Yeovil Town v Torquay Utd Friday 29th 3pm

Its going to be a long afternoon, if Dawson, Jarvis and Marshall are fit, a 3-0 loss
If they’re not, a 6-0 loss.
6000 with 650 from Torquay, including me.

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

Keep Collins? Have you seen him, he’s been hopeless all season. I’d imagine Dawson was originally only meant to miss maybe the first month/6 weeks of the season, who knows what went wrong. At least a few players would have signed two year contracts at the beginning of the season, seeing as Johnson a...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

Booth must have been offered 2 years to persuade him to go full time. TBH, would Lapslie, Dawson, Stubbs and Ash have signed one year deals only? Maybe they signed two year deals but with a ‘if no promotion Clause’ written in. You’d assume Hall and Moxey were only offered one year deals though. Jarv...

MOTM - Hampton & Richmond

One of those days that’ll stay with you for a long time. Moxey - that goal line clearance was spectacular and so important, it felt like he won everything and popped up everywhere. Hall - I thought it was a big mistake when I saw he was playing him at the back, but he did a fantastic job and proved ...

Ahh, thanks for that

I knew it was Dons last game for us and thought Warnock took over from him.

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

What’s the point in a ‘I told you so’ post Mini?

With Osbourne and Johnson In charge we’d have had 1600 here today and a club that was dying slowly. This way we will live with a new owner or die and start again. We certainly wouldn’t have had 3000 odd there today.

Neil Warnock great bloke

He's a marmite manager. If he's yours, you love him, the opposition, you hate him. From what I remember, (though I don't trust my memory much anymore) we'd played well but ultimately lost 4-3 at Argyle and then had been abysmal in that 1-8 defeat to Scunthorpe. Those defeats seemed terrible until th...

Potential Buyers

So not quite all tits up. £20k a month will see us able to pay all employees. We need as much money as possible from the last 3 home games to help us through to May. There must be someone who doesn't have the funds to buy us but could give us enough to keep going. Also shows how much the snake Johns...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

I’ll take a guess that we did ask for a fee, they said no and would instead just wait for his contract to end (I’m guessing June). We’d have been stuck with a player who didn’t want to stay and didn’t want to get injured. Maybe the money saved helped sign Booth?

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

Unfortunately I wasn’t born in Manchester or London, so Torquay are my team. I understand the frustration, anger and humiliation of this season and previous ones. Losing at home to teams I’ve never heard of is humiliating, however surely you support your team through good and bad, even the really ba...

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

Guess we'll find out on pay day.

The official amount raised is £20k plus whatever gate receipts are profit. The wage bill has hopefully dropped.

You saying Osbourne is still paying?

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

We’re trying to implement a new style of play totally different from the way we’ve played for about 3 seasons. Unfortunately the playing out from the back is so pedestrian and with no players giving them options, that by simply pressing them it ends up with the ball given away or headed into midfiel...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

I certainly agree Saturday has become a difficult day, used to love seeing the ground and that 2.55 feeling. Can't blame anyone for not wanting to waste their Saturday, but am also very aware we may be able to count the last remaining Torquay United matches in it's 125 odd year history, on two hands...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

Has to be Booth and Marshall at the back. We need physicality and these two, if nothing else, won't take any bullying, and will win the headers that cost us Tuesday.

Hopefully 60 minutes at least from Dawson and Lapslie.

0-1 TUFC. We have to get a clean sheet sometime.

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

Agree, Collins and Tomlinson have been very poor, and must be dropped. Ash runs and runs but he has to get his half chances on target. Booth must be put back in his favoured position as centre back alongside Marshall. Least we’d have some physical presence in defence then. Dawson will hopefully be a...
