Torquay and Plymouth are both on 43 points, two points above the drop. Torquay are dropping like a stone, Plymouth are fighting hard. Our final game is Torquay away. Presuming that we are safe by then the result could be crucial for Torquay and/or Plymouth. How do you feel about it? *stuff them, it's their problem, let's win by a bucketload. *we don't win, but Torquay are safe *we don't win, but Plymouth are safe. *results conspire to send them both down Me? In a perfect world I'd like us to win but other results keep them both safe. They're both West Country and easy to reach for (weather permitting) a good day out. Failing that......difficult. I could see Plymouth coming back from the Conference but Torquay might find it harder.
Agree. The Green Army really have had to put up with a lot over the past few years and at least their fans are sticking with them. No offence, but Torquay haven't exactly got massive support and are probably more of a Conference team anyway. We should be looking to score a hatful against them as it's our last game of the season. Look what happened when we got duffed up away at Dagenham last season...we continued as we left off....
If plymouth go down will they be the biggest club ever to be in the conference? I do hope muff stay up iswell, got some good fans and on the FLS they fill their away end most games
I reckon Plymouth would indeed be the biggest club in the Conference (until, of course, you lot join them!!). Luton, Grimsby and Wrexham are probably the biggest currently, and Oxford were big for the Conference when they were down there. It's a difficult league to get out of....
accrington and aldershot for me to go down and plymouth and torquay to stay up. fan base for both accrington and aldershot is poor for me.
BBc text have stopped showing the gates for games played, which is a bit of a shame. Accrington have had at least one gate below 2000. They and Torquay only just managed 2000 for their midweek match this week.

Looking increasingly likely that this won't be a 'pointless' match. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/tables
