...really looking forward to this game. Mainly to see if there are any differences since the last game I went to which was away at Accrington Stanley.

The last time we went there it was an "okay" game... Torquay rattled us, with Alex Russell having a good game for them if I remember rightly. We let them go forward which was annoying and that allowed Osei-Kuffour's good strike.

No one remains from our starting line-up that day (19/02/05)

XI: Rhys Evans, David Duke, Sean O'Hanlon, Matty Heywood, Steve Jenkins, Lee Holmes, Grant Smith, Matt Hewlett, Sammy Igoe, Jamie Slabber, Sam Parkin.

SUBS: Jerel Ifil, Rory Fallon, Stefani Miglioranzi, Brian Howard, Steve Book.

I definately remember thinking why on earth Kingy didn't make a change at any point of the game.

Also, I got threatened by a Torquay fan with a Manc accent afterwards which was a suprise!

I'm looking forward to this one aswell. Only my 3rd away game ever!

The atmosphere is going to be electric as we are taking 1500 fans in a 6k capacity stadium. Also I missed the carlisle game as I was getting hammered all weekend in London so it will be my first Sturrock experience aswell.

going to be a quality weekend i think.

Last time we played there was awesome

"Swindon fill the ground! SWINDON FILL THE GROUND!"

Good times, even if it was a very average performance!

If I remember, the banter got quite heated between the Swindon fans and the local yoofs in the 2nd half.

I almost walked right past the ground last time around too.  :oops:

The atmosphere in the away end last time was quality and I know saturday will be the same! Can't wait.

Is Monsieur Walford going Sade?

....Ryan?.....yes he is!  :D

Cool... I'll keep a look out and say "hello" to y'all. You drinking in the bar at Plainmoor before the game?

uberus skintius this week, so gonna have to make do with the old wireless.

I'll be going! Closer for me than a home game! Shame Yeovil are in the League above, 10 minute car journey..

Still, there's always next season :mrgreen:

Well, by the looks of it we won't be treated to the joys of Welsh U-21 ACE Joe Jacobson.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jacobson's loan switch collapses

Cardiff City full-back Joe Jacobson's proposed one-month loan move to Torquay United has fallen through.

The Bluebirds say that the deal collapsed when the Torquay chairman refused to sanction the switch.

Wales Under-21 cap Jacobson, who turns 20 this Friday, has not played a senior league match for Championship leaders Cardiff this season.

Jacobson's only first-team involvement this term came in the Bluebirds' League Cup defeat to Barnet in August.

This SwindonUltra moment was brought to you by me!

I'm gutted  :twisted:

I'm wondering why there's so many f*****g Torquay topics!!!!
Why not post your thoughts under one topic?

Lee, Lee, Lee Peacock!

My first ever away game was torquay 3 seasons ago. claaaaaaass.
Cant go to this one though :(  Bloody work

Cant wait to go, we had a good following last year should be better this year with a better atmosphere as it was a bit quiet last year compared to past years at Plainmoor.

Do you know which players Sturrock selected to this game ? I know the game is on Saturday , but the team for this match should be known few days ahead....

He alluded to selecting the same 11 that finished our last game.  Bartek, I'm sure Sturrock knows our team but some managers don't tell their player until hours before kick off, others let them know day in advance, which is effectively what sturrock did tonight,

But I don't mean the first 11...I mean all squad....18 players....

I don't think we even have 18 players to choose from!

Yeah, our squad only has 28 players in it  :roll:

Okay, how many of those are available for selection and how many or NOT yout teamers?

That will narrow it down quite a lot I'm sure

Starting XI: P. Smith, J. Smith, Nicholas, Ifil, Williams, Zaaboub, Weston, Evans, Shakes, Roberts, Brownlie

Subs: Peacock, Stewart, Jutkiewicz, Caton, Pook.

Not sure about the fitness of Monkhouse and Whalley. There's a chance Caton might start on the left if Zaaboub doesn't shrug off whatever he is suffering from.

All but 2, and youth teamers still count.

8) Leaving for torquay soon. See y'all there.

I hope I dont see you!  :wink:

Are you travelling by horse and cart?

They'll be camping outside the turnstile to "make sure they get the best bit of terracing"  :)

 :soapy tit wank:

lots of rain .. hope it aint waterlogged  :fishing:

I was worried about the match being off to, rain is forecast for the rest of today & tomorrow.

It's hard not to rain in England  :P

Its hard not to snow in Poland :wink:

I still find it being all ticket for away fans a bit stupid ... surely if anyone from Swindon didnt get a ticket in advance they would just go in the Torquay end?

So from a policing perspective its completely the wrong thing to do isnt it? :-))(

Yep, it's exactly what will happen. At least those without tickets will get in somehow... I doubt it will be a nasty group of supporters.

It amazes me that in this modern day and age, club's dont have web cams in the grounds with views of the pitch so fans and officials can take a look at condition's when the weather is as inclement as it is!
It would hardly cost a fortune would it?
They could turn them off say an hour before kick off times.

Millom

Don't think the forecast is rain tomorrow, at least not like it has been today.
Spoke to a bloke in the ticket office today, he said we've sold over 1300 tickets.
Should be a good atmosphere.

Does some kind soul want to text me the score tomorrow, as I'll be in birmingham all weekend and far away from any means of finding out the score. Please? :mrgreen:

Rain was bad in Plymouth today but it has cleared up now.

It's not forcast to rain tomorrow in the 'quay.

U shud all start a chant of, 'one andy gurney, theres only one andy gurney'

He's quit, he was shit,
Hewlett's missus thinks he's fit

ANDY GURNEY, ANDY GURNEY

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

looking foward to this one especially with the amount of tickets we've sold. See you all down there tomorrow!  :beers:

Looks like it's gonna be nice down here today! at the moment the sky's clear.
A few showers forecast for this morning, but all cleared by kick off.

If anyone's driving down, set off a little early, as there's roadworks on the M5.

Just had some heavy hail in Plymouth - But it's all cleared up now.

Will be fine.

I'm off to Torquay now -

C'MON SWINDON!

Just setting off now, should be there by 1.30.
Got a really good feeling about today...........

That probably means we're gonna get stuffed!!

 :D Oi you!
All you could hear was your bloody gob in the bar yesterday before the game! :P

That ugly fat kid (not me the torquay one) was trying to be a smartass

:D  I know that was ace. You tell him gaz!

Which one?  8)

the one that smelt like ass.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I thought that was the food they were serving up in there!

Wasn't that you?  :beers:  :mrgreen:
