Was at Plainmoor today. Took my little one around and into the club shop and reception.

I bought a t shirt, pair of home shorts, mug, key ring for the little un's school bag and tufc football for the little one. Was served by the lass in there who was very helpful as was the lady and young man in reception when I went to get my ticket for the bench. Can't wait for tomorrow now.

Yeah, I went to Shaldon and then Exeter races where it goes without saying I lost. The misery of losing the best part of £60 only second to the traffic on the main road into Torquay from the Penn Inn and beyond. WTF is going on around there?! Both directions too, I didn't actually think THAT many people lived in Devon and it seems they do and they all drive cars! Stuck in a crawl all the way down to Hele turn off and even then there are temp lights in Hele. Bloody nightmare.

Tomorrow I'm going via Shaldon and dropping down, there's no way I'm sitting in that sh*t again.

COYY!!!

The Newton Road is always like that, 24 hours a day. They're building the bypass, hence the works. This is the bypass which was first mooted in about 1948 and which would have cost 3/6. Now, 30 years after the deep South West died from a lack of blood due to a heavily constricted artery west of Newton Abbot, they've decided to spend £100m on doing it.

Speaking to someone who knows, she says the Shaldon way is your best bet if you're going to the game.

Harding, labadie, and lathrope could be an interesting midfield trio!

lets hope we 've got a focused side out today it seemed a quiet week on the forum I just hope we get a good crowd and noisey one. We've got to get behind the side today as this could be the game of the season.

Dropping by far our best central midfielder from our previous match would be really interesting!

Quite sunny here in Wiveliscombe. I shall set off at about 11.30 and travel via Starcross and Shaldon. Going back should be o.k. along the Newton Road; it usually is.
Not much hope, but you never know.

Andy should have rang me, would have shown a number of ways around the traffic on the Newton Road. Bix the will road will improve things, rarely a problem between Kingskerswell going towards Newton Abbot, for those of us who live in Milber this road can't come soon enough, the 5 minute walk to penn inn roundabout from my house can take 15 minutes in the car at the wrong time.

Yet another big match. It really makes a change knowing that the game will be on rather than spending most of the day waiting for it to be called off.
Is this the last chance saloon for us - well no but realistically if we don't win this its looking forlorn to me.
A massive seven days, three winnable games so we really need to get some points on the board.
Accrington have a far more settled side than us and although I am going it is more in hope than expectation. Havn't seen us win yet this season and I can't say I am really expecting much today either.
Dud signings by Hargreaves in Rudge,Stevens and Cooper for starters. Most likely we will be without our best forward in Bodin. Loan signings like O'Brien who have done bugger all and a forward line who cannot score any goals.
Goodness knows what line up Hargreaves will inflict upon us this afternoon. Most likely we will be reliant on Goodwin and perhaps Wilkinson is the answer to our prayers.

He's been hopeless for about three seasons. Dropping him would be Nirvana.

Three shots on target all night. All came from Rovers and two of them went in. I've no doubt **** Burton will turn into Real Madrid against us and Rovers will play like **** against Northampton.

three points is a must today.

it also depends which accres turn up too - they seem either to be good or bad and are good away from home.

they were unlucky v scunny - apparently.

Not seen a home game since Morecambe, hoping for a vocal crowd so we can get behind the lads!

COYY!!
