One of those games where the team did not turn up .. would have struggled to pick a mom out of them

They were not much better either ...

Weather was nice ...

That about sums it up for me too. It comes to something when a very embarrassed / frustrated looking Chairman (fair play to him) comes over to us to apologise for the awful playing of the team. They can play so much better.

To be fair, reading that the team travelled down this morning I kind of expected this result. I'm guessing if we had of needed the points the board would have sanctioned an overnight stay. To be expected given our restrictions and makes sense to save money for the Summer.

If I remember rightly the club did a few overnight stays last time up and sacked them off because results didn't improve we won at welling looking at Torquay at are place and seeing welling that was a harder game

84 away fans was the offical number put up on their score board.To be honest if Stu had not got injured and had to go off,i dont think their first would have happened.Stu is a lot more vocal than Dave and would have given luca hell to get rid off the ball.

Felt like we'd gone back to 2010/11 yesterday. Wasn't 4 4 1 1 it was 4 5 1 with an isolated Reeves.

Hope that this is just us winding down the season..

From what iv seen he can't tackle he is not calm on the ball but  best assert  although not great is he can put a cross in so out wide is maybe best position

Considering they are lower than part time little Alty in a league not such an embarrassment. Has all the millions the lottery woman chairwoman put in the club been eaten by Briscoe? I'd be more embarrassed about that to be honest rather than shout about another club.

Silly tw*t that posted that. Torquay are hardly well known for reaching the pinnacles of football. I used to work with a Gulls fan at Merton Council who once went away to Hartlepool as he was attending a wedding in Co Durham. He was the only away fan and was given his own personal steward, Leigh RMI style.
Despite the costs involved however a return journey of what must be at least 550 miles in a day is not good, I can't see a decent display being likely after players getting up at say before 5am in some cases then sitting on a coach for 6 hours. The splendid Torquay United Fc would of course have flown up from Exeter airport and put the team up in a decent airport hotel no doubt. Even if they are as skint as a busload of tramps.
