Staying Up - Relegation Battle

Important match tonight, Truro v Eastbourne (at Gloucester). Given that Truro have the same points as us but 5 games in hand I think we want them to win. If Eastbourne win they'd only be a point behind us. Of course if we don't gain at least 6 and probably about 9 points, then there's not much point...

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

It was reported back by a number of fans at Tonbridge Saturday that our team turned up in their cars Saturday and not on a team coach, well this sums it up, and a certain poster who still try's to paint Clarke Osbourne out as a white knight, well for you know who this tells CO is 'not' still paying...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

More or less the same players were in a play off position for the first half of the season.
Since Christmas we have achieved relegation results.
What has changed?

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

Today’s results have given Welling and Truro a big step to safety, and brought Eastbourne into a position from where they have a reasonable chance of staying up. Table now - Played Points Welling 38 43 Torquay 38 41 Truro 33 41 Taunton 34 40 Dartford 38 38 Eastbourne 38 37 Havant 38 29 Dover 38 22 W...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

Jarvis should have scored early one but apart from the goal that was the only real chance we created. We had a lot of the ball and if it weren’t for our appalling defence a draw should have been the result. A good number of Torquay fans there (200 or so?) but strangely quiet. And I agree that Hall s...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

It's a Kent derby today.
It would be very helpful to us if Maidstone could beat Dartford.

And a word of caution: Angels' fans do like to do the traditional non-league thing and swap ends at half time (which I 100% agree with) so don't be surprised if the stewards/security ask you to move at half-time.
We didn't move at half time last time. The locals moaned a bit.

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

A reminder for anyone travelling that the M25 is closed east of the M3 junction this weekend. The diversion will add a lot of time to journeys - as will alternative routes from Torquay.

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

Sadly we now have to consider what will be needed to stay up. This is the current table. Team Played Points Torquay 37 41 Taunton 33 40 Welling 37 40 Truro 32 38 Dartford 37 38 Eastbourne 37 34 Havant 38 29 Dover 38 22 I think we can assume that Dover & Havant are pretty much down, so we need to...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

Highlight of the game was Pop Side banter with the Lino with dodgy haircut.

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

Didn’t make a clear chance and gave away three goals with poor defending.
I fear relegation if we have ten points deducted.

The Play Offs

They have a lot of games to play now in a short space of time..... Think they will struggle with those games tbh.... True, but Taunton are picking up more points than expected. Surprising win at Worthing yesterday. Tuesday's game could be very important if a points deduction is still a possibility.

The Play Offs

I’ll put this in the play off thread but that doesn’t mean that one win says it’s suddenly a realistic possibility and in the hope that we don’t need a relegation thread. With ten games to go, assuming the club still exists in its current form, we could theoretically be in one of three different lea...

Taunton Town.

Taunton unable to pay wages. Not looking good for them.

Finances

This is an over-simplification but maybe a starting point: Osborne was putting in roughly £1 million per year to keep the club going full time and attempting to compete / win the league. That’s £20,000 a week. There are five home games left until the end of the season – two months. To cover costs un...
