Torquat forget how to deal with such a large crowd

[LOG]

Mild attendance fetish alert.

According to Radio Devon, kick off at Torquay was delayed by 15 minutes as they didn't open the gates until 2.15 to let in the masses of loyal fans.

How very tinpot.

Wouldn't have thought the retirement homes of the bay would allow them out in this cold weather would you <snigger>

4,028 - and they STILL couldn't get it started on time :$ - and for their "Cup Final" too

How tinpot

NB: 5th Dec 2009 (WITHOUT the "magic of the cup") 5,456 (607 from Brighton))....and the kick off was bang on time! [y]...
...shame the final whistle wasn't three minutes EARLIER for ours though?

I was at Plainmoor today, and it took me til the 60th minute to realise that their was something strange about the crowd, notably that it was about twice as large as they normally get. The reason I didn't notice is I am usually too busy watching proper football at good grounds with a decent turn out.

Looks like they're having terrible problems getting them all out too; not a single gull on here; must all still be stuck inside the ground; have they forgotten how to use the gates <snigger>

Be fair though GiE, the usual "luxury motor of choice" down the 'bay-way tends not to be overly nippy....

as usual you greeks have your facts so badly wrong .

hte reason why the gates were not opened untill 2.15 was due to a pitch inspection at 2 pm after the 1.30 inspection the ref decieded to wait as the pitch was frozen by the family stand.

good sense realy ,if the gates were opened at 1.30 and the game called,would have been a fine mess.

Don't let facts get in the way the greeks are just bitter that they never made it to round 3

Torquat? who?

What've you greeks been up to today anyway? Out shopping? Putting that shelf up that the missus has been going on about for a while? Staring wistfully at Sky Sports News remembering the last time you stayed in the FA Cup past the second round?
