Manchester City fan here...

As a Torquay fan, we get excited when we spend £10,000, and we deem ourselves lucky to be able to spend that when we can, so to watch premier league football clubs throw around £30 million on mediocre players who fall to the floor from the slightest contact, or in some cases none whatsoever, it is a...

Best goalkeeper in history?

Neuer is streets ahead of the competition, he really has it all, has been impressive for a number of years now. I would have to agree with our learned friend though that its all because of Schmeichel's influence. You look at how Neuer imposes himself, how big he makes himself, how brave he is to 'go...

Torquay United v Rochdale 11/03/14

Haven't posted in a while: been keen to maintain a level of ambivalence having accepted our fate after the Accrington game. I have watched the last few matches trying to be as detached as possible, not getting my hopes up, not feeling suicidal, trying to remain insouciant so that our situation doesn...

Get a grip

Appreciate and respect your sentiment; indeed last week I was the single lone voice arguing against the tide of despondency. Today's apathy and general damning criticism is not borne out of a direct circumstance of just losing to Accrington, its a build up of years of our club not learning its lesso...

Accrington Match day thread

Glad you enjoyed the day out mate, I am afraid that performances like today have become par for the course, that may explain why so many fans resemble statues - I certainly won't moan at our fans for that. Over on the pop things weren't much better, just general apathy really, I think most have acce...

Who still has faith?

Nope, faith gone. Already mentally preparing myself for the nauseating trips to Alfreton, Gateshead, Braintree and the like. We are in freefall, there is simply too much wrong and too much damage to fix, I defy anyone in attendance today to give me evidence on the contrary.

Accrington Match day thread

Everyone knows that i'm generally very positive about all things TUFC, I am relentlessly (hopelessly) optimistic, even after the Chesterfield match I was bleating like a nutjob for everyone to keep the faith, but today that veneer was worn down, all semblance of positivity seeping out of me like pis...

Season Cup Ticket.

Is that just tickets for Plainmoor? or would that include a third round league cup tie at the Emirates which would normally cost £400? Too much of a gamble I would suggest. Conceivably we could get the same crap away draw (Crawley/Cheltenham/Swindon) in both the League cup and Paint pot trophy and t...

How much would you pay for a season ticket?

What's not to like about that, a bargain. Hope the pitch goes well, and if you're nervous then just picture them all in their underwear.

How much would you pay for a season ticket?

I would definitely enter, sounds like a great idea to me. Money isn't an issue if it is going directly to the club. I think that £10 is a good amount that everyone could/would/should contribute for a chance to win a season ticket and maybe a bit more, if I don't win I would be satisfied that my mone...

TorquayFans.com Q&A: Alex Russell

1. At the Southend game, how aware were the players of what was happening in the Cheltenham/Huddersfield game, and what were the last few minutes like knowing that if we held onto the lead we would be up? 2. Do you still have the match-ball from your hat-trick at Darlington? 3. You were a really rel...

Friendliest beaches in Torquay / Babb Cliff Railway

If you're at Shaldon I would recommend the beach there. Just up from the pub 'The Ness' you will find some public toilets, and next to those is a long tunnel through the cliff onto a large sandy beach. Quite a nice way to spend an hour.

Craig and Yeoman to Dorchester

My apologies, I did not mean to mock or put your club down, or compare to Bideford in truth. Clumsily worded on my part- I just think Conference South is still too low for players of their calibre. Still, so it is, I hope they both do well for you and best of luck for the rest of the season.
