Everything is great and since people aren't allowed a nag, complaint or negative opinion on anything such as player performances or what people think of the club in general then we may as well shut down the forum page lads and lasses!! Yes a lot of my posts have been my opinion on different things. They probably will be different to many other fans perspectives on things too. Thats why we've got the forum you moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at the thread started by cambgull about SAVING EVERY PENNY..... Thats negative so go and slag him off!! You will end up slagging off every member at some point because we're all negative at some point.

I agree with you that everyone has their opinions, positive and negative, and that is why we have a forum. Never said any different. Just think that some people need to understand the type of club we are!

And yes, that thread started by cambgull was negative, but at the same time it was a valid point, most of your posts seem that you are finding anything negative that you possibly can...

Firstly let me apologise by calling you a moron. I just don't take kindly to people having a go. Its probably because i have spent most of my life in Yorkshire! That said it was still over the top and i apologise. Secondly, i am aware of the machinations of a club like ours and i just find that a lot of the time there is massive room for improvement. For example, ticket sales efficiency for many 'big' games have been atrocious and let the fans down, the kit release situation has been laughable, not even a photo for people to look at, the Buckle situation where we know he is probably going to try and sign a few of our better players. Need i go on? I don't enjoy moaning but when myself and other fans of the club are treated with such indifference by the club i just find it galling and i feel strongly about such things and want to let people know that we don't always have to accept some of the crap that we have to put up with by the club. Yes we are a small club but in that sense it should be easier to sort out the most basic of issues which isn't happening. Why are we fans always at a disadvantage? The club cannot run itself properly and always loses out and it is not on. I do post positive remarks like praising the players, fans and manager now again as i see fit but it something pisses me off then i'll let people know. Just like you did to me. Thirdly, i will actually thank you for inadvertantly improving my social attitude by highlighting the point that many of my posts were negative. This hasn't come as a surprise to me but has made me realise that i should try and calm down a bit and live life a bit more and look on the bright side. I am positive about the new season regardless of who comes in as manager and will continue to support the gulls regardless.

Fair enough, no need to apologise either. Agree with you on a lot of your points and while I do find that the club can seem unproffesional in many ways, I guess after supporting them for numerous years you come to accept it not that we should have to, but it just seems the Torquay way!

As long as we're all supporting the club then there's no problem, we're all in the same boat here and everyone needs to pull together

Lets just hope we have A FIRST TEAM to play, by August, let alone a kit!!

suspect this may have already been discussed somewhere before but is there any news on when our new home kit is released? or even what it looks like?
cheers

Sometime in February if your lucky.

Went do to get my season tickets Monday,asked the lad in the office..those who tried to buy tickets over the phone recently will know who i mean,he gave me a sarcastic grin and said,i dunno maybe the end of July,so take it might arrive any time between now and the first game of the season.

I don't think you would have to go back too far to find a thread on the new kit.
