Are you saying there's no far-right element amongst our Stone Island warriors then, oh Voice of Plainmoor?

Weird bit of political one-sidedness. Are you Donald Trump?

My minimal contact with our wannabe hoolie element suggests they've got more in common with the people Antifa groups are against.

Fans living outside of Torbay - where are you?

Exeter - The Regional Capital!

Lived here most of my life now. TUFC is the only thing that brings me back to the Bay. Don't really like the place TBH.

The decline is niegh

Maybe a little OTT and knee-jerk but I do think the OP has a point. United have always struggled to gee up the notoriously apathetic South Devon public, but a certain level of rot seems to have set in long-term, unrelated to what happens on the pitch.

Re: False rape/abuse accusations - Rolf Harris

Rolf Harris is 83 years old and would have been 50 and 56 years old at the times of the alleged offences. He has been happily married for 55 years. He met his wife, the Welsh sculptress and jeweller Alwen Hughes, while they were both art students, and they married on 1 March 1958. They have one dau...

I used a well-known British colloquialism to criticise UKIP as a party. You've made a clumsy attempt to twist that into a childish personal dig.

Very UKIP.

Re: Assaults on our Freedoms/EU Totalitarianism

Just heard Nigel Farage's speech at the UKIP conference. Just what this country needs. What, another public school educated former City trader who wants to kick the teeth out of anyone poorer than him and his multi-millionaire backers? We've already got enough of them ruling over us as it is. 'Spea...

Re: Torquay Fans Demographic Poll

oy, whats wrong with paignton then? :| Sorry, just not the town it was. My mum still lives there and when I walk from the station to her house all I see is closed shops and dodgy ratboys. There wasn't much work when Ieft in 1995 and I'd imagine there's even less now. It's still got some good aspect...

Re: Torquay Fans UK Origins

Croydon born, Paignton bred. Mum's family are originally Londoners, most of whom moved to South Devon in the 1940s and 50s. My mum followed them for a spell but moved back to London, married my Israeli dad, then joined the rest of the family in Torquay a year after I was born. We moved to Paignton i...

Re: Torquay United V Cheltenham

There have been a few notables who came from Cheltenham in past years. But Cheltenham is not so famous for producing footballers. Much better in the Arts and media though.

Re: Rochdale v Torquay United - 14/9/13

Warmest regards, A knee-jerk halfwit. Not sure why you took my post so personally. What I had in mind were the likes of a long-term poster who made the ludicrous claim that Roy McFarland was the worst Torquay manager he'd ever seen as results suffered whilst he assembled the core of the team that g...

I suspect he is holding on to his plan A. Something has to change soon, either it'll work or changes will be made. I quite agree. It's quite possible that Knill is testing all manner of positions, players, players' attiude and tactics at the start of the season where it will all be forgotten in a f...
