It might even have been the start of Torquay's slow decline into non-league football, but I can remember us relegating Torquay once before.
Whether it was called Division One or Division 3 back then I can't remember, but we were doing badly and looking sure to be relegated (it happens so often it's part of our DNA). But towards the end of the season we made what looked likely to be too-late-a-comeback.
Torquay had pretty much been safe all season as I remember it. 50 points was supposed to make you safe. Anyway with Roy-Hodgson like escapology we wriggled free and down in the place god and his host of merrie little angels had designated for us went Torquay. As I remember it they ended up on 52 points and achieved a supposedly impossible and very sad relegation.
Tuesday night after 5 consecutive victories beating us looks like their best chance of staying up. They're two points behind Aldershot and three behind Maidenhead and York. Torquay's two remaining games are Altrincham away and Wrexham FFS at home. If we beat them they'll again be clutching at straws and taking one final breath.
I can't wish that on a nice little club!!!
