That's 6 points we've dropped in the last few minutes of games in recent weeks.
Southend home
Cheltenham away
Northampton away
These dropped points will come back to haunt us I'm afraid.

Bristol Rovers sack Penny
Buckles name isn't as prominent this time around surprisingly.
They've given a caretaker role to Stuart Campbell until the end of the season and then depending on how he does and what division they're in, the summer might prove interesting.

Re: Cheltenham Vs The Gulls!
I'm working in Stafford on Tuesday and will be knocking off early so I can get down to CHeltenham nice and early. Should be a good crowd for this one, so hopefully we can get three points and march on up the table.

Re: Gaffer Gone Quiet ??
Looks like Brentford might be looking for a bigger name.

I bet Buckle's regretting his tactical decisions now!

Re: Televised FAC 4th Round Games
I'm not saying that we should be forced a diet of watching the Big 4 all the time. What I am saying is that there are better ties to appeal to the armchair viewer than our game.
Stevenage v Reading
West Ham v Notts Forest
Notts County v Leicester or Man City
I think whoever wins our game will get a live TV appearance in the 5th round.................unless the opponents are Burton or Stevenage

Re: Televised FAC 4th Round Games
Realistically, does anybody truly believe that Torquay United v Crawley Town would be a crowd puller?
On the day we won't fill the ground so how many people around the UK do you think would switch on to watch it live? How many of us would tune in to watch Lincoln City play Stafford Rangers live on the telly?
The TV bosses are waiting for 5th round when the winners have a greater chance of a plum draw and then I suspect it will be shown live.

Re: When was your first Torquay game?
My first game was in 82 or 83 for Ian Twitchens testimonial against Aston Villa. Villa had won the European cup only the year before and brought all the stars down, Gary Shaw, NIgel Spink, Peter Withe and Tony Morley et al. The game ended in 2-1 victory for United.
My abiding memory was of standing on the old pop side in a similar spot to where I stand now. Down by the away end in the uncovered section.
Happy times

Re: Who do we want?
I'd take a nice home time against Northampton or another mid table league 2 side. Gives us a good chance of winning but if we lose, there's no shame.

Re: Your chance to design next years home kit
I like Fonda's idea of using the Hull kit as a template and changing the colours.
Very similar to the Oxford kit in the mid 80's

Re: Playing budget cut confirmed...
I agree with those who criticise the lack of ambition but the recession is a much bigger reason for the drop in gates. I have held a season ticket for the past few seasons but this year I had to make a decision whether I could afford it and the answer was no.
I have an 80 mile journey down to homes games (small compared to the trip made by some on here) so I need money for fuel, food, drink and finally the entrance fee. All in, a home costs me around £35 and if I take my daughter, I'm pushing through £50 for one game.
On top of that, I work for a company in the private sector who supply the public sector. With the public sector cuts being announced across the country, my employer has also had to make cuts and recently I had to take a 10% drop in salary. The job market is poor so there are no alternatives.
This is the story for many people and I think it doesn't matter how much the club try to promote themselves in the bay, people simply can't afford to go at the moment.

Re: Barclays Fantasy League
There is already a TUFC Supporters league set up but I don't know what the league code is to join.
Maybe somebody else remembers?
There's currently 30 members playing.

Re: New away kit
Not keen myself, I always think I should be ordering a Big Mac whenever I see someone wearing it. I preferred the white with gold and blue trim from last season.
