When will we be crowned Champions??

Put another way, Woking have to get 2 wins and 2 draws plus any points we get in these last 4 matches to beat us. That will time out very quickly.

I tend to default to railway terminology, where in all cases you go Up to London, even from the North. So to go to Tooting or Mitcham today, we go Up to London then , erm, Down to Tooting.

Simple really. =Z

CO is confusing me!

In my opinion all this needs to be looked at from a business angle. Quite clearly GO is trying to stem the haemorrhage of money which he has been funding to date. Either TUFC has to be wound up or serious money pumped in. He has obviously decided on the latter course and must believe that the Club d...

I am sure the Woking FA Cup match will be the happiest for a long time.

There. I feel better now.

Osborne meeting with Kevin Foster MP and Cllr

Osborne may want the freehold of Plainmoor to do a similar thing as at Eastville - put a supermarket on it. Covenants can be overturned - supermarket chains have big clouts and lots of money. A town near me - Wimborne - has Waitrose on the old Cricket ground. They bought out opposition by providing ...

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

Reading the TUST tweets tonight it seems that there was another example of the distasteful alliance between the Mayor and Clarke Osborne this evening. The mayor took the Mic from GO to say " Plainmoor was not on the agenda" - preventing questions on the subject. It was sickening enough to ...

Torquay v Guiseley 24/04 (PP on 24/3/18)

Through all this nobody in the Club either on the field or off it gives a damn about the money that is taken from fans week in week out. In other areas of business the board would be fired on block by the shareholders and underperforming staff got rid of. Not here, as long as a player puts his togs ...

Gary Owers

In my view there is a very big issue looming before anyone can think about the squad next year. It's simply how much dosh there will be available to run the club. It seems we will keep full time players and Owers will stay. But without doubt income will dive, so unless CO is going to fund an even bi...

I know it's petty and rather futile but they were only 99p.
Not wanting to push you Hector, but when are you going to start building? It's just that I know someone who might be interested.

The Riviera Stadium

Stadia is the plural of stadium. When one is writing of an individual football ground it should be referred to as a stadium. For two or more football grounds stadia would be the correct term. Sorry, but failure to use the correct term annoys me. In Osborne's case it is unlikely that the word stadia...

Torquayunited v FC Halifax 14/4/18

No . Woking are not playing on Tuesday (according to the BBC). So it will go on at least till next Saturday. If Barrow win on Tuesday and next Saturday that will be it.

Maidstone v Torquayunited 10/3/18

We can probably understand how West Ham fans feel, although I wouldn't support their actions. At one point they gathered below the Directors` Box chanting `sack the board` and `you destroyed our club`.
