Torquay United Away

[demportdave]

As for the shenanigans in the mini-stand

February 1969, my first ever away game and Argyle won 1-0. It was an evening game and I went up on the Argyle coach after school.

I can remember being crushed in the the old mini-Kop behind the goal, with Argyle and Torquay fans in together as there was no segregation in those days. Unbelievable now but I think the crowd was about 16000 that night.

No problem, half hour to newton Abbot horse racing on same day afternoon meet so could be a bit of traffic around another half hour 45 mins to plainmoor street parking around ground

Nah. Newton Abbot in rush-hour is a nightmare, and the Penn Inn roundabout is Dante's secret tenth circle of Hell - made 10 times worse with building the new link road ... and throw in the holiday makers with their frikkin' caravans...

I would honestly say that leaving Plymouth just after 6pm is pushing it to get to the game on time.

Head the back way to Torquay from Penn Inn follow the signs for Milber and it brings you out at Barton (where the ski slope is/was) that's probably the easiest and quicker way to head to Torquay that or come off before Penn Inn (Sainsburys/Decoy) and go that way

I would stay away frpm Penn Inn tailbacks from all the commuters coming back from exeter

Paignton on to Torquay for me.

 

[djg145]

As I say - being a local to Paignton - do NOT go the Penn Inn way - it will be aweful.

Best idea is to plan on going thru Totnes at approx 6pm then either Berry Pomeroy or thru Paignton to the ring road to Torquay.

Struggling to decide which way to travel to Tuesdays game at Torquay. Don't know if to turn left or right outside my front door for the 90 second journey. Its nice having an away game on my doorstep. COME ON YOU GREENS.

Bet we are in bleddy lilac!

Last year up there we played in yellow. Took me a minute to figure out which team was which.

Can someone confirm the EXACT time of Kick Off please? The Argyle website has just said 7.30 but I was told by TU Box Office that it's 7.45. It will make quite a difference to anyone wondering if they can get to the match in time if they are travelling from Cornwall/Plymouth after leaving work.

 

[Knarf Reprah]

Does the argo website ever get anything correct? Indication of amateurism and shoddiness I'm afraid

 

[Positively Green]

I am wondering if it's the commentary that starts at 7.30 or the match - but I had already had conflicting times from elsewhere. It could well be my mistake. Everyone makes them!!

 

[Philly Cent]

Bet365 have it as a 7:45 kick off.

Argyle are 6/4 to win if anybody fancies a flutter, pretty generous odds imo!

 

[IJN]

I am wondering if it's the commentary that starts at 7.30!

Of course it is.

I'm sure Frank will apologise soon.

Not sure how to do links but read on the bbc website that exeter are giving all the gate receipt money in there friendly with torquay to torquay, basically there wavering there share.

Nice gesture just wandered if we were doing the same to help torquay out?
