Predictable as he is not a manager !!

Ok Phil, enjoy your night at the theatre of dreams rather than the theatre of nightmares !!!

Nice to meet you ModGull and thanks for your kind comments !!

I have been selling 50/50s since it started in about 1994 !
I used to volunteer to work in the programme shop under the old grandstand in the late 1970s and used to sell Torquay Utd lottery tickets door to door in the 1980's. I tried to get my customers to come to Plainmoor ....but that was a hard sell !!!

I used to have a few elderly customers on my round and I used to feel like someone from social services as they always wanted to have a chat !!
I used to love doing my round but the introduction of the National Lottery sadly put an end to that. I am just so disappointed that the club does not have a proper commercial department. Just having a match day sponsor and player sponsors is not enough !!! They should be doing so much more !

Please anyone reading this make yourself known if you buy 50/50s off me !

See if you agree with my dream team /squad on the link below as well !

Hope to see you next Tuesday to go through the agony again !!!

Good to share with a fellow sufferer !!

Take care mate !

Hi DevonBee

My first game was against Bristol Rovers in 1971 when I was 10 !

Here is my dream time but after writing it I could not believe that I inadvertently left out Eunan O'Kane who gave me probably the highlight of my Gulls supporting career by scoring those two goals against the Green garbage and after waiting forty years to beat them in a league game !!

No real excuses for that apart from I had fifty years of players / games to go through and so many players to choose from !!

If you enter the ground by the Family Stand / Bristows Bench you can see me selling 50/50 tickets at each game !!

Take care !!

Sadly ....

OLLOCKS Oh FF SAKE goal down and now fecking red card !!
Where is the bloody discipline in this team......Thick as sh*t

No mention of Ken Sandercock or Lew Chatterley but Phil got one line ! Mike Mahoney, Clint Boulton and Bruce Stuckey had a couple of lines but obviously Bruce Rioch has a good write up !!

I don't need Google to identify players I have seen over the last 50 years !

I will Google them to see if they are even there , Bruce Rioch surely but the rest could be interesting !!

Ken & Phil ! Mike, Bruce , Lew another Bruce and a Clint !!!!

At least Uncle Clarke will be happy with the extra dosh.

Nobody is forcing you or anybody else to watch it !!

And before you ask yes I have also been to those exotic towns & places ! Workington, Scunthorpe,. Carlise Darlington, Port Vale ,Forest Green all twice ! Plus many others at least once !!
