I'm of the opinion that the new consortium will keep Hargreaves for the time being and re-evaluate his position once the season gets underway. Last season was just a disaster and best forgotten... however, Hargreaves will have to prove that he has what it takes this season with a squad that he will ...

"There has obviously been a delay over releasing season-tickets, because of the recent talks over the ownership of the club, but we are now in a position to tackle that important issue."


Now in a position eh? Does that mean the ownership saga has been resolved?

Gloryhunter!

Sorry - I disagree. There is no way that TUST alone can finance the club. They have said so themselves. So unless they are part of a consortium/partnership (which I sincerely hope they will be), I can see no point in joining at the present time. However, I do remain optimistic that the club will be...

We can thank our lucky stars it wasn't Whitehawk who made it through... their ground is an absolute hole. Visited it last season and could not believe that it has passed any ground-grading whatsoever. The place is like a bomb site. The pitch slops from left to right and up and down. The 'stand' behi...

Bliddy 'ell ....... 45 years ago !! How time flies. I bet me and Trojan were there and probably Stefano. Thanks for that bit of useless information, WestKentGull (I was going to abbreviate you to WKG but thought some might get the wrong impression !!) ;-) I was more than likely there too TG! for al...

A personal positive... I'll be saving nigh-on £100 by not travelling down for the last game of the season.

07 Feb 1970 Torquay United v Barrow D 1-1 League Division Three

I was there (unfortunately). Think we'll struggle to get 1 vote here, let alone 5.

I'll give a vote to Lavercombe. No chance with the first and his defence just looked like rabbits in headlights for the second.

The rest... well, surprised they managed to tie their own f**cking laces...

A truly awful performance all round. Nice to see Mr Hargreaves sat on the bench before the game, hands in pockets, not a care in the world. I know we had nothing to play for - but, f**k me, show some bloody passion man. What really surprised me though is the number of us who bothered to turn up for ...

for the first half performances only...

Been a while since I've said to my son at a Torquay match that I was 'enjoying it'..... but we both knew deep down that it wouldn't last... and, true to form, it didn't. As mentioned elsewhere, the first half could've seen both teams going in at the break at 4-4... but second half it just wasn't to ...

....woke up this morning thinking it had all been a horrible nightmare. Torquay United 1 Braintree 5 (vidi-printer mode F I V E). Nah, surely not. Just like that 1-8 defeat all those years ago to Scunthorpe, it never happened... then it dawned on me... it DID happen. We ARE this bad. If we continue ...

That was Braintree against Brainless! Unfortunately, I was there for that one. Don't think we mustered any shot of any sort in the first half - I don't think we even ventured into their penalty area. Second half was just as bad.... it was about the 98th* minute before we had an attempt on goal. One...
