Torquay United Fans Forum

I will almost certainly get accused of sterotyping here, but you had to be there so see how identical they all were

All in their 30's or 40's but trying to look much younger in "one direction" trousers and baseball caps. All with short hair, all just slightly overweight from too much cider, which was a nice addition to the spring air! What was most funny to watch was that they all pretended to look hard by the way they strolled around, but no-one seeme to care much.

Our little group were talking about how we reckon each of them probably has a "dog on a rope" at home, probably still lives with mummy, and clearly from Bristol's poorer areas, which is indead saying something. They are probably all on the booze in the bay now, trying to pick up girls when the only thing they are likely to pull is each other !

We were only a few seats away from the main block of segregated rovers fans and as we looked across it was a massive difference, families sat together, older people, younger people and generally fans with a bit of class.

....I suppose what I am saying, if the rovers fans in the home areas never had any intention of getting tickets in the away end at all, just thought it would be a bit more fun to wind up the home fans and act a bit hard.

....As they purchase another martini for some bimbo, who is never going to go back to a seedy Torbay hotel tonight I would just advise eveyone to let it go, let them have their teenage kicks as by Monday they will be back watching "Killroy" at 1pm in the afternoon, pitbull at their feet...and that sadly for them is how they get their kicks.
