Torquay United Fans Forum

Gloster, my comments on Andys threads and, indeed, my lack of effort at making a match day thread should not deter you or anyone else from having a go. I was merely stating that his threads, and many of his posts, weren't my cup of tea.

The beauty of a match day thread is that it goes on to be 14odd pages in length and you don't have to read the OP if you don't want to.

I do write about Torquay but not in English, if you want the updates I give to Russian Gulls or the Jaen Gulls I could send them to you but I doubt your language skills are up to it :~D. Enjoyed Scotts effort and was grateful to all who posted on the Gateshead thread as I couldn't get Gulls Player to work. Not long til the gulls start coming to my nwck of the woods and I will be there cheering the lads and Chris on.

Thanks Scott.

No - this is the forum. The main site is where you will find links to stories re TUFC etc.
The forum is, however, the most used part of the site.

No - we have a matchday preview on the main site (the one Danny has linked to), and the matchday thread on the forum, here: http://forum.torquayfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7459

Thanks Taxilady for the explanation of why Austrian Andy is absent from the site.

Not to worry, he'll be back next year after York are relegated and we are gloriously promoted back to the dizzy heights of league 2 as Conference Champions.

As for a match preview, Scott has created a match day thread and I have created my own on the main site.

Andy got extremely upset about the events of last season; he thought that the directors should have publicly apologised to fans. He then considered that the Club should have reduced ticket prices for this season as some form of compensation. He got so upset about everything that he thought that he could no longer love Torquay United; he sold all his Torquay belongings (programmes, kit etc ) on e-bay, I believe. He said that he would be returning to support a previous club in his affections, & much nearer home; I think that it is York City. I've tried to remember this in the correct order & honestly, but it was all so emotional at the time that I apologise if I have misrepresented the situation in any way.

Sorry if I missed something here, it's probably been covered on the forum before and I've missed it but can somebody please tell me why Andy wont be doing his pre match stuff on here any more. Thankyou.

well i have been put off. Some of you sat back and critisised his reviews yet didnt offer anything yourselves. You know who you are. So why should I take up the mantle.
If all you want to do is moan at someone who was willing to make an effort then you will have no reviews. simples

I will miss Andy's matchday threads; they didn't always make much sense, but they were usually very funny. Fans from other clubs also used to read them, apparently. I wonder if he's doing the same now on his 'new' club's forum ? I think the forum is poorer for his absence; it's certainly quieter ! Let's hope more people do start to contribute. COYYs !!!!!

Ha I know, my preview wouldn't be interesting! .. A possible team selection and the names of a few pubs I'll be visiting in Newcastle and Gateshead .. That's it

I loved Andy's previews over the last couple of years, its a shame we cant have them for this season.
