Would you go and watch Torquay United in the Conference South?

Fairly self explanatory...

Gloomy Gull · Post by **Gloomy Gull** » 02 Mar 2017, 16:49

Surely the question should be ...WILL you go and ........not WOULD

I now very fearful that that will be the situation at the start of next season.

Definitely.

If we stop going the club dies.

WE are the club. Not the players. Not the manager. Not the board.

Based on the first 49 votes gates would drop to 500 approx. We have to avoid the drop.

northlondongull · Post by **northlondongull** » 02 Mar 2017, 17:38

We probably need a sample of at least 100 to deduce anything. Also this does not take account of the baseline i.e. do you already attend regularly?
Therefore the results will be somewhat crude but do give some form of indication of people's mind-sets more than anything.

Not sure, I certainly wouldn't renew my season ticket.

kevgull · Post by **kevgull** » 02 Mar 2017, 19:42

No more season tickets. £200 spent on utter shite!
No more players fund.
May go to the odd game, that would depend if I thought the game was worth the new entrance fee of £12-15!

I have been going regularly since our Promotion winning season to League 1 but no longer have the stomach or can justify my financial layout each season to a Board full of idiots!

Yes, I would still go regularly, let's hope it doesn't get that bad and we survive this season. A win this weekend is a must

Nick Potkins · Post by **Nick Potkins** » 02 Mar 2017, 20:01

Short answer is YES, I support Torquay United.
However, living 200 miles away I would pick and choose my games. Like now would still attend 10 / 12 games per season and being regional (National League South) I may have more local games to attend.
Living near Brighton I can't tell you how hard it is watching my mates support a club on the verge of the Premier League. To think they nearly went out of the league a few years back. Just shows what good management / ownership can do!
So YES, I will always be YELLOW, but it hurts like hell at times.

I used to be a ST holder up until this season. Depsite the £200 offer, I still couldn't be tempted and next season would be the same. I'll go 4-5 times a season and that's it for me. I've lost the passion I had for the club in my 20's and 30's.

It doesn't matter whether we're. National League, National South or Devon League, I will always try to get to as many games as I can. Despite how bad we are, the miles travelling and the god awful results along the way, my weekends wouldn't feel right without prolonged visits of the famous Torquay United.

I pray we can get out of this situation again, but I'm not confident. 2 wins from our next 2 games would certainly go a long way in restoring my faith.

It's my team through thick and thin, maybe wouldn't have a season ticket, but would go to games.

Post by **SuperNickyWroe** » 02 Mar 2017, 21:42

Would attend the most "northern"

away games and a few home ones.....

......for my sins.......

Hmmm... Chippenham (3 miles from my home) are currently top of the Southern League Premier Division! We could be playing them next season... how depressing is that!

Wow............Chippenham....................Effing Chippenham!!!

I remember when we played Stoke, Swansea, Reading, Birmingham and West Brom in League 1.......................I loved those days.
