No. Problem Paul, Happy to help.   Least it clears it up.

Surprised B&G didn’t find it that easy to answer, just as well you two update each other anyway.

Thanks again

Simple answer.... Stephen Cleeve podcast Episode 27.  8.5 mins onwards.   
Though I’m not sure you would class this as official Paul.  However Stephen 100% mentions the 800 figure.

Paul. I don't think anything official has been said about the permitted gate for Torquay only being 800.

Cleeves 1400 statement on his podcast was before the cancellation of the Ladies game (which has been said was going to be the "test" game).

Prior to the cancellation of the game he had appealed to as many supporters to attend as it could  have a bearing on the permitted gate for Torquay (or words to that effect).

Since the cancellation of the game it has been said that ticket numbers could be restricted.

My understanding is that a condition of supporters bring allowed back into watch the games is that a "test" game has to be held first. As the Ladies game was cancelled, we haven't had the chance to hold a test game, hence people mentioning the 800.

I stand to be corrected on this but I don't think the figure of 1400 has been mentioned since the Ladies game was cancelled, and although the figure of 800 has been mentioned I don't believe that number has been mentioned by the Club either.

With regards to other Clubs not selling out, maybe they had not been able to have a test game either, so the numbers were restricted. I noticed one Club (could have been Weymouth) had a declared gate of exactly 800.

Hopefully the above is all correct but be good if others could either confirm or correct me.

 

Thanks. So basically you don’t know officially, it’s an assumption and there is nothing official behind the 800 figure? I’ve only seen 800 mentioned by a couple of people on here so I think I’ll wait to see if anything official is said.

 (has it been officially confirmed @ 800?)

Do you not remember SC saying he wasn’t prepared to continue to fund the club out of his own pocket ?

This season is going to prove difficult enough to compete with a lot of full time clubs and would hate to see a budget cut come into play on top of that.

I have decided to charge £20 for that one ......
