Torquay determined to enjoy their day at Old Trafford
It's been one of those weeks. Our League Two play-off final place against Stevenage was decided on the Friday evening barely a week before the match itself. Cue a flurry of texts to arrange tickets, transport and accommodation. A first trip to Old Trafford for Torquay United should be something of a thrill, especially after the ghastly feeling of deprivation after that defeat to Crawley in this season's FA Cup. It's the place we most dream of playing and, after five Wembley trips in 20 years, we'll rather arrogantly enjoy the change of scene. And, whatever the venue, there's now the opportunity of playing in a division above Plymouth Argyle for the first time ever.Yet there's been a sense of unease in the air during the week. My ticket purchases were as smooth as clockwork but there are reports of problems. Is this online exaggeration – accompanied by the usual theatrical outrage – a significant failing or the normal consequences of systems and people being stretched? There's also the unsettling matter of our manager, Paul Buckle, being linked to Bristol Rovers, with a departure date set for around ten seconds after the final whistle on Saturday. And, from that worry, there's been a fair amount of speculation as to which coaches, players, groundstaff, turnstile operators and corner flags will follow him. But, in the meantime, we can rejoice over being the "United" on the Stretford End having been allocated around 20,000 tickets for that half of the ground. 20,000? The Shrewsbury fan we encountered after last Friday's game informed us, in a display of last-ditch one-upmanship, that they would have taken 40,000 to Old Trafford. This, he explained, was based upon the fact that Shropshire is a hotbed of Manchester United supporters. Ah, but the same has been said about South Devon and one assumes those of a Red persuasion may be otherwise engaged on Saturday in front of big screens in the piazzas, bars and fleshpots of Brixham, Teignmouth and Ipplepen. Old Trafford – without Man Utd on the day they're playing at Wembley – won't feel the same for some now. And, for the Football League, it's a sod's law outcome in more ways than one. Whereas Shrewsbury v Port Vale – not beyond the realms of possibility earlier this year – would have produced a highly-respectable turn-out, the League now has a fixture between two of the less well-supported teams in the division.
