Our League Form under Gary Johnson

I've been watching your progress these last few months... what's changed? Has he used his contacts to bring in good young loan players? Anyway I am delighted you're on the way back and hope - and think - you'll do when next season too. What about off pitch issues? What's the situation there now. He...

Game management

Almost reminds me of under Buckle when we got Guy Branston in for the second half of the 09/10 season and he helped fortify a young raw inconsistent side, resulting in that ridiculous run towards the end of the season when we didn't concede for 7 games (continuing into the next season) and smashed p...

Elections May 2019

United already have a decades long lease on Plainmoor - the issue isn't so much the time on the lease but rather the Council's willingness to talk to Osborne. Any land swap/Council involved decision that facilitates a move to Nightingale Park, absolutely must come with a watertight legal agreement t...

New Stadium for Exeter?

Indoor sports arena for Exeter Chiefs? Given they have a shiny new stadium with incredibly good leisure facilities to serve Exeter execs at Sandy Park, I think not. Indeed. The Chiefs are actually the example that United should be aiming for. What they've done over the past decade and a half is inc...

89th minute equaliser incoming now that you've said that.

Go G.O!!

So who next? Gary Johnson has to be a front runner. Close links to Bristol City (our new found feeder club) with his son now manager of the club his father formely managed. Has over 1,000 managerial games under his belt over a 30 year period. Knows the game inside out; know's how to beg, steal and ...

Mr Owers steps down

:-D It’s better than I thought! Only Dave Webb and Stuart Morgan worse than him amongst managers with more than 75 games (should be noted that Owers never reached that stage), both of whom were manager in that dire mid 80s period, which is probably the closest to the state we've been in now. The hi...

Gloucester City v Torquay United 27/08/18

What convinces you that Williams is capable of scoring regularly at the level above? He averages around one in four during his career, and if you take out his two good years at Aldershot it drops to worse than one in five. At no point in his spells here has he looked like being prolific. Except for...

Gloucester City v Torquay United 27/08/18

I`ll bet Owers secretly is loving "Coffeegate" cos it deflects attention from the inept performance on the field. Yes its inexcusable but its done lets move on. Surely of greater concern is that our 4 strikers, Williams, Reid, Wright and Keating dont know where the opposition net is. We s...

I have it from a very reliable source it was a mouthful of cold tea and not a hot cup of coffee. The individual concerned has owned up and is prepared to face the music. If only the morons with the pyrotechnics were as concerned about the club enough to own up. Why would Owers lie on the record and...

Invite to Season Ticket Holders and Sponsors 31/7/18

Nothing of major interest other than the Mayor said that by May 2019 he wants every sports club in Torquay with facilities to have a 40 year lease... he didn't say how much that lease would cost... so the crowd did not erupt! At one point I thought Oliver and Osbourne were going to kiss... luckily ...

Torquay United unveil huge plan for 10,000-seater stadium.

Torquay United is 100% part of the plan but when full details of the plans are released, I think you will find that the development of Plainmoor is not part of those plans. Osborne knows he is on a losing wicket in obtaining the freehold of Plainmoor so has changed strategic direction. There will b...

The 'Gordon Oliver' Trophy

According to the website Mr Oliver donated the trophy himself. Apparently it’s “massive”... Interesting awakening in him, seems like he's finally been bitten by the Torquay United bug at 70 something. Somewhat less suspicious then, if still a little baffling. Clarke you're off the hook on this one ...
