1. I have a new handle on here. I had an account ages ago but barely used and forgot it.

2. I have supported Torquay since i was born 30 years ago. I have followed the club through thick and thin all over the country in that time.

3. I presented an opinion. Who do you think you are to react like that?

Were either of you at the game today?

my opinion and perception is that she doesn't care. She may own the club but without us fans the club is nothing. To see her like that annoyed me. No thanks, nothing from her. Players and backroom staff alike all came up, spoke to us, apologised and thanked us for our support.

we are all entitled to our opinions and you have no right to react and speak in the manner you have.

well, lets look at your points............

1. you have a new handle? well, congratulations for not remembering the original one.

2. I suppose you are the only one then?? doesnt matter if its 30yrs or 30 days.

3. react? you are talking about the thea - and of course paul - who have saved this club from the mire in the first place. if we didnt have thea and paul previously we wouldnt have a club - or havnt you noticed that?
thea, currently has more reason to be frustrated/p155sed off more than anyone on here or at the club. so if you think that thea doesnt care then you are a plank.

Im a bit too optimistic sometimes arent I. :Oops:

Bugger it, we could be doomed!

But on the other hand, stranger things have happened.

look at how the ling situation was handled, look at the fact that there appeared to be no proper job application process before appointing knill. Those two decisions meant we ended up with Alan knill who has put us in the position we are in. I stand by my comments and others there today echoed the sentiments. So what is her excuse for not even bothering talking to us after the game? Everyone else took the time to.

why does everyone resort to name calling? Are we completely incapable of holding reasoned, mature debates without this? I will ask you the same... Were you there today?

A simple yet effective show of appreciation to the fans who turn up and keep the club going. I do see what you are saying hector i just feel ignoring the fans doesn't help.

AustrianAntheaGull wrote:I agree with Hector although I can also completely understand why Aldershot feels angered and aggrieved. I feel that Thea is not really the kind of woman who would front up to the fans offering platitudes and absorbing criticism. She is probably mortified inside and just didn't know what to do. She isn't media savvy and doesn't come across as confident and that makes her more of a genuine person IMO. She has put cash into the club where others perhaps haven't therefore she deserves respect as I'm sure Aldershot affords. I do agree with Aldershot in terms of the application process issues but as for today I have no qualms with Thea at all.
