Would this be allowed under Humza's new hate legislation?

Definitely not knocking their commitment but it's hardly a group warranting a special booklet.

Always best not take these things too seriously.

No problems with that. People that can have a laugh at themselves are ok by me.

Anybody watched the documentary series Losers on Netflix? There’s an episode about Torquay United. Good watch.

I'm sure back in the day when I were't lad, Torquay would play their home games on a Saturday night and you wouldn't get their result till you read the Sundays.
Might be way off, mind.

I might be way off too, but that definitely rings a bell with me.

Wonder what the reason would have been for that?

Good spot but it's a long way home leaving at around 10 on a dark winter's night. It really should be regional leagues down there. Torquay could be playing Hartlepools or Carlisle. Madness.

Couldn't say bud.
Possibly it was their location.
That's if they did play on a Saturday evening. It's just that it rang a bell for some reason.
It was friday night's mate there used to be 16 amateur league's in south devon playing on Saturday afternoon.

In the seventies there were 10 amateur leagues in Paisley plus all ages of juveniles.
St Mirren still kicked off at 3 and I missed most of stopping 10 and two glorious trebles. In the winter our games finished around 4 and strolled down Greenock road and into Love street for a second half freebie.
Torquay probably got more supporters than them back in the day.

According to the Torquay forums it was 7:30 on a Saturday night.
They’re no quite sure why. One reason given was it guaranteed the social club was packed and could book better acts. Another reason given was it gave all the amateur players a chance to get to the game.
Just text my mate who goes to all the home games, your right it was Saturday night so the local amateur players could attend.

I imagine it would be a good night out back in the day. Saturday night games under floodlights.
