still makes me chuckle having categories at little old torquay!!

theres a meeting this week to decide which games have the extra £ added to the entrance fee!! a maximum of 8 matches apparently!! that'll take em all of five mins to decide!

Other clubs in this division do the same, however £19 to sit in the Family Stand is a lot of money, especially for League 2 football I think. I think the club should do special deals to bring more people back into Plainmoor, maybe have a yellow day where everyone in yellow enters at one fixed price or have a family special (two adult tickets and two children tickets for £40).

They definately need to be more imaginative with the pricing strategy, mainly in respect to group discounts. Do you think when they demolish the grandstand that there might be few months when we'll be able to watch for free from the pathway?!

When I win the next $300 million Powerball jackpot (it's a dead cert, I have a system ) I shall by all 6000 tickets for one game and make it free for all!

You heard it here first.

Note to self: should think about buying Powerball ticket.

you still wouldnt get more than 3,500 home fans in!!

If that happens my next my purchase would be a small thermonuclear device to wipe out Paignton. That'll learn 'em, apathetic gits.

If you win $300 million (I'm guessing that's about £250 at the current exchange rate), maybe you could buy the club instead?

Slightly misleading - that $300m figure is assuming you let them invest it. Cash upfront payment would be about half that, and then they make you pay tax (about 35%) so I'd be looking at *only* $100m or so, which works out about £65M in real money.

I mean, I could. But I don't want any of you people to hate me. Any more than you already do, at least

Plus I'd have massive swimming pool to fill, and those playboy models won't get there by themselves.

I see from the OS that we now have confirmation of the Cat "A" games and whilst it's no surprise to see the likes of the Plymouth, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Oxford and Bradford games categorised in this way ... I am a little surprised that the like of Port Vale, Crewe and Crawley (!!!) have been deemed as such!

Crewe? CREWE? Seriously?

guess its because its towards the end of the season and they're expected to be challenging for promotion?

Crawley?? they should pay US to come and catcall that fat b&stard, his sh)thead sidekick and bunch of cheating mercenaries.

Actually, I can see Crawley being a real aggro match.

Because they're a bunch of wankers.

Chippygull, Happytorq, just let it go. You can't spend all your waking hours being eaten up inside by hatred for Crawley and their fat **** of a cheating **** manager! We all know that they are a load of crooks! However, in my opinion to even have categories of games, ie certain games that cost more than others IN LEAGUE 2 is nothing short of a disgrace. At this level all games should be a uniform price end of. Robbing twats. I'm talking about Torquay now and not Crawley!

Gotta disagree, slightly there, Andy. Clearly the reason they've done it is because in the category A games, there needs to be more policing, security, etc. Especially when Plymouth, Swindon and Oxford come to town.

I'm certain those 3 will sell out, and with our reduced capacity, tickets for them (Plymouth especially) will be snapped up quickly.
