Torquay United Fans Forum

The thing is, some items in the report can be done as a quick fixes. Take, for example, the issue of parking at/near the ground. It must be assumed that this impacts negatively on gates. So picking up on a suggestion in the Change at TUFC thread, arranging a Park and Ride car park, add a bus service...

To be clear, we only have a stay of 6 months. Clarke Osborne's statement in the article says he looks forward to 'sharing our ideas with the Mayor and outlining plans later this year'.

We need to keep up the pressure.

Thanks Merse. Looks like it was 26th Sept 64 then based on Brighton being in the division. I'll let the site owner know. Good period that in many respects as you indicated. Politics was however just as unstable as now with Labour winning the GE almost 3 weeks after this match with a majority of 4 se...

So as this is the silly season, here's a photo from the BBC operators site, showing part of the Grandstand set in those heady days of the mid- sixties. But is that Torquay I can see on the scoreboard, and if so, does anyone remember when the Lincoln match was? http://tech-ops.co.uk/next/2016/10/youn...

As an aside, interesting to note that yet again the Herald has disabled comments on the article where they state they're not reporting on GI because of ethics codes. Scared of a little debate? Yes they are scared of debate. The reason is that any business interest can threaten a paper that it will ...

You should be under no illusion about that and neither should anyone be under any illusion it is a very profitable business for them. Osborne is no fool and knows that well before the end of the leasehold at Poole the Borough there will be under pressure to cash in the 'family silver' as all local ...

As promised, I have collected some information on the history of Poole Stadium and Poole Town FC below: The Borough of Poole own the site which was built for the football club in 1933. Poole Town FC built two stands to accommodate over a thousand people during their tenure there. The BoP ‘forced’ Po...

Will do.

I suspect we will find a lot of evidence of proposals put forward. studies done and plans drawn up and some even submitted. but that is all i would expect to find. i doubt even a ...

As well as drawing attention to the immediate plight of our club, this ‘media storm’ has now ensured that any decision by the mayor, any report by Kevin Mowatt/Liam Montgomery, and any general mucking about by the council over the terms of the ACV taken out by the Trust on the Plainmoor ground will...

Signed - now 169.

£250,000 - £300,000 doesn't seem an impossible sum for TUST to raise in the 6 months available if the council decide to sell. £100 per match going supporter. Some may put in more, some less. There could be crowd funding and I'm sure many people in the Bay would put in a bit to help keep the footbal...

Love the comment by 'StillPav' at the foot of the article :

Presumably Torbay Council were impressed by the new stadiums that Gaming International have built in Reading, Milton Keynes and Swindon.

Hold on..."
