A tale of Derek Dawkins and teenage days
I've told this story before on Devon Live but thought I would share it here too - a tale of how Torquay came to be my lower league club and how I ran into trouble pretending to be Derek Dawkins. Never got to see him actually playing in the flesh but then having been at a few games this season, not s...

Truro v Torquay to be played at Meadow Park, Gloucester
Thanks but the one who truelly deserves a medal is Paul Bastard. He has been attending all the games for years. When I pointed him out to my boy, at one particularly dreadful game, and explained he had been attending all games for eons, my boy stated " no wonder he's known as poor bastard"...

Would be very happy with a visit to Welling. Up the road half an hour from me.

Pre Season
Thanks for that.standupsitdown wrote: ↑23 Jul 2021, 19:00 Details here.
Should be easy to obtain but need to buy in advance.
I imagine Plymouth will bring a fair few so should be decent crowd for that one.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but it's a story I've been meaning to write for a long time about my early days of following the Gulls. - https://www.devonlive.com/sport/dude-en ... nd-5654753

Pre Season
Quick question - how hard or easy is it likely to be to get tickets for the pre-season games? Thinking of visiting Devon next week for a few days and would like to see one of the games.

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO
Don't think anybody can have sour grapes about the result but facilities are far from standard of many clubs in top 4 divisions. Solihull looked a good side and in light of full season I dunno if this will seem that awful a defeat even if it could have been a better scoreline. Too many silly mistake...

Billericay Away - Tickets
Just posted this on another thread as well but might be more appropriate for here - Does anybody need a ticket for this game? I bought one but now can't go because of a combination of reasons. If anyone needs a ticket for free email me at paulbbreen@hotmail.com - I am happy to give it for nothing as...

If anyone needs a ticket for free email me at paulbbreen@hotmail.com - I am happy to give it for nothing as long as the person who gets it is definitely going along to support the team. Just ...

Welling Utd v TUFC 16th February 2019
Yep, Woolwich Arsenal is an option or you can go to Charlton station and get the 486 bus. If you are coming via Central London the Charlton/486 combination is actually faster. Will be there on Saturday and hopefully bringing a few people along. If you haven't been before, Welling has a very relaxed ...

Next season's opposition
Being based in London and following Torquay's fortunes these past few years, I am looking forward to games against Dartford, Welling and Dulwich depending on dates of the matches. Brother in law follows Dartford and says their standard is surprisingly good. Maybe too, some of their fans would rather...

THE REAL GREAT ESCAPE, BRYN THE POLICE DOG ETC, 30 YEARS ON. (Has much really changed.)
They were doing the conga down near the clock tower. I know Mario Walsh is now a PE teacher as a few years ago I sent him some torquay united stuff from the 1987 season. Yep tom Kelly never did seem to age , not seen him for a long time but last time looked 21 still. Loram was the class in that squ...
