Hi Andy,

Any chance of a quick update (and some pictures) on the progress at the training ground?

Andrew

I have another suggestion for you Andrew, judging by the times you reply to emails !

Don't start work so early in the summer, have a rest, because when the season starts you will be rushed off your feet !

Thanks MidDevon for your kind and considerate words.......but I have all these great ideas to look at! I like the early, light mornings at this time of year it's the winter that is not quite so appealing.

Any idea when social evening for season-ticket holders will be Andy?
I know sometime in July has been scheduled but would be good to have a date soon so it can be booked in diary

Hi,
Tentative date is Friday 12th July but please note that this is not confirmed yet but you might want to pencil it in your diary. Full details will be announced on OS once agreed.
Regards,
Andrew

Oooooh, Marines and Torquay players, too much for a girlie to stand

Dear God no, westbaygull.

There was no crescendo of sound as there is nothing big enough at the beginning of that song to even come close to a crescendo. Add to that the fact he has completely ruined an already average Muse song and you end up with a song unfit for human consumption. Why can't DJ's stick to writing their own music, rather than rehashing someone else's work?

DJs are NOT musicians !!!

Good Morning Andrew

What is the chance of a Forum with Alan Knill et al ?
I know a few in the past became a slanging match, but this was generally under Mr Bateson.

As I was wandering through the town centre this morning it was, as usual, totally swamped with foreign language students. We have thousands of them here every summer.

Has the club ever approached any of the language schools?

Obviously this would only work for the first few games of the season (we have 3 home games in August) and pre-season matches. Offer them a block of seats at a discount, they'll be sure to spend heavily on food and drink plus youngsters abroad always like a souvenir, so get them in the shop and sell some scarves, hats, shirts etc.

Hi,
Forum is being arranged for the end of this month. Details to follow soon.
We are in contact with the language schools over various initiatives but thanks for the ideas.
Hope you are all staying cool on a very hot day in Torquay.
Regards,
Andrew

This is a tremendous suggestion. Well done Jerry.

(I know A. Candy said it was already in hand, but that doesn't diminish the idea. Glad we're on it)

Hey Andy, what would be acceptable proof of being a last season ticket holder for Friday? I have a horrible feeling I binned my empty book after the last game!
