Our defence is poor, midfield ineffective and up front not getting the proper service. I am going for 3-0 nil defeat but hopefully they will prove me wrong as i am a mechanic not a football manager.

Three straight wins-4-0,2-1,4-2-we really are terrible!
Yes-we might lose because we are playing an in-form team away but that would not be the end of the world.
Prediction 2-2.

Hi All,

Please can we get back to some football chat.
This is like being lectured by Angelina Jolie about the state of the world-however, she has just issued a statement declaring that Torquay United are her bet to win the National league south championship.

Well I am new to all of this and this thread about Cyril Knowles set off a bad bout of nostalgia.

So -earliest Torquay memory was catching the football special from Paignton bus station-sometimes there were 3 buses!
Fist big game memory was the Spurs game (Jan 1965).To get tickets we had to attend the reserve team game against Bideford-just remember a huge queue and no one watching the game. I have a copy of the Spurs game programme and its in excellent condition. The game itself was a problem for me as I supported Torquay and Spurs-I wore both rosettes on the day. For some reason we had a lift to the game and had to park at the model village. Watched the game from the Babbacombe Road end and was pushed to the front by some kind people in the crowd. Huge crowd -electrifying atmosphere and we all know the score.

I had been to Plainmoor a number of times but this was the first game my dad had seen. When you support a club over a long period of time it is not just football memories but fond memories of who you went with, many no longer with us.
