Some kind of test on entry when available? Getting in and out of pinch points like toilet areas will be interesting. Will not get too excited until I'm actually in my seat. Have the club even produced the season tickets yet? I was going to collect mine, not sure if it's waiting for me. Hopefully back for Wrexham but still not convinced!! Is away travel allowed? Still more questions than answers. Will keep an eye on website for updates!!

I dont agree with them at all, fans can be safely managed in open air venues however going against them is not the way to make a stand imo.

Whydoibother wrote: 02 Oct 2020, 19:52 I was a bit surprised he hasn't had a defensive cover in. Moxey obviously centre half as well but suspended for 3 games and because of Davis out long term will be left back. Hall can cover back there if needed but he hasn't had much of a pre season. With Warren's legs already gone he will only be a sub most of time. Kerr would obviously playing but he is injured. Chuck in Andrews will have to play left back for 3 matches

happytorq wrote: 01 Oct 2020, 18:43 I guess they literally updated things just after I made my comment. Typical. (although I think you have the wrong page - it should be https://torquayunited.com/watch-united- ... port-live/)

had a quick look - £9 a game or £190 for the season, right? That season price is a discount of £8, which isn't a huge amount, so I expect I'm going to just pay my 9 quid for each match that I can watch (living in a different time zone means that midweek games will be tough for me, anyway).

That's not bad.

What would be helpful, if anybody gets time to do it (hopefully I'll time this weekend myself!) will be to see what the situation is at other clubs; naturally this streaming applies to games at Plainmoor only, so I wonder if other teams will be doing something similar.

happytorq wrote: 21 Sep 2020, 20:02 Well yeah, but that's a completely different thing.

If Bale has signed a contract for that much money and they're trying to move him out, he is under absolutely no obligation to say "yeah, ok I'll take less money to go away". If any of us were offered a job that paid half as much as what we're getting now, we'd probably not do it unless there is a compelling reason to do so. The scale of the money involved doesn't matter too much.

Definitely a case to be made about the big football clubs not giving a toss about the little ones - the so-called "solidarity payments" are a joke - but that's something entirely different to a guy who's won 4 Champions Leagues (scoring in two finals) expecting his employers to hold up their end of the bargain.

DWB wrote: 03 Jul 2020, 14:06 Have just been told on good authority that Gary Warren has signed for us which is why he did not feature in the playoffs games for Exeter!

For Torquay who have no money, no separate fiancé stream, next season when ever that starts will be very different to the last, a good percentage of our team will be youth players whether they are ready or good enough because that will be the reality of football at our level going forward, I do not believe we will be disadvantaged because the majority of not all of teams in out league will be in the same position.
