After two years in the uncertain and unforgiving world of Conference football, Torquay United came back up out of purgatory last season. Soap stars, artificial pitches and coaches who couldn’t speak the lingo were all in the past, but their first season back almost ended in relegation again after a run of terrible results.
This year, however, looks like it will be different. They are the last club in England to retain a 100% record, with the obvious exception of Chelsea, and they are the only club at this time to win their first four matches. They only conceded their first league goal of the season in the 37th minute of their fourth game. They narrowly lost in the league cup to a team two divisions higher (Reading) after keeping the game at 0-0 until the 121st minute. Tonight they went through to the next round of the JP Trophy after beating a team from a division higher (Bournemouth, 5th in Division One) on penalties after another 0-0 draw.
The fans will be forgiven for being optimistic and good luck to them.
