Well done Danny & thanks. Saw one of your early games at Buckland in the summer of 2007. Club's future looked so fragile at that point, and you were a big part of our exhilarating recovery. A very decent stint for Torquay. Prove us wrong mate: good luck.

Right Back: I thought Oastler underachieved this season and although I may have given him another chance I fail to see why the fact that he was a regular in a team that only survived in the last fortnight is a reason to keep him. I imagine Knill will have targets but if we must retain the vastly overrated Mansell I would stick him back in there, where I think he did very well under Buckle.

Shouldn't worry- although I'ved snapped up four

Nice transport knowledge there. Well done. How many platforms at Kingskerwell Railway Station then?

Spot on.

We'll be fine.

I would just like to put a word in for The Clocktower followed by The Union. Does it for us most of the time!

If you're anywhere short of decent, Billy's gonna get ya. Well done!!

My parents often used to play a "South Pacific" LP.

Boo.

Dunno what the music is called. It's what they play between legs at the darts. Where it works a treat.
At Plainmoor? Derivative, pointless, unnecessary.
Boo!
Lovely to see Kee take responsibilty and drayshe it home though. Good effort all round I thought. Loved the mutual baiting between the Pop Side and their keeper. Now that's what I call a proper atmosphere.

Perhap's

If you think that's harsh wait until you see the abuse you could get for your unnecessary apostrophe!

Well, let's hope not. I've just emailed the club with my two-penneth.

I haven't looked back through this thread so I apologise if:

a) This is going over old ground and/or,
b) It's a bit sad posting almost as soon as I get home,

but please please please please can we not ape every other sad plastic club in the country and play music when we score?

Ridiculous.

Yes they were shocking weren't they? I seem to remember it being very early in the season and having to run to the ground through a torrential downpour. Better memories of a late Garry Nelson screamer on a cold night with part of the Sheffield Weds band playing along behind us. Steve McCall was serenaded with the theme from Steptoe & Son. My mate always maintains that the crossbar is still rattling from a Brian Kilkline screamer in the first half.

If you have time to visit 2 pubs, by all means try Boots & Laces. If you've only got time for one, come to the Union: good bitter, better conversation & atmosphere. Friendly, I promise. Two minutes from the ground, opposite Waitrose(!). Bring your own whippet.
