I would echo this wholeheartedly. It would have been very easy for the atmosphere to turn sour yesterday given the poor performance and result, and the pathetic display of officiating on show. However, as is so often the case, the Yellow army kept at it as best they could despite not having a roof over our heads. So often you see supporters of their own clubs at odds with eachother but that it very rare with Torquay. There seems to be quite a healthy number of young children being brought to games and that can only be a good thing.
I have used the supporters club for a number of games this season, and have had many interesting conversations with a variety of different people and not once have I felt like the person I was talking to was clueless, out of order or a nasty piece of work, as a result I have made many new friends this season. The away support in particular is such that you recognise nearly everyone who turns out.
Paul, your little girl was very well behaved, and I can only hope she enjoyed it, however surely making her witness that must go down as some sort of bad parenting
? Also, i understand you had a run in with the referee when you went to retrieve the drum which had been so pointlessly confiscated?
