Torquay United Fans Forum

First chance to see them play this season. Very pleasantly surprised. Looking very solid.

Stuck over here on the other side of the world I'm starting to think the only thing more frustrating than not being able to see Torquay play would be being able to see Torquay play.

Hey, finally something club-related I can participate in from way over here in America. And I was actually planning on buying a shirt next year too so this is a choice of critical importance. I'm inclined to go E. But I'm willing to be bribed.

I'll now go read today's matchday thread and bang my head against the wall.

Or 5 just in New York after your miss read email lastnight.

From New Jersey which is kinda sorta almost New York right?

Hey all, a Torquay fan from America here for whom this board has been my only real connection to the club for years. Reading the matchday threads is how I follow the club. Well that and that newfangled Twitter thing. Anyhow I never bothered to sign up for the forum since seeing as I don't ever get to actually see any games I really have nothing to add to the conversation. Well, I get to see the playoff games every year but those are so heartbreaking who'd want to post about them? But I just had to sign on after that game yesterday. Wow! I'm a Manchester United fan (I know, I know you hate me already) so I was watching their game. At least until Torquay pulled within a goal. At that point I ignored the TV and was just frantically refreshing this site for updates. As ever, you guys were awesome. Reading these matchday threads, going through all the ups and downs game after game, has been an awesome experience for years but never more then yesterday. So thanks for helping to keep a fan stuck on the wrong side of the planet in the loop. I'll probably never post again because honestly what would I have to say? But I'll be following along every game, living and dying and frantically hitting the refresh button. And as ever I will lead TUFC to glory in FIFA 13. I'll have us in the Premier League in no time flat! Cheers!

(Is "Cheers!" something an English person would actually say? Hey, I'm trying here.)
