What Sort Of Supporter Are You!!!

Tee He, now 3 nil down ;D

'Those that support every decision made by the management aren't better than those that dare to question either. We all want what's best for the club at the end of the day. The fact we see things differently is quite natural'.

Absolutely agree

what sort of supporter are you ? ,the answer i am a 40 year old bloke live in newton abbot ,season ticket holder along with my 11 year son and spend money in the club shop,we both are very alike ,passionate go loopy when we score ride on a crest of a wave when the team win,and their no talking to us when we lose.my partner laughs she watches us walk past the lounge window and knows how the team have done before we walk through the front door.

i agree with the above sentiments about Paul bastard don't know the guy personally ,however have gone up to him many a time in the ground and had a chat he got time for us all lovely bloke, big respect to those who travel not just the exiles who drive for hours down to torquay but to the locals who go all over the country watching the gulls play.

what makes a great supporter in my view some one who has torquay united in their heart ,i often hear locals who don't go to the games being called scab fans ,what about the guy who does not have a job right now or has large family commitments does not mean they don't kick every ball or feel the highs and lows we do ,or is the season ticket holder who calls for buckle's head after every defeat any less of a fan against the likes of me who does not.

for me any fan ,any fan who believes ,trust's ,and has torquay united in their heart through think and thin has every right to call themselves a proud fan of the mighty torquay united

You may be right Phil, but as someone who has once been labeled as anti Buckle I will not include myself in any list what I won't do is jump around and demand he gets sacked every time we lose a game and while I question his man management and team selection, he is the manager and if we are going to support the club, surely we need to give the manager support.

If the board still back him and believe he is the man to get the team back into the league, as we can't change him ourselves, lets ride with it and who knows at the end of this season fans may just be writing his name in the history books.

In response to Dave's question:

Having lived in Paignton as a child and teenager, I first walked into Plainmoor in 1954 and missed very few home matches until 1969, when my desire for a decent job took me to Southampton.

There I have stayed for the past 40 years, but I have managed to get to more than half the matches at home, and a fair number away, in all that time.

I am used to Torquay United being a Football League club and it is my dearest wish that they recapture that status. I simply cannot reconcile watching the likes of Lewes and Salisbury City with memories of seeing Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers run out at Plainmoor.

I am over the moon whenever we win and disappointed when we lose but I am at an age when.......................

I like to view the game impassively and watch opposing players;
I do not agree that winning at all costs is everything;
I do not agree that entertainment is secondary to winning;
I do not like chanting, singing stupid songs or banging of drums;
I do not like segregation and wish that it were not necessary;
I am indifferent to the effect that managers have on results.

Make of that what you will !!

ali sounds like fun living in your house ;D while you may support different teams it must be good that your main interests are both football. While Carol is not a TUFC supporter she does like the game due to her childhood, when she spent all her spare time with her granddad who lived in Harbertonford, but was the chairman of Totnes football club and would spent so much time watching local football. She likes to watch games on the TV and is always quicker than me to name the players.

That's just the sort of idiotic attitude pervading from Gnome Park that pisses me off with those inbreds.................grounds for divorce I'd say.

They lack ambition, they lack any history of achievement commensurate with their population and are in fact THE most underachieving football club in the country taking their hugely advantageous geographical location and demographic advantages over other clubs.

Show this posting to your old man and tell him he is following a serial failure of a club.....................and for heaven's sake they even compound their smallsville attitude by playing in green which as every South Devon football follower knows is a colour only preferred by village clubs.
