Well whether it’s cursed, a psychological thing or just because we don’t play as well away from home, maybe the answer is to play in at Plainmoor for a match and see what happens?!

We’ve now switched to white and guess what? We’re losing away games still.

Oh yeah, the standard of the kits is fine if you ask me although the high collars are too tight around the neck.

It might just be that we are not yet the finished article and, despite winning a few and briefly finding ourselves top, the team are struggling with the variety of away pitches - some plastic, some awful - and the same-day travel etc meaning the home advantage at this level is materially greater than in the football league.

Or we could blame a local business who have provided an awful lot of support to the club.

Absolute b*llocks about the kit.....
What do people want??
Play in the home shirt when we are away?
And if we lose in that one, get rid of that too???
Madness.

These strips were all about profit margins for the club and possibly rightly so, but when you have a strip for away games that we cannot and have not won in then questions need to be asked, are we after a football strip or something that looks like casual wear for the beach. nothing can be done to remedy the situation until the summer but then this kit supplier will need to go back to basics.

Because the Palm Tree shirt looked ridiculous as a football shirt

Time for a fourth kit perhaps. Pale blue with dark trim and dark blue shorts ans socks? Who knows.

There are no such things as curses. But... Torquay haven't won a single game in a second kit. Form has slumped. Help...
