You may think the rules onerous but they are there for a reason as, in the past, a number of free spending an...

Torbay Council

I think the council have looked after us as best they could given the current financial climate. They weren't duped by Osborne so fair play to them I say. and they continue to do so, this from the Mayor (a good fan by the way) after their meeting last night: I will do all that I can to help and wor...

Torbay Council

I have already written to Cllr. Steve Darling no doubt pushing at an open door as he is a fan. Every local fan should be writing to their ward Councillors to ask for their support. The Council is under a lot of budget pressure so every effort should be made by us to keep them on their toes. If you ...

Worthing v Torquay United - Saturday 27th January 2024

Now Yeovil are miles ahead... Maidstone are big news we will be lucky to claim 5th Spot at best! Yes, Maidstone may not just be big news if they plough their FA Cup income into their team to cement their playoff ambitions (although, having seen the highlights of the Ipswich match I don't think thei...

Dillon De Silva

This is really good news, I was impressed with him last season and remember one goal in particular when he cut in from the right and completely lost his marker with a lovely feint to open up the space for the shot.

Pre-Season Friendlies
