THE DAY OF RECKONING APPROACHES FOR THE GULLS AND BULLS

This week will see the Football League decide the course of action for Torquay United and Hereford United in the wake of the 'Plainmoorgate' fiasco in February.

The incident saw the Gulls field striker Jake Robinson and the Bulls select Rob Purdie when both players weren't eligible to play for their respective clubs.

There has been much speculation about what the punishment might be. Many Torquay followers have been fearing a points deduction, which could provide a serious dent to the Gulls' promotion ambitions.

A similar punishment for Hereford would see the Bulls dragged closer to the League Two drop zone, so the League's could have an impact on the league placing of both sides involved.
