Hardly surprising - as access is only through the Family stand and also, therefore, for those in Bristow's Bench and the Pop side - all for home supporters only!

The survey was mostly designed to achieve the answers that GI wanted and was often ambiguous. Did they mean parking at the ground? (clearly a problem as TUFC do not own the few spaces that are there). If they meant street parking, then really not a problem. Would it be better at a new stadium - inde...

Take, for example, the issue of parking at/near the ground. It must be assumed that this impacts negatively on gates

What issue or problem!? - has anyone not been able to find street parking within 5 - 10 minutes of the ground?

A time to say goodbye to the entire squad and management ~ whatever you think of them I think that would be not only harsh but also self defeating. Of course it has everything to do with if we stay up, remain full time and if there is a reasonable playing budget but, at National League level, playe...

So Marsh put in a transfer request because he wanted to leave! SO WHAT! He was under contract and if he refused to play or train, then no need to pay him (breach of contract). If he just went through the motions, I suspect that other clubs might not have been keen on signing him at the end of the se...

Well dannyrvtufc4life, he was prepared to advertise the TUST meeting at the Museum in his weekly Community E-mail (around 3,000 subscribers) before he was elected and has already asked a question in Parliament specifically mentioning the plight of clubs such as TUFC concerning the non-funding by the...

Well, at least there is one person with serious business experience (Mark Bowen), one who knows about football (Dean Edwards), one who is a very dedicated fan who tells it like it is (Steve Breed). Let us hope that the other 7 are also "gems". One thing that can be said, they have put thei...

Well, this part of the statement from Bill Phillips really tells us where "his" priorities lie and where we are at present (the rest is worth reading, if only for the scale of the unbelievable attitude of the so called men in charge). TORQUAY United are hopeful that a deal will be complete...

Kevgull, As far as I am aware, the bond of £ 250,00 is only required by the Conference IF they consider that the Club does not have a realistic business plan and resources to complete the season. Clearly, the way things are going, that could well be the case. Even if TUST had this sort of money (whi...

I wouldn't mind CH watching from the Gull's Nest with a decent bottle of red wine to keep him company if he could achieve even half as much as Eddie Howe has achieved!! After all, successful management is supposed to be about team selection, tactics and what they do during the week on the training g...

RoadGull,

You make a very good point - and one that I hope that the TUST mught be able to help with and have some input - but it will, of course, depend on the attitude of the new owner(s).

BayGull, You seem to have not realised that at the last home game, ALL supporters entering the ground were given a leaflet by the TUST to advertise TUST and the meeting - if you were not there and want a copy I can get one to you. Links to the TUST website were on it, so it can hardly be argued that...

Nick - isn't Bruce Rioch also available and living close to the Tamar now?

If Wiki is right, he has quite an impressive overall win/draw over loss record in management and surely still has some good contacts.

sidcupgraham, No need to pre-purchase tickets! - it will NOT be a sell out and you can pay on the gate. They give you a numbered seat ticket but you can more or less sit anywhere (except in a season ticket holder seat). But, you might be expecting a little too much if you expect us to give Dartford ...

"a player who CH failed to get the best out of, and that could have been down to homesickness maybe, and partly down to how he was managed ." I suspect that the way that he was "managed" and hardly used as a regular player is the main reason why he has left. It would not surprise...
