Match ticket link for Dorking fans:

app.fanbaseclub.com/allocation/torquay-united/9c2f3596-a3ae-4bed-ad80-0e4d06997858

We have been allocated Block A of the Bristows Bench stand (only)

The link was so hidden away at the bottom of an article on their website!

Thanks David. 
35 quid for an adult and 11 year old 🙄

Yep it's bad isn't it. They don't want to give away fans the terrace if they don't have to because those are £18 adults.

Bet they move our noisy group to it though once they stand at the back and the drum starts.

Yep - having paid the higher prices for seats...

Spaces remain available on the supporters coach - dwfc.ticketco.events/uk/en/e/supporters_travel_to_torquay_utd

Excellent point made by a friend - considering the crowds they get (relative to the rest of the teams in the division) it is a piss take for Torquay to be charging £22 per ticket. 

I know it is a stadium rather than a small ground, and therefore there will be higher overheads, but their matchday operation would be pretty similar to other clubs on a 'per head' basis.

17 supporters on the coach today😬 (£40)

I’m in the terrace. They said we could if we wanted to which is annoying they didn’t sell tickets for it!

@gary-munnery Have they opened the whole of the terrace to away fans or just a section?

@hemelwanderer the whole terrace is open for anyone. There’s a couple of home fans on the other side

Apparently was 14 supporters on the coach, not 17. Not sustainable really, no idea what the answer is to that.

I thought the fans on that terrace were some sort of local school ticket offer, so just stayed in the seats which to be fair are a good view, especially of the far end of the pitch.

@dorking-eagle Moving forward maybe the club should initially put on a minibus - once those seats are all sold and if there is demand for more seats then maybe look at hiring a smaller coach if possible. A quick look on Andersons website they offer 16 and 19 seater minibuses, 29 seater coach then 36-41 and 53/57 seaters so could be an idea

I guess it could be that the club has already negotiated the arrangements for the whole season, for example the team bus for every game, plus a supporter coach for so many, all for one price.

It's just such a hard thing to pitch right, a lot of the youngsters want to travel with their mates by train as that feels grown up to them, they don't particularly want to be on a coach of older folk. Also a lot of longer standing fans have become good mates and can car share to quite a lot of the games. But theres always a small core of fans who rely on it too.
