Torquay - Pay on the Gate

[Curious Orange]

I see the FA Cup match is pay on the gate. Will we take one thousand people to this match?

 

[crodonilson]

I'm thinking about going and I'll take a few of my bum chums with me as it's pretty local for us. I'd be dissapointed with the magic of the cup that there weren't close on a thousand of us there.

 

[Il Duce]

I'll be going down there. Should be a good old fashioned away trip.

How am I meant to get a thousand people in my green ford escort?

I see the away end takes 1,150 http://www.seagulls.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Latest/0,,10433~1172722,00.html. Don't think we took that many to Cheltenham.

I'd have thought cost would be the main thing stopping some people from going- not that tickets are particularly expensive on this occasion, but with travelling, beer money, and the fact that Christmas will only be just over three weeks away by that point, it might make some people decide against it.

I doubt Torquay have been told to expect over a thousand, given that their away terrace holds only 1150 and they've decided to make it pay on the gate.

and distacnce of course.

It is a fecking long way to Torquay, especially when the bus breaks down........

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

For anyone thinking of going by train it looks like it's a 'Great Western' bus service from Exeter St David's to Torquay.

Cheapest fare (without a railcard) I could find just now on Trainline from Guildford is £49.00 (x2 singles), changing at Reading and Exeter - 4 hours!

I'll be in your area and was thinking if I could drag myself away from family commitments and more importantly, The Palmers , I'll be heading down.

Plus 200 seats for the bobble hat and scarf brigade , if more turn up there is also another terrace section that can be opened up. I would expect the club to tell their counterparts in Torquay to prepare for 800+ as many fans will be going Xmas shopping with the missus.

we used to take a fair few there - even on a bitterly cold new years day

 

[plymouth nige]

[Curious Orange]

Think I'll pencil this one in after watching the tarts on the telly this evening.

Plus its a nice drive down the 303 from here.

 

[Beach Hut]

Hopefully I will be going, awaiting some calls on lifts.........

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I shall be in attendance for my first away game this season and only my third in the last two and a half years. :badfan:
