Which merry-ground?
Posted: 27 May 2014, 22:22
Ok so we've had closure and we face up to the challenge of the conference next season. I've been scanning through the internet to find out about the grounds of the clubs we will be facing and the actual places themselves and I'm really starting to look forward to it. Ok so if you look at the photos of Braintree's ground on that internet grounds guide site then you may think I'm deluded. I am anyway so what's new? =D
This no longer feels like a win but it feels like a really good adventure and although we've been here before, regaining our league status is not a forlorn hope and realistically it could happen sooner rather than later. Can you just imagine what that day will feel like when we finally achieve our league status back at the expense of Northampton?
For now though we get back to earth with a bump and begin the long slog, visiting minnows and challengers from all four corners of the country. Tiny Welling to the not so tiny Grimsby. Brash Brizzle to the chilled out Gloucestershire lot from Nailsworth. It's all in there and it will be a treat. Surely, surely, surely there cannot be any more football to come that is worse than Knill gave us? No. It's impossible.
So, please if you will. The top 3 away games you are most looking forward to next season. I know it will probably be none of them but let's spin the doom and gloom on it's head and eagerly anticipate next season as a test and an adventure to behold. We're in the conference and we've just got to make the best of it. You could opt for supporting Derby County if you wish but that would be silly. You'd soon come to your senses after reading the advice and posts from respected forum members.
The Derby project was pure folly. I've been all over the **** country supporting the total shower of shit that is TUFC and I'm not giving up now. The voices in my cranium have had words and the evil Derby side has been ousted by the good Torquay side. I know it makes sense. (Do I? How come? Someone made the decision on my behalf! ).
So - if anyone can be bothered - TOP 3 MOST ANTICIPATED AWAY GROUNDS / TRIPS NEXT SEASON!
Personally I'm looking forward to Alfreton Town. Seeing us play there would actually represent the lowest point of my Torquay support thus far. Alfreton literally is a large village with a Tesco and an Argos. Being there for our game will really hit home just what has happened. That said I'm prepared for it and will enjoy it and it's only 15 minutes away.
Grimsby Town. A battle royale this will be and so long as it's in good weather I can have a good old stroll along Cleggy 'sea' front beforehand and have some fish and chips in the leaking boot.
I was going to go for Dover Athletic because it's just bizarre but I'm not sure if I will be able to make it even though i'll try so I'm going for Braintree. Jesus. It's a non descript town in rural Essex that has a odd name and I'd never in my lifetime ever visit the place if it weren't for our fixture next season. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Braintree has to offer.
