So other than pay us to come and watch Torquay, which judging by the fare they offered so far this season might not be such a bad idea the club is going to have to come up with some very clever marketing or else tuesdays 750 will become the norm.
So in the future at a very fair price of 9-50 I can watch the match in comfort and warmth, have a takeaway delivered plus beer at less than the £34 I paid for our tickets and thats not including half a tank I fuel I use with every visit, it is a no brainer.

Ideally I'd like to see a back four of Donnellan Ellis Moxey Wyatt
Lapslie and Evans flanked by De Silva and Warne with Goodwin and Jarvis up front.

culmstockgull wrote: 23 Dec 2022, 15:23 I agree that Moxey and ellis lack pace but their reading of the game cannot be under estimated, it seems that johnson would gladly send on the physio before Omar and marshall is just a loose cannon ,neither of which are NL standard, you cannot reasonably expect de silva and wearne to run backwards and forwards for 90 minutes twice a week protecting the fullbacks and creating the width in attack ,thats how you get injuries, something which we know so much about, I notice that Ellis has suggested he is open to a permanent move if something can be worked out, if we do not go down that route then you still need to find an experienced centre back who has pace and they are not in our budget,add into the mix de silva loan is up at the end of december.
