Do you really think you'll sell out the away end? Haha plenty of room for you.

200 I believe

How many fans you bringing?

We lost because of some wrong decisions haha don't make me laugh. We should of had a stonewall pen without being biased it was more like a rugby tackle... You lost the game because you didn't have a shot on target and had your first corner in the 70th odd minute. If we performed like that I'd just admit we was shit but for some reason you can't do that... Maybe it was a slight improvement from your game at Braintree but I expected a lot more and would have been more then happy with a draw. Your left back got tore a new un and was one of the worst defenders I have ever seen and I'm not the only one that has said that either.

It doesn't matter how many goals you score. We are second for a reason. You're the team that will probably score 2 a game but concede 3 where as I'd happy take our 1-0 win... Add a bit more quality up front and we'll be top 5 for sure. You were rubbish today and on another day we could of had 5 or 6, we should of had an obvious pen, hit bar. Should've had a goal in first half which crossed the line apparently but not given we missed 2 pretty much open goals and a few more really good chances. Maybe you should worry about your own position. Looking at a team that won't go up according to you create so many chances on that sort of pitch... 10th for you max me thinks

See you next week at the mem

Torquay is the right size for me, and its if you can look back on lots of memories (good or bad) and say yes, I've suffered, but also I've enjoyed it.

That's why being in the conference is no problem for me at all. Its change and a newish experience, albeit we have been there before.

So you can have your "bigger" club status,enjoy it, the pressure is on you then to beat us as you are expected too, because your bigger and with that is the expectation are also superior. In fact you should be with the extra income you have.

We are expected to beat you because we are 3rd and you're like 9th?

We've sold just shy of 900 with 400 left which I find is strange as thought we normally got 1,550 allocation

How are we finding the conference? I for one think that when people say the conference is not to much different to league two are wrong. I think the standard in this league is awful. We ain't great but we are 3rd... ( not sure how! ) I know most of you didn't rate Mansell but he's an excellent leader for us and a Good player in my opinion. Where do you think you'll finish this season? I think we'll be 4th and you 5th which could mean we'd meet in the play off final if I'm right...

Anyway on to Boxing Day game, club have said we've sold 700 as of yesterday so I expect a 1,000 or so will travel which isn't bad with no trains and with it being on Boxing Day. What sort of crowd are we looking at? 3,000ish? I'd defiantly take a point as long as we get all 3 in the return fixture the week after ( hate this conference fixture rubbish, I don't see the point?) but at least with it being on Boxing Day you haven't gotta worry about Rovers fans being in your end!

New Years day game.. I was hoping we had you away on this fixtures so we could stay over New Years eve for a few nights, ever since we took over torquay in 2012 it's been Boxing Day which is very annoying because our fans love a torquay weekend and then Devon arms pub! Anyway how many fans you expecting? Should be a 6,000 plus gate depending on our results from now till then but our home record is fairly strong so I'd expect the win

All the best over the Christmas period.. What a exciting week we could have.. And eh you never know we might see you again in May!
