Torquay United Fans Forum

We're coming for a party, the atmosphere won't be toxic unless Torquay make it toxic.
The Wrexham fans in the away end are ALL ST holders, and no one wants to risk losing them for next season. The fans in the home end have bought tickets from Torquay fans.

It would be good if you stayed up, although I can't see it tbh.

Enjoy the weekend

This just isn't true.

Whatever the number, the police will struggle to keep control whether the Wrexham fans are friendly or not. The late kick off time won't help matters, unless it's raining heavily and they don't fancy hanging around outside Plainmoor.
Are we really going to have a situation where a lot of Wrexham fans will be outside trying to buy tickets from us?

Yes, 3000 much more realistic than 6000, but that's still about 1500 waving money around trying to buy tickets, push through turnstiles, force gates and climb walls.

I also believe that for most of the season one stand is closed down, so Halifax aren't being totally altruistic towards Wrexham by giving them 4,500 tickets since they can still accommodate their own fans and maintain segregation.
Wrexham are getting an away allocation in accordance with National League regulations at Plainmoor and if long standing supporters cannot get tickets because new plastic supporters that a problem between them and their club. It's not our problem so they should shut up about getting more tickets or moving the game.

You're right, if roles were reversed you would get 1200 tickets max.
Our problem is that the club have failed to implement a loyalty scheme which is fit for purpose so 7200 ST holders want to come to Torquay despite many of them probably never having travelled away before.
The free for all for these ST holders means regular travelling fans have missed out, which isn't your problem but explains the desperation of some to get tickets.
We don't expect to be given more tickets, but selfishly we will be hoping your season is over before then which may make some available in the home end.
Finally, I saw one of your fans was nervous about taking their 7 year old for fear of trouble, despite what some may think, the vast majority of our fans will be well behaved and respectful, I hope everyone gets to enjoy the game.

That may be tongue in cheek, and I understand ST holders are not going to risk losing them, but occasional fans, who can get tickets stand to buy 6 for £100 and sell them on for £600, that's an attractive possibly to a lot of fans.

Lots were Americans she said.
When Aldershot ran out these Yanks thought it was Wrexham as the home team obviously wear red. The Gravy train brigade have not got a frigging clue
Sums the circus up that is Wrexham.
After the way they have treated us supporters at the Racecourse and there total lack of stewarding. I hope we limit their tickets for this especially after the way they smashed up the town last year.
The only way I will go is if it’s a must win for us, I do not want to see a bunch of lowlifes celebrating on our patch as we fall down the pyramid with a whimper.
Good riddance Hollywood… it will all end in tears.

I joined to lurk really, we have an interest in TUFC this season for obvious reasons.
The issues with your fans have been addressed, we restrict sales near visitors to members only, we have increased segregation areas and increased stewarding, and have has very few issues in the ground since, so if we do meet next season you should have a better experience.
Americans, and assorted new fans do show up when tickets go to general sale, they are friendly and excited to be at the games. We were all new fans, they pay for tickets so welcome them and the money they generate whether it's at Wxm, Aldershot, Torquay or anywhere else.
The trouble in Torquay last season was not Wxm fans.
Problems at Bromley were entirely the making of Bromley fc, check their message board.
TUFC tickets will all be taken by ST holders, difficult to see how wxm fans will get in the home sections unless TUFC fans sell them tickets.
Looking forward to the game, selfishly I hope your fate is sealed before then, and that I get a ticket.
Good luck
