I think Nemane has started the season very well. Agree Andrews looks heavier this season, must be all muscle ! or the club would have been on it. Moxey must surely come straight in at left back/wing back on Tuesday and Warren if we play a back three.
Cameron and Sherring have been outstanding so far. Seems Nelson is injured (another one) think he is needed , Britton struggled a bit today I thought but battled well. With Reidys pace, movement and finishing we would have won comfortably today.

Excellent, professional live stream coverage by Bromley.

Good team performance especially 2nd half. Cameron, Sherring and Wynter having good games. Randell with a mature steady display in midfield and a superb goal. Nemane with another fine wing performance and almost sneaked a goal.

Wright deserves a special mention - kept calm under pressure to score the late penalty goal winner.

Thank you Trojan 67 what a goal!!!
Kyle Cameron was first to congratulate Adam.
Could well be goal of the season. What a superb strike.

I would email Spotlight if I were Adam Randell, they really are useless.
5 minutes on Exeter Chiefs and their ladies team as expected, then show Alex Fisher scoring a 'screamer' for Exeter, ok they did show one of our goals but it was Wright's penalty ! Randells screamer not worthy of showing !
On another subject I was surprised at the low viewing figure on Saturday , only 700, why aren't the Torquay fans who go to Plainmoor watching the livestream and supporting the club ? 30-50% cheaper than going to the game from the comfort of your armchair. Fantastic coverage on Saturday pre match interviews , action from previous meetings, action replays, close ups, and good commentary. Admittedly Torquay and Eastleighs coverage though good wasn't up to that standard so maybe many didn't bother Saturday but 700 ?

Because it’s not the same is it. The whole point of supporting Torquay is that I don’t want to watch games ‘from my comfort of my armchair’. I want to be there, meeting and chatting to other fans before the game, savouring the atmosphere, the build up, the anticipation, witnessing the action up close... hearing every kick and tackle, vocally getting behind the team, celebrating with them when we win or a goal goes in.

I and many others hugely miss the match day experience for which a live stream at home with a cup of tea just isn’t the same. Fingers crossed we can get back to doing football properly at some point next year.

I get your point and I agree to a great extent, we all miss the live match experience, but to me watching the livestreamed match
is better than not seeing it at all, also when the game is at Plainmoor we are financially supporting the club. I couldn't possibly avoid the match or listen on the radio if I knew I could be watching on TV.

As somebody who can't make it to home games (even when everybody is allowed to go) I'm a big fan of the streaming. I wonder if there are any plans to continue streaming once crowds are allowed back.

It'd be a great 'value-add' for season ticket holders, and could encourage people from further afield to become ST holders, if streaming is included as part of the cost. I think most people understand that one of the main appeals of lower league football is actually being there in person, but if the club can use this to get some extra revenue, I'm all for it. There would naturally be a concern that allowing streaming would reduce attendance, but I don't think that would be as drastic as you might think; those of us who can go in person would mostly still go even if staying at home to watch it would save a few quid.

Buying an "Exile Season Ticket" where I don't get tickets to the game, but for the streaming of the home games could become a viable way for non-Devon-based fans to continue supporting the club, beyond the odd shirt now and then.

I'd imagine that's nailed on now. Joy for exiles like us

I believe you can buy a streaming season ticket.
