Bit concerned about the Maidenhead keeper though - wasn't he subbed off injured yesterday and they only had an outfield player available to get well gloved up.

Can we loan them Shaun MacDonald for the weekend?

If we're looking at GD our home game against Barnet is our best chance to catch up on that front. Barnet have shipped a LOT of goals this season and we would need to hit the target early on to steady the nerves and then start racking up goals.

22 May is also scheduled to be Sutton v Hartlepool which looks a juicier top end of table clash and better option for TV.

I think BT would only take on the Torquay Barnet game if it was clear that a win would give us the title.

I know we're playing away, but I wonder how difficult it'd be to set it up to put the Alty stream on the big screen at Plainmoor. Let some people in, charge them a token fee - call it, I dunno, a fiver - and have everybody watch it collectively.
you could even offer to bung Altrincham a couple of quid from each 'ticket' so they don't feel hard done by.

Count me in!

The Kents always used to have BT Sport. Dunno how they're set up for viewing in the COVID world.

Shame the club or Boots & Laces can't equip themselves for outdoor drinking / viewing somehow.

One has to think there'll be plenty of takers for any pub showing the game.

Before Notts Co v Sutton last night, Oddschecker had Sutton at evens and Torquay at 2/1, Stockport 9/1.
So the bookies will be wrong every time the favourite changes.

What's important to understand is that with so few games left the odds can change wildly. Hartlepool were 50/1 a couple of days ago and 9/1 last week.

I too like to follow the market Portugull, and take that as a generally better indicator than pundits and forum dwellers alike - but we've all been following Torquay long enough to know that this isn't going to be a shoo-in for TUFC over next 4 games. The boys are gonna have to work for every point, which they've been doing very well over the last 9 games.....

I'll get hanged for saying this, but why not play it at Home Park in front of 8,000+ fans in that case?

Really, the instagram video from an hour ago looked great;

Anyone know if Woking have furloughed any players and are fielding a team of young'uns? Their manager said they would if they lost in the Trophy last week, which they duly did. But I've not seen any formal notice of furloughs.

Looking forward to seeing a teamsheet of lambs to the slaughter.
