In at least 15 of the last 25 years Torquay have ended the season with a crucial match that could be called a cup final :
Play Off Finals
Swansea – Plainmoor
Blackpool – Wembley
Colchester – Wembley
Cambridge – Wembley
Stevenage – Old Trafford
Play Off Semi Finals
Preston – away
Exeter – Plainmoor
Cup Finals
Bolton – Wembley
Ebbsfleet – Wembley (OK not the last match of season)
Promotion
Southend – away
Relegation
Crewe – Plainmoor
Orient – away
Barnet – away
Boston – home
Colchester – away
Does any other team at this level have such a record I wonder?
I ve been to 12 of these (including Sunday) - (I missed Preston, Swansea & Orient).
Has anyone here been to all 15?

I agree - favourites were Southend & Blackpool. The results we wanted without the stress of a relegation decider.robbotufc wrote:including saturday it will be 14 for me and missing only the preston away match,still one of my favourites was southend away
Hopefully tomorrow will match these.

I've only actually been in the ground for 5 including tomorrow, stood outside Barnet cos they couldn't count, and saw another 2 on telly. Only completely missed 1 that's happened since I've been a fan, though in the case of Boston I think I was already resigned to relelgation.

Actually, i counted Barnet as having 'been to' - but i too was stood in the field behind the away end. So down to 10 for me!Bigman wrote:I've only actually been in the ground for 5 including tomorrow, stood outside Barnet cos they couldn't count, and saw another 2 on telly.

Only 6 for me, but not a bad effort considering I live in Northumberland and was out of the country at a dying man's bedside for one of them!

Northumberland Gulls, we drive south to all the games!
Were we not down long before the Boston game? It certainly felt like it...
