Frankie O'Farell

[tauntongull]

I like many other fans am appalled by our clubs poor organisation with the ticketing for today's game. We must do better and the club must take responsibility for their part in this fiasco. There appears to be no accountability on behalf of the club, police or stewards. The club made a statement that if BR fans were Identiied in the home areas this should be pointed out to the stewards who would eject them. Now, when a BR fans sits in the family stand and wears his clubs scalf - surely this is obvious. Today could really have fur ed nasty if BR had won and we were relegated.. I would like the club to investigate and respond to today's events. I wonder if the motive was simply an attempt to gain as much revenue from the game today as possible

More disturbing for me and another example of poor judgment t related to Torquay legend Frankie O'Farrell. Apparently I was advised that he was told that he did not have his usual seat in the directors box and passed our friends on leaving the ground.

Why do BR have more of a right than this elderly gentleman who did so much for the club? I think again the club.should explain themselves.

It's a pity that activities off the pitch were not on a par with those on the pitch today.

Sorry TUFC you got it wrong today!

The ground was NOT sold out. There were gaps on Bristow's Bench and the Family Stand. As I stand with the senile delinquents on the pop. side (half way line) I couldn't say whether or not the pop. side was sold out, but there were areas where more could easily have fitted in. Also the gate was (we are told) 5,666. How can the ground be sold out when the capacity is 6100+?

Sorry, this should be in the 'Sold Out' section.

I was in the Bench with my grandaughter Section E Row I and 5 seats in front of me Row H were empty.
A family behind us were clearlyRovers fansbut were very quiet and no trouble.
The club have a major problem selling tickets over the phone. If you give a Torquay Post Code you get your tickets!
So it is very easy for away fans to purchase tickets and collect them from the Club reception.
I cannot believe Frank O' Farrell,a true gentleman, could not be seated in the Bench.

If thats true re Frank O'Farell then the situation should be addressed and rectified ASAP that is truely not acceptable

A true gent and a great servant to the club should never treated this way, ever.

I did wonder why Frank looked so dismayed.

If this is true, I am totally disgusted. Somebody better get down to Frank's flat and apologize. Frank is always happy to talk and on many occasions has spent time talking to my two lads about there football and how they are getting on etc etc in the family stand. He is an absolute legend and i think we are lucky to have somebody like this at our home games who you can see loves are club. What an embarrassment!
