Thanks, decent gate. I imagine must have been a decent atmosphere today.

A good win in poor conditions, our defence was a lot more secure with Hall playing so deep. Biggest traversty of the day, the so called crowd declaratiom of 3100, in the week we were told that Wrexham had sold out of their allocation of 1200 but just over 700 choose to turn up, I was sat in Bristows bench and that was the biggest crowd of the season by a country mile, did we give away a load of freebies again today ?, or are we entering into a period of creative accounting.

They didn't sell 1200

They sold 790 don't believe everything you read online

I believe they said Wrexham fans sold out of there seating allocation. No where did I read or hear they sold out of there allocation
Credit where credit is due just over 700 away fans away fans for NL is pretty impressive!

I think you are wrong

Great result today, great atmosphere. I also thought there were more than 3181 at the game.
Playoffs - too little too late unfortunately. But, let's have a strong end to the season to keep the interest.

I am sure there are pretty strict rules about accurate recording of gate attendances!

It would be one way of getting out of the National League to be miss counting but I would imagine it would be in the wrong direction !

Fantastic defending today and incredible workrate , commitment, fight, etc etc
Would like to have seen us keep hold of the ball better second half and have a few more decent counters and chances but it was all Wrexham. Utter crap from Parkinson saying the wind and pitch made it difficult. Absolutely nothing wrong with the pitch, they don't play a passing game on the grass anyway but well done Torquay, I'll take that though can't say I'd like to watch many more games like that , I find it frustrating that we create so little and have so little goal threat from open play but 3 points will do tonight.

Great to be at the game today.
Tactics were right and 100% commitment from everyone. Brilliant atmosphere and fantastic to win against a team that thinks they can buy promotion.

Crowds will turn up IF we are winning, if we play pretty football and lose, attendances will soon drop.

Today, I looked at the team sheet and thought where were the goals coming from.....not much to offer "up front".

However once again everyone played a significant part in another strong team performance. Halls goal was superb, it reminded me of Jim Fryatt from 55 years ago - a powerful header, giving the 'keeper no chance.

The attendance ? It looked a lot more than stated.

Great result against a big spending side, who looked pretty ordinary and rarely threatened. I agree with the Pop siders verdict....What a waste of money.

Have to say that's probably the best result of the season beating Hollywood FC.
As for Parkinson - bad loser talking b*llocks in my book - blamed the pitch and the weather - same for both teams FFS. :slap:
Said they'd have won IF they'd have scored - Note to Parkinson - You didn't and lost 1-0 you complete tool.
