Re: Wills 'n' Kate
I served Prince William in his chauffer driven Jag when he was doing pilot training at Cranwell. Never forgetting leaning out of Window 1 at a McDonalds and seeing Prince William staring back!

Re: Bid for Benyon rejected!
I'd expect the club to offer him a new contract, he is important for us, hope to see him get many many more for us!

Re: Fleetwood Town or Walsall at home
Very winnable what with Walsall being dead bottom of League 1 and Fleetwood being pants.

Re: Miserable Crowd Figure
We're overly reliant on travelling fans, hitting the woodwork 17times isn't going to attract those who lost the buzz.

Re: Battle of the Seasiders - Match Thread
Hello everyone, i was at the match today, and I thought we were terrible. Had we been against 11 men we wouldn't have one, simple, first half we were poor, benyon was bullied out of the match by the sheer size of the Morecambe squad (anyone else notice there were no black players?)
First sending off, from where I was stood I thought benyon had 'gone down' as is expected of a small striker such as he, though the person next to me was adamant it was a penalty, one for the football league I think.
Something has gone wrong with our defense, their equalising goal was astonishing, how no-one bothered to try and clear the ball remains a mystery, and I too would like to see if Scott could have done anything to stop it going in.
Second half started pretty much the same, sad to see Kee didn't have a good game, I respect him for the effort he's putting in but just can't see him partnering Benyon. Anyway, the two new boys on loan come on as subs, Torquay actually look capable of doing something. That Hemmings lad, something very Jake Thomson about him, as for Rose, pace, skill, desire, VERY glad to have him in our squad (is he on a 1month loan? If so we need this fella on a season loan.)
The second goal was a scrappy affair followed by a perfect strike by Rose, a real belter and definitely one for the FL show. The third goal showed how Zebroski has matured of late, he was on a 1-1 with the keeper, with a short margin nearside post, but he lifted his head, saw an on side Benyon and passed allowing a simple tap in for Torquays Number 9.
Little word about the second red card, absolute disgrace, he went in to stamp on Rose. Those of you at the game will have noticed how the player took the red with no complaint and walked off the pitch.
All in all, first half crap, second half better, substitutes worked well today, shout out for O'kane who had a few decent runs and passes, we're onto a money spinner with him, an finally, Macklin starting in place of Danny - are you having a laugh buckle?

Re: Battle of the Seasiders - Match Thread
Fancy a Zebroski double today, Kee with the assists.
2-0
For me, tomorrow will be won or lost in Midfield, can our young boys step up?

Re: Gillingham vs Torquay Match Thread
As long as we don't defend too deep, I can see us coming away with a point from this, Zebs is on form and wouldn't be surprised if he added another to his tally today.
Gillingham - 1
Torquay - 1
Partly glad i'm not going £23 is ridiculous.

Re: Why do you support Torquay?
I wasn't born in Devon, nor have i ever lived in the Bay, my Parents were Teign Valley born and bred.
My dad would always take me to away matches in the east midlands, Lincoln City (a) being my favourite fixture of every season, and when we were in Devon for family events/christmas/easter my Dad and Grandfather would take me to Mecca (as we call it in our house) and as others have alluded to, the noise, the goals, the ups, the downs, it gets to you.
My friends back home may support Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool but how many of them can say they've sung on the terrace and felt every football emotion possible?
Now i'm down in Exeter studying for my degree, it's just a train down to the Bay and then I can escape the Grammar and the Vocabulary of Spanish, Portuguese and Russian languages and I can stand next to my Grandad, watch my football club and feel part of something.
The only thing is to watch my beloved Torquay in the future, i'm going to have to find a job in Devon which uses languages!![LOL :lol:](./images/smilies/lol.gif)

As long as his attitude is better than that Barnes bloke from last year, this should give us a bit more depth in the run up to christmas
