Torquay United Fans Forum

The trust is indeed the fans representative of a consortium, but that consortiums bid has fallen by the wayside, I'm guessing through a lack of money. Other trusts have done well, and other teams play in the premiership! That is incorrect. The TUST-led consortium bid has not fallen by the wayside t...

Remember that in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century if you said football to anyone in Torquay they would assume you meant Rugby football - the more popular code locally. This was still just about the case when TUAFC was formed in 1921. Football notes in the Torquay Times would start wit...

If you have searched youtube for old TUFC video, you will have seen loads posted by Westyorkshiregull - Andrew Holland. I was shocked to find out that he has passed away at the age of 40. It would be good if fans could celebrate his life and his love for TUFC on the day of his funeral on May 5 by wa...

"In 2016-2017 United spent £303,733 more than they earned, but that loss was all but covered with the help of £296,653 of ‘loans written off’ by Riviera Stadium Ltd" Interesting. Is Osborne really 'giving' money to the club? I'm surprised :) Unfortunately, the far less surprising answer i...

Untrue.

Woods and Hodges were at centre back, Wroe and Hargreaves were centre midfield.

I guess that list just isn't very up to date. Either they were transferred else where or The Queen now owns 170506 shares in TUFC! Phil is correct. The Queen owns 17% of Torquay United. Mick Sadler was entitled to claim these shares when Roberts' company was dissolved, but did not bother as the sha...

Plainmoor Limited owns just under 75% of Torquay United Association Football Club Limited. Thea Bristow, Dave Phillips, Mervyn Balson, Harry Kerswell and Angela Richards each own 20% of Plainmoor Limited. Phillips, Balson, Kerswell and Richards did not pay for their shares. They were gifted to them ...

Those who may strongly want or not want to see Plainmoor handed over to Gaming International can email their thoughts to the mayor Gordon Oliver:

This was over a century ago! Torquay Athletic were kicked out of Plainmoor twice - in 1887 and in 1904 - to make way for the builders. In 1909, Torquay Council would not match the price offered by property developers but the Vicar of Ellacombe, Rev. Percy Baker, saved the day by raising £500 from l...

Very interesting latest communication from TUST. The club is desperate for capital. James Mathie is the leading authority on clubs raising capital from community share issues. He put together the deal that saw Newport County raise nearly a quarter of a million quid within a few months. TUST paid his...

Francis Clark "resigned" on 29 October 2014. Darnells signed off the 2013/14 accounts on 27 March 2015. It was the club's decision to change auditors based on cost. Darnells has an advertising board at Plainmoor. The Annual Return failure is incompetence - nothing more sinister than that. ...

Yes.

I spent a long time with Bill Phillips trying to get the right and best solution for our Club Do you feel l should not disclose any further info ? Can you please explain why your "best solution for our Club" is entirely dependent on the club owning the freehold to Plainmoor? Can you also ...

Thanks to Steve Breed for putting this up so promptly:
