Torquay United Fans Forum

Just 5 of the required 25 fans signed up so far, so the chances of getting the 2nd leg covered are looking slim! Unless that number changes significantly I won't update this thread again as I imagine it'd be quite annoying.

Massive thanks to those of you who've spread the word and also to those who've signed up - hope you're enjoying it so far! Will keep a look out for you - my team name is 'Greenwich Gulls'.

Absolutely - am just the excitable sort. Hopefully my heavily-caveated initial post will absolve me of any conflict of interest. Besides, I'm sure they'd start a bit higher up the tree than us if they had decided to embark on a shameful guerilla marketing strategy.

Are you sure you don't work for picklive?

We've had 4 Gulls fans sign up in the first 24 hours, which is a fantastic start! We have 9 more days to get to magic 25...

Please spread the word if you know of anyone else who might be interested. I'll check this thread regularly so post here or give me a shout on Twitter if you have any questions.

bathy has it exactly right, both about Picklive not showing the match live and about The Football Ramble being awesome

Thanks for changing your supported club, although I have a horrible feeling they won't count it as you're not a 'new' member. If I get close to 25 I fully intend to argue the toss though!

It's just the gambling, you won't be able to watch the game on that site.

Great, I'm already on picklive (would recommend the football ramble for anyone that listens to podcasts by the way) and so just had to change my supported team to Torquay United, so there's one more onto your tally

The games are both on Sky so you might be able to find a channel that carries it over there, or maybe a web stream of questionable legality will surface nearer the time. Alternatively I'll be tweeting regular updates as always, however I appreciate that's a poor substitute!

Where would I be able to watch this online? I can't use that site because I can't register for a gambling website from here.

Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt SG : )

Understand that it's a tricky issue and wouldn't want the forum getting in trouble for corrupting the innocent!

FYI Picklive have had a couple of Torquay fans sign up already, which is an encouraging start. They're really getting behind this, so would be great if this leads to them doing more lower league games in future.

Will be interesting to see how the next 10 days pan out - will keep this thread updated as I receive news...

It's ok Scott. It's not like GreenwichGull is a serial spammer

Have sent him a PM letting him know what I have done.

ADMIN - PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS CAN STAY OR NOT.

IT IS ENCOURAGING GAMBLING OF SORTS, GIVEN THAT ONE NEEDS TO SIGN UP AND DEPOSIT CASH ETC ETC. THOUGHT IT BEST TO MOVE HERE FIRST AND YOU CAN DECIDE.

TA!!

SCOTT
