As an Exeter fan I wont hear a word against Alty, we have always been treated with respect and kindness on our visits to Moss Lane. There are a large number of arrogant Torquay fans, dont tar them all with the same brush but there are a decent number of indecent people. Regarding the standing in the rain...well thats just tough. Countless teams have had to stand in our away end in the rain before, where we can we let people sit down, I'm not sure whether we issue a trade-up charge - I'd guess it would depend on how much of the game was left. Regarding GH and the brawl, well I wouldnt put it past the Torquay lot to be aggressive, not at all. They are a bunch of hotheads and wind-up merchants. And Sills is the biggest cheat in non-league football, the diving fairy.
I stuck up for you guys to my mates when you had trouble about standing in our stand, sorry about that, you should have been allowed a transfer to the terrace much sooner. When our away crowds fall below 100, or are expected to, we try and cut costs by closing one stand, and this can make the fans suffer. I hope it worked out for you in the end.
But you will hear no 'teams like Alty' comments down our way, we have always regarded teams highly who have a) done well for themselves and played honestly and b) who have looked after us at away games. A good example: One year I nipped to your excellent chippy before the gates opened, I presumed at 2pm. They opened at 1.30 and I was told I could come in if I wanted to, even though I had bought food from outside the ground. Some teams would have gotten funny about that. I hope you stay up, you deserve it. Thanks for taking so many points off the Gulls, and look forward to seeing you next year if we stay down (you'll forgive me for saying 'hope we dont meet next year!'
