Torquay United Fans Forum

Today.

13th April 2019. A date to remember !!

I know we have 4 games left, still some way to go, but I would like to say to all the teams in this division thanks for some great games, As with out your teams and all of your staff and helpers at your grounds it would not have made it such an interesting season for all in this league, this is the grassroots for young players that could go on to much bigger clubs, and some players on the way down there playing days, so what ever happens to your club in the last 4 games keep the support as we can not afford to loose teams to building contractors.and other threats that clubs in lower divisions face.

At about 4.50 pm on Saturday, we will be proclaimed league champions ..... The only doubt is that Woking might beat Chelmsford because Gerring won't be playing.

Gut feeling is we will wrap it up v Chippenham. Hopefully we will have the silverware ready to present for our last home game.

I hope so , I’ve got hotel booked and wouldn’t it be nice to sit back and relax

The only game I cannot make before the end of the season is Hungerford at Plainmoor. So, being selfish, I want Chelmsford to hammer Woking on Saturday (Woking's only slim chance of catching us is if they win in deepest darkest Essex and we capitulate against Langney Sports) and we do likewise to Eastbourne.... titles ours. But c'mon everyone, we're Torquay United, we're not going to make this easy for ourselves... nah, sod it! it'll be as good as done on Saturday....or will it... f**k... bloody permutations!

Put another way, Woking have to get 2 wins and 2 draws plus any points we get in these last 4 matches to beat us. That will time out very quickly.

After yesterday bar a disaster we know it is certainly a matter of When will be crowned champions. If we are mathematically champions on Saturday will the trophy presentation be Saturday or will we wait until the next home game??

Hopefully Eastbourne or at worst Chippenham that way the Hungerford game can be a celebration for all concerned, and I assume the trophy will be presented at the end of the game...signal party time

Home to Eastbourne on Saturday if we win and Woking lose at Chelmsford (or effectively if they draw given the goal differences).

Away to Chippenham if we beat Eastbourne and Woking win at Chelmsford.

Obviously may be later if we drop points.

We've just beaten five teams around the play offs.
Even if we lose to Woking we effectively need 8 points from 4 teams well below us in the table. Although should note that two are still fighting relegation and St Albans may still have a play off chance. We can afford to lose to Woking and one other, but must keep playing as we have been as we don't want it to go to the last game.
I think we'll be more motivated than Woking, will beat them and with little to play for they won't win at Chelmsford, so we'll win the league at Plainmoor v Eastbourne.

I think St Albans play off challenge will be over by the time we meet them. Certainly should be able to win our two remaining games at home and Chippenham and St Albans away should produce at least two points.
Saturday's match will mean more to Woking now. If they fail to win then they are certainly looking at the play offs. That should take a lot of pressure off us.

We need to just get it done so we can just enjoy the last few games. Beat Woking on Saturday, really no reason why not we are the form team and everyone is scared of us.. That will put us 10 points clear worth extra point with goal difference. April 13th let the party begin against Eastbourne.
If you think about it can anyone really believe the job GJ has done, and it is more a less with the same team, It really is a unbelievable turn around. And what a run we are on now. To steal a line from another well know team... The Yellow moon is rising. This GJ train is not stopping until the premier league.. I am still having trouble getting my head round it. Question where does Gary Johnson now rank in the best managers Torquay have had category?

Now 9 to 1 on with the bookies.
