Strange indeed, Gazza, out of the Torquay fan's I have spoken, I have not heard a single fan say, we are already up, and where is thier a single post on here claiming we are already up, I can't see one.

However not worth getting them in a twist over to be honest.

[Gulliball]

I think we're incredibly pessimistic as a fanbase, seeing as we're 2nd in the league but not many of our fans think we're favourites for promotion.

Not to mention that that is an awful post - we haven't sold out the home ends for Southend or Crewe, we are limited to 600 tickets for Wimbledon and no-one has any idea how many Hereford tickets have gone already - so 0/5.

if you read down their forum they are saying if they win all their games they've got a chance of pipping us and Crawley to 3rd place .. fair play they do have a chance while it's mathematically possible but they seem to always get ahead of themselves after a couple of wins or when Freddy Eastwood scores .. Baffles me

We are however, guaranteed a play-off place.

Maybe they've read it wrong and misinterpreted the aforementioned.

i like the bit where they are talking bollocks that we took 90+ away fans at their place i thought we had a away following of 229 that day

[AlexGulls]

"Fair dues though at the below
All home ends sold out for Southend and Crewe games

1000 tickets sold for wimbledon away

already 60% of tickets sold for hereford away"

Everything he's posted there is WRONG! The home ends arent sold out for either game yet when I went in the club shop there was still seats avalible in the Family Stand.

No ones even mentioned the away end on here...

How can we sell 1,000 tickets for Wimbledon away when we only got 625?

And I doubt the 60% is right so far considering they only went on sale today...

Unless there already celebrating promotion on the other forum or one no one knows about then hes a clown trying to stir things up..

Think they were takling about their games not ours here....

[Awayday]

I am wondering what forum they are looking at, don't forget there is another Torquay Fans Forum..................

[popside_yidlad]

To be honest I wonder if they got that impression from the end of season party thats been organised. I can see how that could come across if you dont understand all our fans live in a state of nervousness when it comes to our beloved club

[Dave]

Thats a good point Yidlad, thinking about it, it may well be they have read about the end of season party and have missunderstood what thats about.

[HeavenAndHele]

There's two posts on the party, both give one reason as 'We can celebrate promotion', although one adds 'fingers crossed'. I guess our wishful thinking is seen from outside as arrogance!

Only a fool would think we are already up. No denying that it has been a fantastic effort but I still think we are just going to come up short. We have a small squad and are carrying quite a few knocks. It seems that Howe is three quarters crocked according to Ling.
With all the other contenders having bigger squads than us we are not going to go up via the play offs thats for sure.
So its automatic or nothing I fear.
Its a massive game on Saturday and if we beat Southend we still have a great chance.
Having watched Southend play Crawley on the box a few weeks back I thought they were poor.
Lets hope the refs decisions go our way for a change.

[Scott Brehaut]

I honestly think that Crawley are going to implode. Yeah, I know that they have lost that fat idiot (ok, pot, kettle and black spring to mind, I know!!), but they have also lost several first team players and are really looking short of players now....they have a bigger squad than us, I appreciate that, but I think they will struggle in the next couple of games. Lets hope that by the time their suspended first teamers come back in, that they will be a few points short of the autos.

Have to agree with this - especially the fantastic effort part. We look tired as a team and most have played many more minutes than those around us. You cannot question the spirit and effort but the worry is the tiredness and heavy legs will overtake this. We have a chance and should be very proud of that but would say Crawley and Shrewsbury have a bigger chance than us. Whatever happens it has been a fantastic season and leaves in a very strong position to start next year in - regardless of the league we are in.
