And to try to get the message across,which Walshy seems to have understood that you guys are singing your hearts out on the half way thinking you are creating a great atmosphere but half the ground can not hear you.

I heard you guys signing 'when the gulls go marching in'when i was walking out the ground it sounded really good,to create a great atmosphere you guys have got to find a way of getting that chant and others going right across the popside.

All i could hear was a dull thud of what might have been a drum,and nothing else,to me the last few minutes the normal yellow army chant got louder,have to say i do not mind copying other clubs chants rather that than nothing.

That said there are some you just dont copy,and the likes of bubbles,you never walk alone etc are among that list,just aint right.

Am sure they would rather hear you getting 'behind' them, who cares about Exeter, we are at Plainmoor to support Torquay are we not?

Parry wrote: Nothing wrong with singing anti-exeter songs, I don't like exeter and never will.
And walshy I do join in and try to get others going but it's hard. Anything that doesnt have the words 'yellow' or 'army' seems to be a bit too exotic for most.

On a positive note it was good to see a group of you getting behind the Lindsey singing on the pitch, swaying with your scarves etc!! Other than my 1st comment thought you made great effort y'day, keep it up!!
