Sorry Paul, shan't see you on Tuesday - triple booked and had to come down on the side of theatre tickets booked months ago by my wife! So see you for the Derby game.

Nice to meet you ModGull and thanks for your kind comments !!

I have been selling 50/50s since it started in about 1994 !
I used to volunteer to work in the programme shop under the old grandstand in the late 1970s and used to sell Torquay Utd lottery tickets door to door in the 1980's. I tried to get my customers to come to Plainmoor ....but that was a hard sell !!!

I used to have a few elderly customers on my round and I used to feel like someone from social services as they always wanted to have a chat !!
I used to love doing my round but the introduction of the National Lottery sadly put an end to that. I am just so disappointed that the club does not have a proper commercial department. Just having a match day sponsor and player sponsors is not enough !!! They should be doing so much more !

Please anyone reading this make yourself known if you buy 50/50s off me !

See if you agree with my dream team /squad on the link below as well !

Hope to see you next Tuesday to go through the agony again !!!

My first game was against Bristol Rovers in 1971 when I was 10 !

Here is my dream time but after writing it I could not believe that I inadvertently left out Eunan O'Kane who gave me probably the highlight of my Gulls supporting career by scoring those two goals against the Green garbage and after waiting forty years to beat them in a league game !!

No real excuses for that apart from I had fifty years of players / games to go through and so many players to choose from !!

If you enter the ground by the Family Stand / Bristows Bench you can see me selling 50/50 tickets at each game !!

Take care !!
Hi Dutchgull,

So it's you who sells me my 50/50 tickets! I am the guy who always asks for two non-consecutive tickets from you! It is poor that you have had your shelter removed from you but thanks for what you do for the club.

Good for you selling the 50/50 tickets and thanks for your information.
We are of a simaler age, I had family in Devon and holidays in Shaldon as we lived in Berkshire.......my father would take me to Plainmoor
when we were on our holidays. I moved here 10 years ago, so have not suffered your 50 years. I am a season ticket holder and passionate about
us......despite this seasons frustrations. I attend a number of aways and I enjoy them.

Keep up the good work and take care buddy

I will Google them to see if they are even there , Bruce Rioch surely but the rest could be interesting !!
well done Dutchgull, 50 years you deserve a medal buddy.....my comment was also aimed at the new brigade here that would never have heard
of the players I mentioned. Some real quality listed :scarf:

No mention of Ken Sandercock or Lew Chatterley but Phil got one line ! Mike Mahoney, Clint Boulton and Bruce Stuckey had a couple of lines but obviously Bruce Rioch has a good write up !!

Poor performances all season, 'hey let's put the prices up for the cup'.
I agree, this is a poor move in the current climate. Added to the stupidity of not paying on the gate, but only bring able to pay cash for food.
A potential 4-5000 gate is now a somewhat distant dream.
No reward for those that go/suffer every game. Today's attendance may show how the support is for us at the moment 1,800 or more and I'd be happy.

No, I'm just a loyal supporter.... :)
The club are trying to maximise the game - people on here moan that they dont do it most of the time FFS.
The club can't win.

We collected win money from the Hampton game, have an unexpected bonus in tele money then they get greedy with the ticket prices,that would have cost me with travelling a pie and a pint over £90 for the three of us.
Everyone is cutting back at the moment, and what would have been a possible 5000 crowd will now be nearer to 3500 even with travelling supporters, if my sums are anywhere near correct they have lost not only ticket sales, drinks and food monies but also annoyed a lot of supporters.
So regretably it will be the tele for me and mine.
