Another flag not shown in that shot says something along the lines of 'More Flags Than Fans'. Which reminded me of a game a few seasons ago when Witham visited Longmead.... one fan, one flag... and he sang he bloody heart out! If (and I hope it's a very big 'IF") we capitulate and drop down yet another Division, some of the grounds/fans that we are going to meet along the way will be an eye-opener for some (Whitehawk's ground makes Plainmoor look like the Camp Nou!). Let's hope it doesn't happen!

I get your point Merse but it would take me a long time to accept Torquay at that level, it may be easier if you have moved away for a while and watched lower league football alongside following Torquay but it is hard not to see us as a fallen league club as thats what we are. In time I am sure it
would be an enjoyable experience as you say but the thought of Nat South or lower horrifies and depresses me, but....I think it is going to happen
I dont think this Torquay team has the guts, fight and character to get out of this, I hope they read this and are thinking "we'll show you you **shole"
Go on Torquay prove me wrong !
On another issue I see Iffy Allen has signed for Wrexham on a short term deal after leaving Aldershot at Christmas, he did well for us and could have replaced Fitzpatrick or couldnt GI afford his wages for a few months

It's obviously crude as a survey but these things have a habit of not being too far wrong. So by sheer negligence we are likely to lose a third of our crowd next year. Negligence yes negligence. By players ( there are more lower budgets than relegation spots) management so they are underperforming, KN - his fitness regime statistically produces the reverse in terms of times of conceding goals and still the guru is in the box with him every home game, and club 'management' - look at the deteriorating record since GI took over.
