TorquayFans.com | Torquay United Fans Forum

With the lack of any information coming from the club for the last two weeks , this has left us with not much to discuss. So i just thought i would post this question because a) i'm interested in all your opinions and b) i'm a bit bored!! I know a few lads who used to support Scarborough FC until they went out of business and they now support a newly formed club which i think are called Scarborough Athletic and they play in non league. I often wondered what fans of clubs who go bust would do in terms of finding another club to support. Obviously many would support a newly formed club as a substitute for their former club but what if a new club was never formed? If it were you guys and the gulls(God forbid) went for a burton, who would you support either way? I think if it were me i would support the new team but if there was never one to support i would support my local club( been here 10 years ) Matlock Town
and go down to Causeway Lane a lot for beers and a game.

I would probably sit at the computer writing pointless threads on a football website.

Local team for me as well. Buckland Athletic as I spent my first 21 years being dragged up in Newton Abbot and my first club was a Buckland team playing in the South Devon Youth League at Sandringham Park, or IvybridgeTown where I have lived for the last 21 years (both in the South West Peninsula League Premier Division)

You do!

Yet another pointless and negative thread.....

Love Brucie's response though

Yeah Brucies response was great wasn't it?!! It made me **** wet myself it was that great!!! Snort , snort!! Next time i want to post something pointless i will have to run it by hime first to make sure he is happy with it. It would appear that my OP WAS a bit too pointless for him though. Aaaaah. Thanks Burnhamgull for also pointing out the negative connotations of the post. I should have started by saying,' This is a theoretical question to which i am interested in the positive answers of fellow gulls to outweigh the negatives of the post. I do feel a partridge moment coming on here when talking about positives and negatives!! Anyway, can't stay and chat, just thought it would be funny to point out that i am being slagged for posting banal cack when the people who are doing the slagging are probably obsessed with twitter and facebook and are doing the very same thing at this moment in time.

If Torquay went bust.....what then?

Support Bristol Rovers

Brucie's responses are often hilarious and I am sure he does not know how funny he is! I would think though that no thread is pointless to the person who does the OP and if it seems that way to others then the easiest thing is to just scroll on by and find something that will stir your interest. I am interested in reading every thread as it gives me an idea of how other supporters of the same club are thinking, and I contribute to some and quite often the most quirky. A psychiatrist would have a field day with me, mind you he may think he had struck gold if he had a scan through the site as well! =D

Thanks stefano. There are many posts that i consider pretty drab, even the ones speculating about the manager and players have run their course. In the grand scheme of things my post is pretty pointless but i was just interested in peoples opinions to my question. I just hope Brucie doesn't have kids cos they're gonna find it a bit tricky. Daddy what do you think would happen if the world was just sea? What a **** pointless question kiddo!!! What u asking me pointless shit like that for?!! We'd all drown anyway! Baa Humbug

you do that anyway dont you?

Support West Bromwich Albion.....you can't go wrong with the baggies I always say!

Boing! Boing! (Sh*t on the Dingles) wodger!!

Ok Andygull, to answer the question "If Torquay went bust.....what then?"

I'd support somebody else.

Thankyou, just a shame it went round the houses in order to get a normal answer.
