Staying Up - Relegation Battle
Some teams have been at or near the bottom of the league all season, others have gradually drifted towards the bottom whereas we, from a position of relative safety have been unceremoniously dumped into a relegation battle by someone who the players don't know and possibly may never even have met. Their mindset wasn't focussed on relegation and that could be the problem. 2 games to go and all we can do is get behind the team and hope.

Truro v Torquay to be played at Meadow Park, Gloucester
There is a documentary on the internet called Gate Money which details what the National League did with the lottery grant given to the league to help clubs through the pandemic when supporters were not allowed to attend matches. It is well worth an hour of your time.

Injuries.
It is good to read some sensible well thought out views on our current injury situation.
Most mornings and late at night, I listen to the sports updates on Radio 5 and over the last few weeks I have become increasingly aware of PL managers referring to the amount of injuries restricting their team selections and causing an imbalance in their squads, the latest being Manchester United. If these teams with their enormous resources are struggling, then we are not alone.

Club Statement - 08/11/2023
After more than 50 years of working for various companies usually directly with the owners, I came to realise that they are mostly interested in only one opinion, their own. I overheard one owner say "It's my f*****g company and I will do what I want". If that is the mindset of CO, I fear for the future.

Will we stay up?
The NL table on the BBC is incorrect. A set of results are missing and it isn't today's games.

You certainly had an exciting introduction to Plainmoor. It was my 2nd season having started regular attendance in September 1962 with a game against Barrow. As a juvenile/schoolboy I paid 9d to get in, about 4p today for those who don't qualify as Old Farts.desperado wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 13:29 Incredibly that game was my first ever match and my Dad only took me in for the last 20 minutes at the Babbacombe End when the gates opened .
What an introduction to Torquay United and I was hooked from moment.
Refresh my memory TerryTorq , I recall the first goal I saw being a penalty to Newport at the far (Ellacombe) end but can't remember what that made the score, I thought 3-1 but maybe wrong, but to see 8 goals in 20 minutes was unbelievable.
All downhill since !
I think the Newport score was 2-1 at half time and I can vaguely remember the score being 3-1 and then 4-2 but not the order in which the goals were scored although Newport were always behind. Somewhere in amongst the turmoil Newport scored a third and I believe one of their second half goals was a penalty.
Strangely enough I can still remember the weather. It was an damp overcast afternoon and with rain threatening I thought being under cover in the Cowshed I had made the right choice especially as the Babbacombe End was open terrace with no cover. How wrong can you be.

Both Ernie Pym and Tommy Northcott played against Newport County in 1963. In addition to the 5 scored by Robin Stubbs, Tommy Northcott scored 1 and Reg Jenkins the other 2. I was under the Cowshed where I had a good view of our first 2 goals but cursed my luck when the other 6 went in at the Babbacombe End.eddie6817 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 06:22 No l don't remember his name either but l believe Ernie Pym and the Northcott bros were playing for us in that game although l could be wrong and they came along later. Was it Mickey Cave probably not as he was playing alongside Stubbs in our big promotion push to the old Division 2 in the late 60s. Will never forget beating Bury 3-0 and we were the Match of the Day that Saturday evening 7-8 thousand crowds at Plainmoor in those days we got them all in heaven knows how. Great match days back then whatever happened to our club when you look back.
