Potential Buyers
Mid May also means any decent players will most likely already be snapped up and we'll be left with the dross, like the preseason after the Play Off loss.

Torquay United v H&W Sat 20th Apr 3pm
Perfect opposition for a last game of the season at home. They played attacking football, but with no one who could finish and left loads of space for us to exploit. Their keeper pulled off some great saves, we hit the woodwork twice and it could have been 10-5 in the end. Booths goal is something s...

Torquay United v H&W Sat 20th Apr 3pm
Skillsy, Yep, this coming 3 moths or so will feel like forever, hopefully though their may be real enthusiasm for next season. I still love that feeling at 2.55, even though many times this season I’ve left Plainmoor angry, frustrated and humiliated, the great thing about the football season is that...

Well thanks for the Encyclopedia of Sims footballers, yes I meant Sills, as in Tim!

Next season.
If there is decent funding available, then Downes, Sims aren't the answer. Too inexperienced as managers, no real success on the CV. If we have no money, then yes maybe. Nicho is learning at Exeter and I can't really believe he'd come back. Proven manager, but one that embraces new ideas, no idea wh...

Torquay United v H&W Sat 20th Apr 3pm
Most of the players must know it's their last game for us, hopefully they'll still play with freedom and the mindset to put on a show.
Looks like it'll be sunny, looks like lots of tickets have been sold.
4-2 win. Att 3.750.

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.
Can’t leave things too long, otherwise the manager will have to do last minute shopping like we did after the Play off final when most the good players were already snapped up. Definitely an apology from me for whoever it was that stated Osborne, and so us, was being funded by property developers. I...

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.
Where’s the information about a property developer funding Osborne? I assume they wanted the Quinta fields and to build a new stadium, which would have opened up more building opportunities around it? I was one who ridiculed this notion, but am happy to apologise if it is true. Yes, we shouldn’t be ...

Reflections on the 23/24 season
The two pre season friendlies filled us with hope. Decembers second place, we all knew this was a false position. We’d been poor all season, winning games we shouldn’t have. I always felt we’d pick up when the injuries cleared and loans arrived. Although we re-signed a lot of those players from the ...

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.
Jarvis won’t be here next season you’d have thought, I’m sure the consistent fouling and lack of ref protection will convince him to move on, unless we are offering decent money and they can sell the clubs future to him. Although it’s great we have more information about injuries now; for the last 3...

TUST said they needed 150k from us the fans for next next season. The consortium must have proved they could cover that cost regardless if we hadn’t been able to raise the funds, and that’s why they were approved. I’m not sure if we would raise that money though as we struggled to raise 25k just to ...

The statement mentions poor runs and a disastrous season, why would we want him here? The rumours are it could be the Brewdog co owner or the owner of The Range. Evidence is one liked tweet and one person who looked a bit like the other one at a game. Seeing as it's only one preferred bidder, then a...

TUST would be great, but what exactly did they mean when saying they'd need £150k raised from us within a few weeks?
Can they cover this if we don't, as we struggled to get 25k in a month recently.

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.
I can only assume the club are playing down the significance of the game. The players have no stomach for a do or die battle. They also are obviously incapable of working out the points needed and the 'what ifs' themselves, as has been already been recently proven. Any Churchill style speeches to th...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle
Fair enough Skillsy. Most of us can remember the old days where players would be desperate to play every second of every match. Where a bucket of water and a sponge seemed to fix any injury. Players of course need to be protected. It's more frustration really from me, Dawson missed most the season a...
