Fan behaviour to cost next season

To know that you would have to see all the official reports including the other incidents mentioned in the club statement, I can't comment as i haven't witnessed any incidents, you would need to get the facts from those that have to make a balanced decision..........apart from that it hasn't been co...

Fan behaviour to cost next season

Is that another way of saying a nice bit of overtime for the local police? Well I suppose it depends on whether having your day off cancelled/shift changed or forced to stay on to watch Torquay is your 'thing' So the fee given to TUFC will be the cost price of all the resources required and nothing...

Fan behaviour to cost next season

As a former Police Officer of 30 years and recently retired I can assure you that to suggest its a cynical attempt to make money by the Police is total rubbish. Any charges are used to provide the additional resources required that wouldn't normally be available.........

Club Ownership

I don't get why people think no one is interested in owning Torquay United. There are lots of people out there wanting to get involved and a club with no debt, a half decent little ground and it's own training facilities will tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people. As for the location, well Argyle...

Thea steps down with immediate effect

I applaud peoples optimism for believing a new chairman will be found quickly, I don't think it is that simple to find someone to take over a club in decline, its not an investment opportunity after all, if and who ever decides to come in is faced with the prospect of having to be able to write off ...

Who?

Im sure he's pretty thick skinned, after all if he's read this forum he will know what fans feel........and as someone said on another subject he's been on TV talking about other west country clubs, I'm surprised he has time at the moment with the way things are going........

Who?

It was wrong when Hargreaves was making noises about Knill's job, and it's wrong that Ling is doing it about Hargreaves. As for who we should get, we need to forget about 'previous connections' and just give it to the best man for the job. Actually invite applications, and after interview decide wh...

Annual Cost of Stewarding at Plainmoor

What is your point, Rooster? Mr Candy's post is indeed quite clear as to the facts of the situation. Hector's post, also quite clear and reasonably argued, regarding the number of stewards is, however, nevertheless his opinion. The alternative view that there are currently more stewards at Plainmoo...

Annual Cost of Stewarding at Plainmoor

Postby hector » Today, 11:04 I suspect there are minimum requirements and ratios of stewards per expected attendance. We have a good record but if there was some incident you would need a minimum number to deal with it and organise the crowd to say, evacuate. Of the many disasters that have befall...

Bye Bye Billy?

Sad he's gone but probably for the best, unfortunately we never saw the best of him but like so many other players, have endured difficult times at TUFC , like most players they fit in to certain teams and not others.............he will go on to better things I'm sure........good luck to him
