Torquay United Fans Forum

If we go part-time there is no possibility of promotion. There simply are enough player sin the area compared to London etc. Therefore, a mediocre part-time team would soon see crowds plummet and crowds will be below 1000 and more financial ruin around the corner. It happened in the Roberts era when...

Smurthwaite has had a Devon holiday home for years so it is a possibility and he did turn up to plenty of games according to old copies of the Herald Express. Vale fans have mixed views but they loved him at the beginning dressing up in Smurf outfits. Over the years changing managers, spending a for...

My heart says 2-2 but my mind says 1-3.

I am no longer worried about relegation to the Southern league because there is still a strong possibility we will fold and be a few leagues below that.

Sadly, the debts of wages are very high. Also, according to match reports there are external administrators already in the building. Their job is to assesses what can be sold etc. Getting rid of players is obvious to lessen the wage bill. A hidden cost is that the administrators charge huge fees for...

As I understand it the players contracts are up once you move in admin. Jarvis and co will move on. Admin will bring a points reduction so we could be relegated. A full time team costs a fortune so we are doomed for several years. A fan based takeover went sour when it happened a decade ago and who ...

The louder fans have been demanding Gary out and the owners should leave the club. Their dreams have come true.

If nobody can afford to take over the club what difference will a protest make except create a toxic atmosphere? If 30 fans remortgage their homes that would be a start but as we we all moan about a few pence added to the beer prices, nobody is going to raise any money. “We are talking about a small...

Worthing v Torquay United 0-1

The result will send some fans mad and the chants of Gary out will multiply. Then again, some of the most vocal seem to support Premier league teams first and Torquay second.

The club simply doesn't generate much money to cover its costs. It is all very well hoping that tradesmen would volunteer to help out but there is no evidence of that and it is very unlikely. Fans moan if a pint is a few pence more in Boots or tickets prices a few pounds higher each season so why sh...

0-1. I sometimes wonder when people were happy with the manager? People easily get annoyed and frustrated but in the last ten years when was everyone content? Kevin Nicholson is a lovely guy but relegation battles and no experience was hardly fun. When were fans happy?

2-0

I watched the press call. It was fine what do you expect him to say if some supporters shout abuse?
I think if you are personally offended by such a harmless line you really need to get out more.

For the Chelmsford fan who wants to go to a family friendly pub before the game then I can give you the same response that you received on TalkSport. Boots and Laces which is attached the the ground. I would also highly recommend a pre match meal in the Torquay United restaurant over looking the pit...

Lets panic in a few weeks.

Am I missing something or have we played just 2 games? Get a grip! Neil Warnock taking over Torquay in recent years was and is just nonsense. He was and is on big money and that is the way it goes. Mike Bateson nostalgia is nice and he meant well most of the time. However, we did end up bottom of th...

It is the 18th(!) (or 20th according to the Southend fan) winding up order that Southend have faced under its current owner. He always pays at the last minute. It does mean that Southend keep all their best players for a season. If the general staff and taxes were paid on time then the experienced p...
