Torquay United Fans Forum

I don't beeellleeeeevvveee it. Damn Creepy on TV again with extended highlights in local Late Kick off Programme. I am beginning to hate the very sound of that Name. gggrrrrrr :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ :@

They interviewed me and couple of others outside the bar, and we didn't even get a mention. I think if Crawley had won it would have been edited slightly differently, but being they didn't it just made Evans look a bigger T**T than we had ever imagined.

Little is better with regards to attention, let's sit quitely and wait until we get to at least a play off position and Crawley slip out of the play offs lol.

[quote="numpte"]I saw Clem outside whilst waiting a ridiculous 20 mins to get a ticket and thought they must be here to record the media's dream team, plucky little Crawley on their anticipated 2nd Promotion. He was too far away for me to say anything to that regard but i wasnt surprised at what i saw on the FL show. Come on Clem, you know they are hated amongst the lower leagues.
As for the day itself, my 2nd visit and indeed witness to our 2nd win at the Broadway or whatever its called reminded me of why i hadnt been back in a few years and why I shant again (potential PO game excluded) for a while. Modern but poor facilities for the FL and no doubt they need some cash (Tubbs et al) to upgrade them such as more seats, silly stewards and shocking pitch.
[b]Having said all that, a great win and I reckon we'll be there or there abouts so pencil in Hereford (A) on the last day, we should surpass the 2k that went to Sarfend a few years ago.[/quote][/b]

Blimey what a day that could be, one team possibly going up and another going down. Hopefully our season will be sorted out by the last day and then dont have to go to that shithole. I agree that we could take 2000 there but unfortunately their away limit is 1400.

My own personal view is, could not give a rats arse as to whether we are ignored all day, all night and all season long, or what anyone's says or think's about Torquay united.

As long as the board, manager, players and us the fan's are happy and stay united, the team keep playing well and winning, thats all that counts, every one else can do one.

Too true!

Reminds me a bit when we faced Notts County live on Sky when Sven was there. It was all about Notts County and we were just a small team who were expected to get beaten. Even when we pulled it back to 2-2, we got little recognition for it.

Let them ignore us I say, the more they ignore us, the sweeter it will be when we make it into League 1 next season.

Southend away in September 2010 was our only previous feature.

Perhaps we'll get our turn when we get promoted as League Two champions and begin next season in League One with the new grandstand.

Or perhaps not..

Fully backed.

I've made my feelings on the FLS clear before. I think it's an amateurish waste of time, and I was also pretty disappointed to find us as the "other team" as part of the main segment and still widely ignored. Have we had our turn yet? Do we even get a turn?

Steve Evans in his post-match interview said Crawley were the better team, but played poorly..! Don't mind that; let everyone overlook the Gulls and disregard our qualities, so we can get under their radar.

The only thing which will stop us finishing in the top three now is injuries, which is more worrying after the injury to Danny Stevens.

I'm more annoyed me,Away day and a couple others got interviewed and didnt even make it into the show ;-)

I'm more than happy for them to overlook us because we can keep continuing to prove them wrong. And doing it with no money spent unlike other teams around us. If they want to ignore us fine by me that just gives us more incentive to get promoted and prove were more of a threat than they think we are.

We all know about Steve Evans criminal past so to watch a BBC piece airbrush the fraud, the bankrolling and the dirty tactics out of history is pretty galling.

I work as a steward at Arsenal and along with violence, overcrowding is by far the main issue. Obviously that doesn't really happen at a modern stadium, but at grounds like Broadfield it can happen if the club aren't careful. Crawley's approach yesterday showed that they did not give a damn about the travelling fans, to give us a corner while behind the goal is empty is stupid in the first place and to limit the space available is dangerous.

haha, how bad are his highlights!! really uncool fatty!!

pitch really did cut up bad didnt it, looked really good at ko too?

my iphone app told me it was mansell who scored, def eunan tho, great to see him hitting the net again after a long barren spell

It is an abolsute disgrace that all we get from the FLS is "Great win for Torquay." I think that's what they say everytime we win and then they go on about the losing side, saying how they played and how they'll bounce back!? So hang on, TUFC with not many funds, beat Crawley at home (only the third team to do that this season!) and all we get is "Great win for Torquay. What a load of crap, but would I expect any less from the Football League Show?
