Here's my favourite sentence from John Laidlar's match report on his The Alty Files website:
"After a brief but bizarre stoppage to remove an errant orange from the pitch, play resumed (12 mins) with Torquay pressing."
You could see it clearly from the back of our section. A group of about 3 kids on bikes rode up to the back fence of the empty away terrace and tried to lob some eggs and fruit onto the pitch, most just landed on the roof but a couple got through to the pitch as TT was about to take a goal kick, very bizarre.
As for the game, that was a textbook away display by us, score early, take your chances and then professionally see the game out. Our ‘management’ (ie time wasting) of the game infuriated the Torquay fans which I think is a good sign of how we are growing at this level. Only shame Fitzpatrick had to come off early as he was looking good but I saw he walked onto the coach after the game so assume he’ll be fine for Halifax. Our support fantastic too, good numbers and very vocal. The race meeting in Newton Abbot meant it was lively locally too so cracking day out all told.
