Staying Up - Relegation Battle

I guess this is more of a question and needs exploring more. Is our catchment area large enough for part time football at this level. As I've said below, I would explore moving training out of area a little. Could we tap into areas like Bristol. Further, a lot depends on the league we find ourselves...

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

I understand Neil Warnock is going to be there tomorrow. I believe in some way we should acknowledge that, he could hold all the cards for our future.

Neil Warnock great bloke

I would love Neil to be involved in a consortium. However, I question why he's spoken out. Does this mean he's not involved.

Aaron Downes Comments Post Tonbridge.

I hope I did not give the impression that I was moaning about aaron, he has inherited the preverbial poison chalice, both in terms of set up and players how we line up on saturday will say a lot about the man and his ability to change things. No mate, not you or anyone. Simply, highlighting the hor...

Aaron Downes Comments Post Tonbridge.

I hear what people are saying about Aaron Downs and his comments. However, I would give him a 'little slack'. Like the rest of us, I am annoyed and not happy with things (understatement of the year). We need to remember he's taking on a huge challenge. Not only is he trying to set the team up and mo...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

My thoughts are as follows. While I accept George Edwards may have a big part to play in a transition to a new owner. His presence does not help right now and detracts from the football. The Aaron Jarvis miss with only the keeper to beat early on should have put us one up. Brett McGavin offers littl...

Points deduction

I'd like to know why the owner put us in this position? Did he not understand the rules? Surely this makes the club less attractive to new owners? Why did he not try to sell the club first before having this intention to appoint administartors??? Quite simply he did not get his away and could not c...

Ex-Gull watch

I believe the point being made here is, is Neil Warnock part of a new investment group. It did cross my mind, it could be possible, but I don't believe so.

Osborne gone!

Like him or not, George Edwards is a key figure at the moment. He is overseeing a number of key day to day activates, essential for the club to keep operating. Further, he may well be representing Osborne in takeover / ownership discussions. New potential owners will be going over accounts, asking q...

Agreed, we share the same thoughts. Just let's all be kind and remember the support we are currently getting from the greater football family.

I understand what people are saying here. Let's be careful what we wish for. We have our own challenges right now, don't wish ill on others.

MOTM - Farnborough

Arkell Jude-Boyd - Showed his pace in getting up and down the flank. A number of well delivered crosses into the box. Ronny Nelson - Big and strong. Won everything. Clearly, not this finished article. Austen Booth - Composed and vocal. good link up with Jude-Boyd and understanding with Nelson Mark H...

Farnborough v Torquay United Tue 20TH

Firstly, it is worth listening to Spencer Day, Farnborough’s managers interview. A great summary of last night’s game. My take on last night was, we are a team short of confidence and lacking in creativity. We were lucky to get a point, could have got all three, but over the 90 minutes got lucky. It...

No, I am pointing out that a full time and part time budget differ. We hear, there is the budget, but can it buy us what we require. The answer is, clearly, not at this current time.
