No doubt Gary will be making the very short trip to Twerton this afternoon. Be a big surprise if Bath don't beat the truly awful East Thurrock and will be well up for the game against us which if they won would put them 4 pts behind. But we will be raring to go too and get at them from the off but this will probably be our toughest test yet
Bath seem to like to play football and if they take us on that will be good for us because if they give our forward players plenty of space they are going to be in trouble.

Bath scrape home against the mighty East Thurrock 1-0 after the visitors hit the post in the 82nd minute.
A win’s a win, brucie. They too are on a decent run presently. Unlike Billericay who are now outside the last play-off place 13 points behind us having played the same number of games after today’s home defeat to Chippenham and their Dec/Jan implosion.
This game will probably attract the largest gathering of Bath City supporters at a game this season as well as a large number of neutrals. Could be the largest attendance this season in the division.
It is going to be advisable that any Torquay fans planning on going and paying at the gate on the day get there pretty early.
I admire your optimism Plainmoor78 but its not going to happen. Bath highest attendance this season 1727. Even with an army of Gulls fans the attendance wont break this seasons league high 4582 Billericay vs Chippenham yesterday.

4582! The figure I've seen is just over 900 and looking at the highlights online there is no way that Billericay had c.4.5k there yesterday.

Don't know where you got your figures from, 922 according to Billericay o/s. Suspect Vanarama, number of mistakes outrageous! Watch the highlights and you can see there are nowhere near 4500.
Getting back to Bath, their 1727 was on Jan 1, against Chip/ham. Presuming the remaining tickets (less than 200 at Bath/Plainmoor), are sold, I can still see a sizeable number of gulls fans turning up without tickets. There could also be Bristol City fans wanting to come as well, as they are at Nottingham. I can see the gate being over 3000 as a conservative estimate. What an advert for this level of football. Let us hope the unruly element behave themselves, and enjoy a match between 2 of the top 3 in the league.
