Torquay United Fans Forum

Was tempted to go to this but It's not worth paying to watch Torquay currently in all honesty, credit to anyone that does it but two games at Telford and FGR in quick succession absolutely killed of my enthusiasm. I will find some dodgy internet site for the game tonight and just hope the thought of a big game against the best side in the league on a good pitch will invigorate our players. If they can't get up for tonight then they are a joke to their profession in all honesty. We might get beat because they are better than us but as long we don't put in an Alfreton style performance I'll accept that.

Tried my best to see if an affordable ticket was available to go up for this match but to no avail. Why can't the rail companies give me a price for a cheap day return on the train from Bristol, all i can get is something about a super saver return.
Anyway short of a lift there i am thinking of seeing it on TV. But does BT sport show at pubs with screen for sky or not. I can't think otherwise where I can go.

I find most pubs who have Sky Sports usually end up having BT Sport too, but it is a separate subscription so there's no guarantee.

Capital Gulls - there's a name-blast from the past, I thought they had all 'passed away'!!

Alan Merson, Andy Crook, Andy Charles, Paul Butler, Peter Hicks and others!

Well done to any Torquay fans who are attending tonight's game. Hopefully the "capital Gulls" will be there to make some noise and our lads put in a good performance that brings back some belief. Think we need to get a bit more physical. Shame that Gus is injured, but it will give Krystian a chance to impress again. I guess Durrell will start and he will be eager to impress too. Come on Torquay........

Berry definitely in tonight as Tonge injured.MacDonald out and the earlier statements about quick recovery might be misplaced as he's suffered a reaction to his knee injury.Pearce will come in but no change at left back as Ives has back injury.Odofin called into squad.Barnet have two out suspended.
"New" defence will face a big test tonight against their front two of Macdonald and Akinde.

i assume you mean this link, not the one at the top and durrel b, another bizarre name to add to our long list of "modern" boys names, his mum a fan of my family and other animals i assume??

Wins breed confidence (stating the bleeding obvious) and we are currently short of bucket loads of both.
A win against top of the league would bring shedloads and just may be the spring board we all need.

Goes against the grain and I hate it but we have to play the ref as the ref has been played against us. I hate teams that do it but we are in desperate times now and it's just one of the aspects that like or hate it it is now part of the game. Teams that play this underhand way are sadly teams that will do anything for a win, I am now questioning why TQY and CH aren't one of those teams that seemingly aren't doing "anything for a win"

Barnet had two players sent off today so hopefully they will be suspended for Tuesday.

Hmm. Untill we let one in. Then the atmospehere was probably like a morgue

No. Replays are later once you get to first round proper, so no clash.

Thanks
