drinks in the away end club house was a nice place for a tipple before the match,for all at Newport County fc a big thank you today... :-D :-D :-D

Thanks Guest for your kind message. I knew a guest once, Jo Guest from good old Chez Vegas. Any relation?

Hope you enjoy the game on Saturday but not too much. :lol: :-D

Thanks again.

I guess you didn't actually go to the Dartford away game last year then? Princess Park makes a mockery of Dartford's meagre league stature. If you like that sort of thing, it's the 'greenest' ground on earth. It's is also a damn sight better than visiting Luton or Wrexham and it knocks spots off the likes of Exeter and Accrington.

Good to hear that your pitch is nice. Given our XI for tomorrow, it won't get too badly damaged by having a ball passed around on it.

[quote="Behind-the-Gulls"]Thanks Mr Guest! Looking forward to visiting Newport again. Last time you played us in the Football League was your ill-fated 1987-88 season.You beat us 3-1 at home and we won 6-1 at Plainmoor(Lee Sharpe got a couple) We won 2-1 in the FA Trophy at Spitty Park in 2008.
Good luck for the rest of the season-nice to see you back.
I'm expecting a draw on Saturday-2-2.Fully expecting Zeb to score against us(or get sent-off!)[/quote]

we battered Morecombe and lost 3-2 missed several chances and gifted them with two own goals and a penalty against Exeter our defence was outstanding. zebroski been excellent leading the line does miss the odd chance though. we have several first team players missing up front but have two experience defenders back. last few years been a pleasure to watch. two Wembley trips in two years will be treasured and live long in my memory playing sides like yourselves Exeter Bristol Portsmouth etc you cant put a price on. 25 years in the wilderness so a warm welcome to all Torquay supporters enjoy the day enjoy the match. :goal:

NO generally away support 500 in stand and up to a 1000 behind the goal. last time I watched these two sides meet it was in Torquay you had a player I think is name was lenny Lawrence centre forward we give him some not very nice verbal's he replied by scoring 4 goals celebrating each time by jumping on the fence behind the goal where we were standing fair play to him.

ok thanks for the info Alexgulls it got me a bit worried

Thats usually what they give for the seating I believe but we have the terrace as well.

our local paper have said that we are only getting 500 tickets for away fans is this true ?

Hi I am guest from Newport a warm welcome if there is anything you want to ask if your coming to the game or not fire away. its great to be back in the football league after 25 years, non league football is brutal the conference premier especially trips to Gateshead, barrow Hyde Tamworth, Dartford alferton await the poor sods who drop down, then you have the bigger teams Luton, Grimsby Wrexham Cambridge

a little bit about the ground pitch excellent condition, stands both sides the bisley stand for away supporters end of stand but good views, open end terrace behind goal for away support seated but open. I req you buy a ticket for bisley terrance better view of game, hazel terrace / stand for home supporters, can be very partisan and vocal at times all good banter tho. very intimidating for away players and manager county supporters stand behind the dug out.

:scarf: enjoy the game you will be welcomed :scarf:
