Buckle could be a mistake

I'll bet in pounds the amount of points Torquay United get this season!

hi matt 2 clear divisions

Since when was it 2 clear divisions?

I thought I stated that the bet was Rovers would be 2 levels above Torquay. I.e Rovers in The Championship and Torquay still in League 2.

Like I said even I would be foolish to bet on it being 2 clear divisions.

I'm really hoping Buckle will be a complete failure at Rovers. He is a very arrogant man and I'm looking forward to shouting abuse at him when he comes back to the hell pit.

when he comes back to the hell pit.

The "hell pit"?.....err right.

We're Torquay not Galatasery

What you and Torquay's 10 other fans?

I bet he's sh*tting himself!!!!

It was meant as a bit of light hearted banter. I dont mean it!!!!!!

Not a bad bet for someone considering Bristol Rovers haven't been in the 2nd tier since 1993 and for the last 10 years have flirted between the two bottom divisions, threatening the playoffs in League 1 (or Nationwide 2 at the time) just the once when they blew a massive lead and went from top to 7th.

The only chance they have of being 2 divisions above Torquay is if Torquay get relegated to BSP.

Just to let you know how the press conference went this morning.

Due to be completed before the 2013/14 season.

Don't see any mention of the "mega-rich" investor you've been talking about?

Still sharing with the rugby club and, by the sounds of it, the university teams as well. Look forward to a pitch of Accrington style quality!

About time, The Mem is a hole! I'd say it's worse than ours! Just bigger!

Better than ours? leave it out.

Torquays ground is one of the few we can hold bragging rights over

[Plymouth Gull]

how is it? Because it's bigger?

You have one stand that would look in place at somewhere like Weymouth! (Uplands Stand). We'll compare that to our Grandstand. Even though ours is dogpoo, it's better than that! Plus we should hopefully be getting a new one next year so fingers crossed.

The DAS Stand; the main bit looks alright, but it looks like it should be at a cricket ground! Then it has two little stands on each side of it. Compared to our Family Stand, again, I think ours is probably better. A whole stand the same size for a start!

The South Stand; a temporary stand for away fans, is it not? Compared to our away end, it's pretty poor. Not saying our away end is amazing, but it's a terrace and it can cope with demand 9 times out of 10, with no real problems.

Finally, the Blackthorn End. I guess this would be more like the Popside. Yours probably bigger, but it's older, has supporting poles running down the front, blocking views etc.

Obviously you're opinion will differ, but at the moment the Memorial Ground is shocking.

Nice Plans for the stadium, looks like it's a supermarket in a retail park tho. Who helped designed the front of it, TK MAXX?

All jokes inside one of my mates is a big Bristol City fan & I seem to remember they had a stadium in place, only for the council to refuse...? Not too sure on the facts but he wasn't happy.

tight arse !!!

[Boom Boom]

I agree Nick, it's a right pick'n'mix of a ground, like 5 stadiums in 1 with all the different stands going on & it still manages to be shit.
