Full of bifters mate! :rofl:

No, seriously madgull, i've got no idea as i've never been on it but i know a few lads who use it every week and they have no complaints apart from the occasional risk of asphyxiation. :)

Go for it mate.

Oh and :) cheers for the info on the expiry date Scott. PM me your address Matt and i'll send it to you as there isn't a hope in hell i'm getting down to Torquay before then.

We win, Barnet lose, we're safe. Simple.

I haven't been to an away game since Bristol Rovers, I'm going to brave it and go to Morecambe on Saturday! My first away game was Fleetwood and I'm going to go even further than that for my last away game of the season.

Due to Wimbledon's -23 goal difference a win for us and defeat for them away to Gillingham would also put us safe.

Which ever another massive game, I want to go to the Rovers game calm and relaxed so please, please win.

Looking forward to this. Must win game. Hopefully a big following from us.. Might be worth mentioning to Morecambe they could well be under estimating our support on Saturday I don't see why we could potentially have people locked out because we've brought more than they have expected.

HAVE NO FEAR!! I have just spoken to the operations manager at Morecambe FC and a very nice and helpful northern gent he was too ( we ALL are :~D ) and he assures me that there will be over 500 seats available to us although they definately will NOT be opening the terrace. My previous figure for the seat availability was 300 seats and now it has risen to 500 and odd so i don't anticipate there being more than 500 of us at ultimate best therefore nobody will be turned away.

I would still advise you all to book online prior to going up there just for your peace of mind but for you mavericks who like to live on the edge then turn up without a ticket and you should still be ok.

Hope that makes some of you feel better. I booked my ticket this morning. Roll on saturday!!

If anyone gets to Morecambe early, it is well worth taking a stroll down the sea front

Take your Torquay scarf along, wrap it around Eric Morecambe's statue and take a picture you have a great souvenir for the day !

From the sea front you can see right across Morecambe Bay over to Helvellyn in The Lake Disctrict and far to the left is Barrow in Furness (not so pretty to be fair!). A smashing view and worth the detour.

Got a good feeling that we can win this one, on the back of the Barnet excellent victory but have sneeky feeling that it will still go to the last day. Perhaps everyone else has had their run of luck...If all goes well and we are safe this time tomorrow, I will do the expected apologies. COLEY

By the way.... Martin Allen on Radio Kent this morning stated that they only need a point to win the league and that he likes Wimbledon ????

I've said before on this forum what I think about this gentleman. This is a crass, stupid comment that easily be misinterpreted and could potentially get him into serious trouble if the Gillingham game tomorrow turns out to be a draw. I would imagine that somebody will report him to the FA if this happens.

Not sure how much Allen likes wimbledon, but i doubt his players will give them 3 pts in front of own fans.
Got a feeling it could be a draw. Infact i think maybe all the relegation battling clubs could draw tomorrow.

Head says we will draw 1-1 but if we score first, we could nick it !

Morecambe could be missing 2 defenders, and recently released one. Gives us hope.

looking at the games, i would say barnet could struggle with wycombe and northampton in last 2 games, and aldershot need to beat dagenham - who are also now fighting just about.

It seems those 2 will drop, but you never know... southend could beat york and gills could beat wimbledon and we could even win!
