Osborne meeting with Kevin Foster MP and Cllr

The Torbay Development Agency are the professional body charged with attracting the necessary investment in to the area so necessary for capital projects that will propel the borough out of the past and into the future. When they have a scheme (s) put to them they need to prepare and submit a report...

Osborne meeting with Kevin Foster MP and Cllr

Merse: are you saying that Osborne snapped up Plainmoor stadium for its potential development value rather than sporting reasons. It was all very insightful stuff and did get me to add two and two together in which I conclude that Osborne wants the Plainmoor freehold on the cheap and Nightingale fo...

Osborne meeting with Kevin Foster MP and Cllr

It only seems utterly clueless if he actually has plans to build one.....he doesn't. Everything CO/GI have presented has been ill thought out, knock offs of other grounds with no business plan, it is literally something a work experience bored 15 year old would knock up. It is completely pie in the...

Go G.O!!

Just to interject here; people are making fools of themselves tonight with their ignorance about lambadaboss ~ he is Kevin Millard who provided Torquay United with Gregory Goodrich and Rodney Jack. He does know what he is talking about and he deserves respect for that and not the asinine lack of it ...

TIME FOR ACTION BUT IT MUST BE LAWFUL.

I'm still up for a fight but the reality is that we are way out of our depth here. Generally, the way to directly impact people like CO is to hit them in the pocket. His safety net is the freehold of Plainmoor for redevelopment and we would be well served to concentrate all our efforts as fans to e...

Player Search - Who Will Turn Up?

It shows just how little confidence anyone has about Owers ( eleventh NS place at Bath) actually being able to get anyone to to turn up let alone of anyone fit for purpose. All managers have got a lot of work to do at this stage of the close season; at the moment the whole football world at our lev...

Just on one other point of issue. You say "let's just leave the manager to recruit and make a judgement once the season is under way". Was that not one of your primary gripes in allowing Nicho to do the same last season. Just asking the question. So many unfit for purpose summer signings;...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Such a good manager he's still out of work eh?

Player Search - Who Will Turn Up?

I've been watching this level of football for a few seasons; have you? It's given me the insight to recognise the type of game you will see; the type of opponent you will see and problems that will be set for teams wishing to come out on top. I see very few 'Football League' levels in it, I see les...

Don't confuse what's required to get the club up from the NLS in comparison to what got us into it in the first place... 'Top quality Football League players' as you describe them won't achieve it for the simple reason that any 'Football League' player poor enough to have to accept playing at this ...

....but left us with a squad riddeld with the sick, lame & lazy that went ten games without a win at the start of the season and so effectively set the agenda for relegation.

Seriously, takes a lot of courage to move so far from “home”, hope his mrs doesn’t get homesick. Know he’s had injury problems but he’s been your player of the season for the last couple of years. What type of player are we getting? Takes a lot of courage to move so far from “home”? You're having a...

Good luck to Exeter City

...they have already appointed Tisdale’s replacement: Matt Taylor, one of their youth coaches and former player. Could be argued they have gone down the #legend route but at least Taylor has some credentials. As long as you have a fit for purpose footballing infrastructure in place then these sort ...

There's no doubt Davies cuts an impressive figure with his physique, silky-smooth running and the manner in which he keeps himself fit after that farcical arrival when he'd obviously not been given a medical nor (it would seem) been put under critical scrutiny by the now departed management and the...
