I don’t think there will be significant trouble. Police well prepared. 16 officers inside and outside ground at 2pm plus more in town including dog unit.

The problem is how many of these idiots actually got arrested at Bath, WSM or wherever - probably none.

If they have hired a coach then surely even with all the cuts its not beyond police intelligence to identify the bloody thing and stop and search it before it gets anywhere near Woking.

Its hardly rocket science but someone needs to get proactive - not give these cretins free range to do what they like.

Whilst our younger more excitable stone island wearing supporters are not allowed to travel on the official supporters club coach's, I'm reliably informed they've hired their own coach and will be there in good numbers tomorrow.

Woking have a few of their own troublesome fans, so the only thing that would shock me, is if something doesn't happen (hopefully so) so keep your wits about you, and if you sense it, steer well clear.
I've heard this too. Hope we're both wrong but I fear that there may well be some trouble - especially if we were to lose. My son was at Bath and WSM and was embarrassed at what happened there.

I was told on good authority that some causing trouble at Bath weren't Torquay fans. Supporters of another club in that area.

Pretty sure that one of the cretins that was causing trouble came on here to defend them all, and it was revealed by him that one of the pricks was a serving police officer,

Unfortunately you can sense the trouble that will happen sitting at home in TQ

The 'special' travelling contingent we seem to have will be on fine form with flares and god knows what else

A shame it detracts from the vast majority who are interested in watching football not intent on causing trouble, a person who's actions could at worse cost TUFC points on the board is certainly no fan!

Fingers crossed for no major issues, 3 points and a party V Eastbourne

And a local plod or two. Not needed there but definitely should be at Woking - as I'm sure they will - and in the ground not outside like at Bath.

Well put Bristolian

I went across and challenged the idiots at Bath but I have to be blunt, I saw nobody else doing so. As a result I felt exposed and vulnerable so it does demand a big act of faith from people who may not wish to put their heads above the parapet. I'll be sitting down tomorrow and doubt that any idiots would want to be in that section so I can only hope the there is no repeat of the thuggery because that is what it was.

Some people need to be realistic. It's small fry when compared to the many other sets of followers the police will be dealing with. I know the company that supplies Woking having had them work for me at Reading. They will be understaffed and have little in the way of Intel so it'll be up to the away fans to behave themselves in the face of expected goading and provocation from the home fans. Woking have their own element who are more than capable of sorting out the kids from Torquay. Almost guaranteed to be some kind of flare up somewhere with that number of fans travelling.

Focus on the game and let the security deal with it. It's hard to tell the difference between a hooligan and someone slapping him for being one.
