Torquay United Fans Forum

That's true mate. Buckland away will be easy to get too, Harburtonford may be a bit more tricky.

With this team I must admit to being very worried

Out of the blue, my mate an Exeter City season ticket holder, rang me this evening. He asked if I was going to the game could he come along. He wanted to show a bit of support ( he bought £10 half time draw tickets). Frankly he may of given the club £30 but bloody he'll do I wish I had said no. He could not believe how poor we were and stated he could not understand how we had fallen so far. I told him it had been like this for 18 months. He could not understand how me and the boy have continued attending all home and some away. Tonight was an embarrassing.

Whoever it was, what a first class **** their goalscorer was. Why did he taunt and stick his tongue out to the away end before being physically restrained by Halsted as he appeared to make his way toward the fans in the away end. Weird. Talking weird things as friendly as Weymouth were, and I would thank then for their kind gesture, that confiscating the tops of drinks bottles was truelly strange. Was told by the steward that it stopped people using full bottles of drink as weapons???

Nice lad. Sat next to him on train home from London once. Talked about TUFC. Wish him all the best.

At 68 he ain't short of a Bob or two. Could have stood up and stated as a 'fan" I will stay and try and sort something out until the end of the season. Wrong sort of fan I suppose.

Just heard that Johnson has walked. If true what a . He was obviously in it just for the wage. I wouldn't mind but him coming out with all that crap about being a fan. Did admire this man but now detest him. Really showed his true colours. Heard that Downes is now in charge. At least he seems to have some heart.

With a relegation battle looming it's a good job we haven't got a team that capitulate's on every difficult game.

Probably hoping I will again pay my money to see the game at Taunton, then due to April showers they will transfer the game to Plainmoor. I'll then have to pay again. How did we end up in this fiasco of a league when our attendances still average 2000. Maybe it's best if they do to a sick animal and put us down quietly. I can tell the boy they've gone to draw with Spurs every week in the sky.

How can they do that? Paid my money. F***ing robbing cornish pirates

With April showers probably never be played.

MAN do I hate being in this tin pot league

Don't think it'll be on. Apparently pitch is in a right state. Hope my source is wrong. Won't be paying in advance again in this pub league. Looks like I've lost my money for the Taunton and Truro games.

I think he may be right. I do remember Chelsea always got relegated when they didn't wear white socks.
Let's change this kit immediately and watch us surge to the top of the league. Up the Gulls.

My Boy and me have attended all the home game and some away. Yesterday at around midday and thinking about the Slough result, I decided I would not be going. My boy pleaded with me to change my mind but when I stated no he decided to catch the bus on his own. I sat at home watching the score and secretly a bit of glee seeped in as I was proved right. When the lad arrived home I berated him with what a waste of a day and how they would probably be relegated. He looked so sad that I started to reflect. My Dad first took me to Plainmoor when I was 3. My earliest memory of the game is Mike Mahoney tipping a shot over the bar. We went to places like Rochdale and bigger stadium like Spurs, Man City and Sheff Wed to name a few. We started taking my boy along at 3 and he was mascot once.
I think the atmosphere is so toxic at the moment that it is twisting how I really feel. I asked my lad if the players came over after the game and he said most screamed at them where to go. I thought I probably would have done the same. On reflection I now feel ashamed that although they may not be the best, they are wearing the kit of a club that has meant so much in my life. The look on some of the players faces before, during and after each game is fear.
Maybe I am gullible but I will be travelling to Taunton on Tuesday. I'll remember what that Gold and Blue has, and always will mean to me and cheer the Gulls on. They look like rabbits caught in the headlights at the moment. Maybe if we could show a bit of positivity it will rub off on the team. Sad when even Halsted, who was brilliant at the start of the season, now looks like he wants to be anywhere but out there.
