I didn't go today not as committed as I once was but to those who did go well played and you deserve the decent result on a far trip and cold day

Bit harsh on yourself Jimmy, you're one of our longest standing and most committed fans over many years. Fully agree, though, well done to those who made it today. :)

Treated poorly. Made to sit for 90 mins in a tiny corner as away end is now home end and they've wouldn't allow us to sstand behind the goal.
Odious club which is a ego trip. I'd be embaressed if I were spending the dough and getting a team that lumps it forward to giants.
For the million a year he's throwing away, for 2/3 of that he could get that Woking side.
Letting home fans just wander in to the away end to use our snack bar to avoid queues at their own is ridiculous. We weren't allowed to go to their bar? I didn't want a pint, just to get warm.
As for the electric car chargers, the automatic ticket scanners and food that tasted like cardboard.... what's the point.
Not to mention the signs around the ground attempting to persuade us to be vegan.
I think they'll be keeping their record as the lonely serving Conference club a long time.

At least Morrissey would approve.

Hats off, in particular, to all of those who managed to complete the expensive and unappetising 'double' of Woking and FGR this week.

I remember an even worse week a few years ago when it was Torquay away Tuesday and Exeter away on the Saturday. I did both from London. I remember we were clapped out of Torquays bar after the match.

I actually enjoyed today, apart from the seating which, even for my vertical challenges was rather cramped. Otherwise, I liked their ground, had a tour after the match and met the Chairman and Vice Chairman in their bar and saw the MOTM champers being given to their awful number 17, I thought he wasn't great but hey ho. Their players were having a "daft Christmas jumper" competition too :-)

I went to both of those also, we had a magnificent 77 stood on the away end at torquay that Tuesday night, plus those that opted to sit down. I think we will have a decent turn out at torquay in April this time around also

Was that the Valentines night Tuesday at Torquay? I remember being there for that. And the weeks of stony silences after it.

We have played there on Valentine's day but it was a Saturday and we had one of the smallest away followings I've seen for a league match, which included my mrs and jimmys mrs, the lucky lucky ladies. I think the midweeker was late March/April the initial sunday game had been called off in dubious circumstances
-
I envy and admire those who get to our away games.

There was nothing dubious about the postponement, the whole town was flooded we knew there was no chance on the Saturday. For the midweeker I stayed the whole week for both games, was February

Torquay didn't want to play the game on the Sunday as their players had a Christmas night out planned for the Saturday.

I'm not sure what this really tells us Brian. I was in Torquay all the Saturday and the volume of rain that fell meant it would have taken a miracle to get the game on. Indeed I told Peter Saturday tea time to not bother travelling as there was 0% of the game taking place.
Photographs of pitches don't really mean much, you only have to look at last season and the number of postponements we had at moss lane when the pitch looked fine
Of course it is nice to blow the conspiracy trumpet as we like to do - but sometimes sh*t happens

clicking that link and seeing the first item made me wonder if the club still has stoke citys number for young defenders who can play as a centre forwards to bring in on loan.

I was in Torquay from about 1pm on the Saturday & I can't really remember any rain of note.It certainly wasn't raining on the Saturday night when we visited the Model Village.It was cold though.
I was genuinely surprised when I heard the game was off, but the reason that I went to have a look was that the owner of the small hotel that we were staying at told me that he was very surprised that the game was off, as the ground drained very well & rarely suffered postponements due to waterlogging. When I got there around 11am, there was no water on the pitch at all...it was perfectly playable.
One of our Devon based fans....possibly Harold.......confirmed what had happened a couple of days later when he spoke to an Exeter player, who had been told by one of the Torquay players, who was a friend of his, that it had been nobbled.
We were done.

Reference the above, then here rests the case for the prosecution says Mr Flynn.......looking at all the evidence and acknowledging the reliability of the learned witness, then surely the judge would whole heartily agree we was robbed >:(

I think we will have disagree, but I remember sheltering from torrential rain on the Saturday night. Indeed I remember the coastguard closed certain streets as there were concerns the harbour was going to overflow and flood the town centre.
Also the road of the B&B where me and my husband were staying was flooded as well
Incidentally the model village is in Babbacombe not Torquay

I think that you are right & we will have to agree to disagree as it seems that we had completely different weather experiences leading up to the game being called off. I do believe that it was the Torquay players Christmas night out that scuppered the game, as the original date for the game (Saturday) was their only home league game in December & that would be the obvious date to have this.In my view, when the date of the game was changed to the Sunday, which I believe was about a month earlier, they decided that they would carry on regardless, have their night out & get the local referee to call it off on the Sunday morning.
