Or do you mean behind the Family Stand, where theres a small pitch with some goals?

No, the concretey bit behind (or is it to the left?)...this was a while back when Justin Fashanu was playing for you. Going even further back I remember seeing a bloke called Loram (Mark?) play for you in a random non Shrewsbury match I went to - great skill, brilliant mullet and and a fair gut on him.

All the best, great club you've got down there and play terrific football, just hope you bottle it at our place. Torquay definately haven't seen the best of us yet, but got a nasty feeling we'll win by one goal.

"They'll only bring 300 on friday"

The list goes on. Head over to the Blue & Amber to see more classic quotes like these. To be fair, a few Shrews fans are giving us (deserved) credit but there are quite a few others coming up with the tripe as shown above.

Seems odd to dwell only on the negatives when there are lots of posts on B&A praising your gaffer, commenting that we hope you go up if we don't, providing taxi numbers so your fans can make then last train home etc etc. It's a shame when people look for points to disagree on or take personally when , with the exception of the odd idiot, we're both a decent set of fans who have spent most of our lives supporting pretty crap football teams!

Enjoy your trip to the Meadow and all the best after the weekend. I've got some fond memories of visits to Torquay including being mobbed by the national press in your car park (turned out Bet from Coronation Street was getting out of a car behind me) and playing headers and volleys in that odd bit of ground behind the away end.
