Have you ever seen a vagina in real life?

Only when he attended Buckle's first press conference

Whats the betting we'll get some reply about needing to move on and grow up?

I'd like to do some backtracking here. I did say Bristol Rovers will piss the league but with the two signings of Harrold & Virgo they are obviously looking for a year of consolidation rather than a promotion push.

Also, I feel a lot more confident with the prospect of Crawley coming to Plainmoor without Buckle as our manager. I expect Crawley will get 6 points off Bristol due to the fact Evans & Raynor having Buckle & North in their pockets.

I thought it was a brave prediction when you first made it but I am pleased that you now see that Bristol Rovers are a fairly mediocre bottom division club who could easily be bottom half of the table as they try to adjust having dropped so easily without a fight out of League 1.

Looking at the fixtures, these are the ones I'll be hoping to make. If I can get the time off work, I could be looking at 5 matches in August. I usually make 5 games all season!!

Doubt I would get in for the Plymouth home match, but going make sure I'm there for the away trip.

Come on now children. Isn't it time we all grew up and got on with our lives. after all there are more important things than hoofball. No? Oh well then :na: :na: :na: :na: :na:

They are very good fixtures, I'm pretty gutted I'm going to miss Crawley H (& D&G A) due to me going on holiday but can't complain!

Is there any chance we(Torquay) and Plymouth can go to the league and ask to swap the two games that we play against each other so we play them home once the new stand is built on safety grounds of course. (Sorry if already mentioned)

The Football League probably would allow the fixtures to be swapped but both games are scheduled to be played before the grandstand is due to be completed so no real advantage, and it would probably be better to be at Home Park with the larger capacity for the New Year Bank Holiday fixture.

i said at the time we first talked about next season fixture's that the football league would be unable to guarantee giving us derby matchs at home after Feb,we have to realise league 2 does not consist of 24 Torquay united's,when planing the fixtures the league have to factor in the considerations of every team in this league not just "us".

As for the fixtures happy to be home first,i surpose to be in Dorchester for the weekend of Bristol Rovers away,already trying to get out of it,so i can go ,and we are away for the saturday of my Brothers wedding..phew !!

Guess your brother isn't a Torquay fan then - fancy getting married during the football season!!

Afraid not ,he is forgiven though,and i did more than look at him sideways when he told me the date of his wedding,still got away with it,still it gets worse i have another brother who is an Argyle fan ,oh i just cant wait,how he will suffer

Gutted that we haven't got an away game near me until Bradford on 8th of October, although i will get to Shrewsbury and Northampton before that one. Hoping to get to the Macc home game on 3rd Sep as i'm on holiday in Dartmoor that week. I had expectations of getting to the Mem vs Brizzle Rovers as it will be a bit spicy but unsure if it will be all ticket. I've never been to Rovers so i don't know the capacity of their away end. Could someone perhaps enlighten me and maybe give me a hint if they think it will be all ticket for away fans or not. Cheers. Anyway continuing, Burton at home first game is pretty uninspiring but a perfect opportunity to get Ling and the boys off to a winning start. Accrington away 8 days before Christmas is like staring at the gates of hell, can you imagine how depressing that game will be beneath dark satanic lancashire skies on the run up to the festivities?!! I think i prefer Christmas!! ( Ba Humbug!). Looking forward to going Swindon and i always enjoy Macclesfield. It's been a bit of a nightmare for myself as well as other northern based gulls that we have had 2 southern teams come up from the conference and 2 northern teams replacing them, and also 4 southern teams coming down from league 1 but i'm sure we will try and get to as many games as poss to cheer on the mighty yellows!!

Their away end holds about 1,100 so I guess it's a very big possibility that it will be all ticket.
