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

Aaron Downes came over and spoke to some of us before the game. He said that because of the M25 closure the cost of a coach was about the same as a hotel. They asked the players which they’d prefer and they chose cars plus hotel rather than coach. So the club still found the cost of travel but for ...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

How long is a club allowed to remain in administration? A set time or until the administrator feels there is not going to be a new owner??? And at that point we start a phoenix club at the bottom of the pyramid? I believe it's 18 months or not more than 2 consecutive seasons, but must be remembered...

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

Gone with this one early as title says, we have Devon Day at Plainmoor Saturday, it is reported that a number of both Plymouth and Exeter supporters are coming in support of our club, what sort of numbers who knows, and while we are all thankful and grateful to any fan from another club that lends t...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

No administrator worth their salt is going to come into a football club and cut playing staff, for a start if TUFC does fully enter administration then 'the football creditor rule' applies meaning all contracted players owed money become creditors of the club, no1 in order of priority, can only pres...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

We saw Chris Hargreaves tried at CB didn't work, if Hall isn't fit for 90 mins certainly wouldn't be putting him at CB.

However do agrre regarding Tomlinson, and the point about a return to a back 4.

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

What's required now is nothing but a siege mentality. Whilst I hope for a complete new beginning I do have a degree of sympathy for Downes, what's gone on before he became interim manager may not be totally all his fault, we don't know how hamstrung Downes was under GJ, how many, if any of Downes id...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

To follow up on that, there is a much bigger picture in play here. Last night I stood on the popside with my son and a close friend, been long time since I felt that embarrassed and ashamed of the teams performance, I think all of those who didn't follow last nights events either on the radio or liv...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

We are in dire trouble on and off the pitch, teams have good periods and bad, but if you support a club you stick with it through all.. It’s obvious we need a total restart next season. I expect if we still exist, there will be only 3 or 4 players/staff still here from this season. Anyhow, I’ll be ...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

Where in there was prediction league mentioned, people were saying what they thought the score would actually be as you did, everybody bar two said a win! Some 5-0’s in there! Crazy! And you couldn’t see tonight’s horror show, then whole season as been a horror show! At this moment item time you wa...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

Right onto tonight's performance, how does any of us pick the bones of that ? being honest Tomlinson and Collins deserve 0/10, I'd give the rest of the outfield 1/10 the only one I'll let off is Halstead what's any goalkeeper supposed to do when all 10 players in front are playing so badly. I've enj...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

Well lets get the whole prediction league thing out of the way first. The prediction league is meant for a bit of fun, not really to be taken that seriously so maybe some need to lighten up a little. I went 3.1 win on the strength of an unbeaten run although mostly draws combined with a good win v D...

New Revenue ideas?

There is a reason why almost all clubs at our level are part time, thinking of going part time or have financial backers. The model you outline above is rose tinted spectacle stuff....it it were that straightforward, all clubs would be doing it. Most clubs at level do not already have a full time p...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

one I'd like to add to my opening post. I think if the players didn't know, they certainly do now, for an extended period of time this season they've unfortunately been like pawns caught in the crossfire between the clubs ownership and the fanbase. What will help them going forward is, they now have...
