Same as at other clubs. Most clubs have libraries for home grounds and when they go away it's much better. I don't know why though, a total mystery to me that.

I'll be at Wycombe and just shouting random stuff and singing my anus off and I can't wait. (Cue loads of fans planning to go to Wycombe now hastily revising them ).

Although as others have said, the away following normally is a hell of a lot better vocally than at home.

I'm hoping to be at Wycombe in a few weeks and I think we can get a good atmosphere going there. I'll certainly try my best but my voice only lasts about 5 minutes

Atmosphere was not worth it mate.

Fair enough! Hopefully we can get something going at Rochdale! I've got a group of around 10-15 people coming from all ages! Not Torquay fans but they all look out for them and some consider them as second teams because of me! Also will all want to make a bit of noise and I took a few to Swindon and although there wasn't much noise it was pretty much all started by us/me.

Any videos or not?

I was let down sincerely by the person bringing the drum onto the coach forgetting the drum! I was absolutely gutted.

Not noisy at all, because the singers chose to go outside. Had they been in the stand then there would have been a hell of an atmosphere..

I can confirm there was no drum in attendance...

However, I will ask a mate of mine to take a video if the atmosphere is good enough because I'll be on the drum. Let's hope we make a racket, no matter where we are!

How was it? noisy?

I think Danny usually takes the footage and then posts it on the net but he hasn't been able to get to any of our away games this year up north. Rest assured there has been myself and a handful of others trying our hardest to get things going but at places like Fleetwood and Morecambe it is always going to be difficult and none of us bother to record anything. Northampton was good because there were significantly more fans there and the noise was better but I still don't know if anyone took any decent footage.

That is probably why there is plenty of video from more southerly games because more fans go who take the vids but I just want people to know that there are a few of us (some that don't necessarily stand with us either) who try and make the effort at far flung northern outposts and just because we don't get filmed it doesn't mean to say the minority isn't making a difference to the lads on the pitch and in the proud representation of Torquay United Football Club. =D

Not that I can find, the main account hasn't posted since either morecambe away or rovers at home at the end of last season!

Well exactly, spend my Saturday evenings mostly just moaning about how close my accumulators were now!
