Torquay United Fans Forum

I really should have been an Exeter supporter as my dad used to play for them ,as well as a few other teams in the football league, but as I mentioned before, after our head teacher took a few of us for a treat back in 1979 I really got the bug under the Saturday night lights at plainmoor , bring back the sat night games , better atmosphere all around I think.

3rd Feb 1979 v Reading 1-1 draw I recall , I think it was a last minute equalizer from us I can't remember who scored for us but my god it was exciting, 4 of us were treated by our old headmaster from Shaldon primary school ( Peter Vear ) & I'm the only one who got the bug.

Thanks guys for some of your support , made me realise I can post a topic, like I said in my last reply MAYBE I GOT THE TITLE WRONG , I NEVER ONCE MENTIONED IN ANYWAY I WAS DRUMMING UP SUPPORT FOR A BOYCOTT I WAS JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE THAT AFTER SUPPORTING TUFC SINCE 1980 THROUGH THICK & THIN, I ENJOYED MY TIME AT BY BUCKLAND & WOULD BE ATTENDING REGULARLY FROM NOW ON.
WHERE DO YOU GET THE NOTION THAT I THINK THE CLUB WILL MISS ME AS AN INDIVIDUAL ?
I AM REFUSING TO HAND OVER MY MONEY TO SOME ORGANISATION THAT IS MAKING ME MISERABLE ON A REGULAR BASIS UNTIL I SEE FIT IT IS RIGHT TO DO SO IN MY OPINION .

Who the hell said I was leading a boycott or am trying to drum up a boycott ? all I expressed was my decision to boycott the game yesterday & because I wish to keep my football supporting local I decided to pitch up at Buckland Athletic whilst the wife went shopping in newton & it was an enjoyable experience for us both .
Ok I may have chosen the wrong title for the topic but honestly Mr Merse you are far too aggressive in your opinion's, other people are entitled to their posts, if you disagree , fair enough, please keep your personal derogatory spite filled comments to yourself. Or is it because I'm new to this forum thing & you feel you can ride rough shod over me ? Just asking ?

Good god, I've been registered on this forum for less than half a day, and I'm already a 'prima Donna' in this chap Merse's eyes , hells bells , I aint got a problem with debate or anything but because I've expressed my wish to disassociate myself from a club that's not only dying from an internal cancer and syphons off cash from its supporters entrance fees and invests just to keep it ticking over until the council wants to dispose of the site & most of all it's making me effing miserable & apparently awful to live with at weekends !, I can take supporting a losing side ,Christ, we've done enough of that over the recent past. But Prima Donna ? As they say sticks & stones .......

Cows arses & banjos come to mind, over 35 years of watching Torquay even Dean Mooney, Benny Laryea, Mario Walsh etc were an improvement on this shower, absolutely shocking totally inept from top to bottom

I just cannot feed my well earned cash into Osbourne's pocket any more, nothing makes me sicker than watching my be!oved club go down the pan.

The first time in a very long time yesterday, I abandoned plainmoor & pitched up at Buckland athletic to watch a very entertaining fa vase game (1-2) v Bradford town, from now on my allegiance is with Buckland I'm afraid , well, until something positive happens at plainmoor e.g. CO & co sod off.
