They've just put something out on Facebook and the OS saying there are less than 1,000 left.

Great to see a picture of Oscar. I always got my programme from him before the game. Always remember being in the tote end when Chelsea and Millwall came down and they started throwing stones and rocks from behind, ahhh the good old days?

Coming from Paignton,Torquay were the first team that I saw back in '64. It's great that he's doing well and the fans seem to have taken to him well after a slow start. Spending my time watching Rovers now but would like to go there sometime towards the end of the season to see them stay up.

My parents moved up from Paignton in 1966 to Staple Hill and Rovers obviously was the closest. I've enjoyed my time watching even if the road has been a bit bumpy. My two sons have followed me and it's great taking them along especially when we go on away trips.

I renewed mine for the East terrace on Monday and got one for my 12yr old (his first one). With names on the data base it was done very quickly. We still haven't got our renewal letters which seems a bit strange as I thought we'd get them at the beginning of the week. My eldest is still waiting although he may get it at the Cambridge game.

As I was born in Paignton it's really depressing to see Torquay being where they are. Truro will be playing their games at Torquay next season as they are getting a new ground! The goalkeeper trains at Wigan during the week and then travels back to Torquay to play. It's all a bit of a farce. Thank god we went up last season as you never know what may have happened if we hadn't.

1966. After moving up from Paignton I had to join a cub pack in Fishponds. Soon after we had a trip to Eastville and went around the ground, changing rooms etc. We then saw Rovers beat Torquay 1 - 0. I was hooked then and have watched them ever since.

I stand in between the dugouts and he constantly complained all the way through the first half about what seemed to be every innocuous tackle made. His assisstants were just as bad. When he did have a good claim for a foul in the second half he said nothing! He was better in the second half but it was very distracting.

I stand just up from the dugouts and although I haven't seen the replay, I felt that the ball moved a lot in the air.

I know I've had 49 years of it, have tried to tell him.

Will need todosomething soon with our current home record. My 11 year old isn't going for a few games as, with the exception of Barnet, he hasn't seen us win this season. We can't do with a drop in crowd and revenue.

Agree. They need to get back playing as quickly as possible. With money lost in the cup this at least gives us a chance to recoup some but only if we get to the final. I'm sure DC will have given them a big rollocking and told them some home truths. He sat for nearly five minutes on the bench at the end of the game, most probably composing himself for the team and the press. It's the angriest I've seen him down there and quite rightly so.

I'd like to see Lucas play on Wednesday. He deserves a chance to show what he can do. He looked ok when he came on against Plymouth. DC was going to put Montano on, then Lucas but when Leadbitter went over Clarke came on.

Notts County were dreadful. The only 'shot' they had was the rebound. This is what will happen to any league team if they don't start at a high tempo mind you County were slow motion all evening.

Chasers, remember when it opened and by top dj Peter Powell. God he was awful.

Hoping that Bodin is back quickly as Harrison is close to being suspended. He's picked up some needless bookings recently and has to learn to control himself.
