over the years we do seem to have gained a reputation amongst our own for fading away at the final hurdle, and not rising to the big occasion, witness colchester when we got relegated, crawley in the fa cup, exeter play off semi 2nd leg, the fa trophy final, stevenage at OT last year. wether this is justified or not i'm not sure. my dad, 72 bless him, says its typical torquay and that we always threw things away when he was a regular in the 60s. he no longr goes but remains under the impression that we will continually wobble at the very wrong times.
on the plus side we've done the barnet, crewe, won a play off penalty shoot out at wembley, beat southend to win promotion and of course the cambridge game that got us back into the league again
on the balance i would say we possibly get let down more often than not?? but thats why we're all torquay fans at the end of the day, we're always involved in something or other!!
