Okay you too. I stood near Bengull if I think who it is at the rovers game Boxing Day and both of you at gigg lane in front I think as I was the muppet in the white hat (if can remember) I will be warring the sane or blue hat tomorrow. Will make sure I introduce myself and me old man to you tomorrow as he supported the gulls for 40 years and i look forward to it especially when we get three points (no one expects of so COYY)

Good man, that is my usual space at Plainmoor so be good to say hi at the Morecambe match. I would suggest tomorrow but its bound to be hectic with a large away following expected. If not, I will be at Wimbledon and if you are too I can get Andy back for calling me ugly because I know he wouldn't dare step foot in London!

I have vague recollections of you at Bury, was a really good day out, and if you chose that match ahead of Accy and Scunthorpe then well done, you chose wisely!

Too right!

I shall be at Oxford game and then the next away game for me will be CHESTERFIELD!! Hooray! Ground to house in less than 5 minutes!

.

No way I'm going near London for the Wombles game though. I'd rather watch New Years Eve Telly!

errrrrrrr :Oops:

Oh no my friend only away game I missed Rochdale , scunny and burton. I was at at accy with the poor treatment of knill at end of the game with people shouting in his face . Highlight if the season so far been the "where's Brucie now" call when we were 2-1 up at Wycombe for once bar the Bury game if course. By far my best TQ memory ever with that storm and the 3rd goal especially

I was at the Accy game too, tried to play a drum i'd brought, spectacularly failed and made myself look like a complete tw*t! Funny though.

I was also at Wycombe and 'members of our party'

were responsible for the Brucie shout and us banging on the advertising boards at the back trying to get some atmos going.

I went to Morecambe too, can't remember too much about that.

Fleetwood I went and it was bad.

Northampton second half was awesome and the highlight for me this season.

Burton was just f*cking dreadful but one of the funniest away days with Ben, Alex and LankyBen providing the entertainment.

Bury I was at too and Scunny.

I was on my way to Rochdale but my car knackered up on the way.

Really looking forward to Oxford as I've not been before. COME ON THE LADS!!!!

Who?

The players or fans?

Well then I look forward to meeting you both at some point! I'll take up a position at the back of the stands again to make as much noise as possible. Unfortunately AAG I did see your drumstick break at accy and I apologise but it was hilarious at the time. Anyways on to today I think well get a result out of it as like Southend no ones expects anything after Exeter although we stuffed them all over the park so I think Hawley is make or break tomorrow, admittedly I'm not a big fan of his as from this season I have seen Bennerz do just as good a job up top even holding up the ball and more threatening in front of goal but he scored last game so here's his chance to prove us all wrong. I don't believe the board will change until the end of January if they need to with knill but I still believe we have the squad and quality within to get us out of this mess and push on up the table as I know knill said 10 ganes for predicament of the season but I think with the amount of new players constantly coming in it needs a season to fully assess how we are doing with him at the helm. I just hope he Nabateans to keep all plates fit for the 2nd half the season as that has been his biggest downfall so far although that is his job role as manager to deal with these situations

I'll be there today, fast getting a reputation as someone who only turns up for the derbies but that's the way the cookie's crumbled so far this season.

Is there any likelihood of this being called off? I've heard about the weather, and although their pitch has to be better than ours, I'm listening to the rain on my qindow in Dartmouth and I wonder how much of this it can take

The conditions may help our cause.

There is a little part of me that wonders whether we will achieve something today but I had the same hope against Exeter. Plymouth are due a win against us - they have not beaten us since 2001. I made the decision after the Exeter game, that I wasn't going to watch us lose a second derby within 3 days, so didn't buy a ticket. I had wavered somewhat and considered going but the weather, a bit of sore head because I only went to bed a few hours ago and the wish not to part with another £30-40 has made me stay at home for this one, so it will be the first Plymouth game I have missed since a League Cup tie, around 1984 or something. Because I am not going it makes me think that maybe they will go and win and then I would regret missing it, although I know, if I attended we would certainly lose. Perhaps I should have gone, as it could be the last time we ever play there if/when we suffer relegation.

I am hoping that we win, whilst a draw would be much better than what I can imagine happening. A defeat at least, I hope, will hasten the departure of the manager but I somehow doubt it, as it has all been left far too late.

Full respect to all the yellows making their way to Plymouth today. The weather is absolutely abysmal, up here it's like the end of the world never mind the beginning of a new year but if you are committed enough to get out your pit a little worse for wear probably and make your way to Plymouth today then I take my hat off to you. Ok so it's down the road but there is also the cost element too when people are skint and are having to find some more cash to watch us and total respect (unless you happen to earn more than £18k a year and then I have a little less respect because you can afford it :na: )

I can't see any way we can get a win there today, we aren't the most battle hardened and although the only game I can remember this season played in similar conditions at Bury we won, we clearly shouldn't have done and the 2-1 lead gave us something to hang onto. We have to score first and Downes perhaps?

I have to make a treacherous journey up to Rotherham and back soon so will be tuned in to talksport in the car listening for any score updates. The old fashioned way, can't beat it.

Keep dry everyone, keep safe and keep singing.

COYY!!!!

Oh and look out for Bengull, you won't be able to miss him. Think Elephant Man crossed with a Shar Pei and bingo. He's your man.
