Torquay United Fans Forum

Absolutely agree with Louis and have given the problems and threats caused to free to use sites like this and BTPIR big publicity on the site that I Admin this afternoon. Better still; uninstall AdBlock and boycott the Herald Express site! Read more: http://thelondonlabia.proboards.com/posts/recent#...

I'm sure merse will re-evaluate, but at best with everybody paying £10 entry, that's only generated £4700... Well everybody didn't did they; I paid £6 and £1 for my son and there were plenty of other concessionary aged fans there ~ you can knock a couple of grand off that I'm sure and the Brightlin...

That's because in any Football Association match where the receipts have to be shared; no free admission is allowed and therefore the £1 for U12s is a token charge. Admission prices need to be agreed mutually between the competing clubs and it is not unknown for higher charging visitors to insist o...

Why do you have to come over as such an idiot when it was not I who initially steered the thread in that direction? You merely exasperate the view of some that this forum is inhabited by 'kids' incapable of seeing beyond the matches and cannot really comprehend an intelligent discussion. There are ...

George Edwards is now the Operations Director responsible for running Torquay United and directly answerable to Clarke Osborne... He was also a director of Tee Jay Leisure between 1997 and 2008; a company that operated a golf course at Ingol, near Preston and another at Thoulstone Park in Wiltshire...

I don't want an owner to be emotional; I want him to be objective.

I want him to act in the best interests of the major stakeholders ~ the supporters ~ and to be successful at it.

Unfortunately we had too much of the former in the last two ownerships and none of the latter.

This is a different kettle of fish from his enterprises at Poole and Swindon and in the case of speedway he's always accommodated that dying sport within the footprint of greyhound racing which in itself is hardly in a healthy state nation wide anyway. His 'footprint' at Reading still lays empty and...

If you are a major tax payer and own many companies, it makes sense to invest in the weaker, loss making ones thereby utilising one's capital in one's own interest rather than hand it over to the tax man. If Clarke Osborne is ever to get a return on his acquisition of Torquay United and cannot get t...

...in the case of Colonialism and exploitation this is a matter of FACT not opinion Well said; and as I always say ~ if you don;t like the message don't shoot the messenger... The truth often hurts; and in the case of Colonialism and exploitation we are still living with the ramifications and legac...

What the hell has this got to do with football? The conversation swung to an African country and evolved from there... If you've only got the capacity to read/post about football then if that works for you; fine. Others have a wider spectrum of 'conversation'; sorry if it leaves you unable to join ...

They're playing an Isthmian League Premier game at home to Potters Bar Town this evening ~ the gate is 88!

There must be a time when we say enough is enough, it happened centuries ago, get over it. Really? Pleased for you living in your cosy world; try saying that to someone who's heritage derives from all that. Try saying that to someone who had to gather a bag and flea for their life at twenty minute'...

The book 'Heart of Darkness' is worth a read about the Congo. The author Joseph Conrad raises questions about imperialism and racism by creating a parallel between what the author calls "the greatest town on earth", London, and the Congo as a place of darkness. Heart of Darkness suggests ...

He's just 18 ffs!

Would that have been meeted out to Olaf Koszela?

Could be wrong though also heard of Congo and The Congo!Sorry diverting from football! There should never be a reason to apologise for deviating from football..... 'The Congo' is a region of Central Africa derived from the location of the River Congo which has Brazaville the capital of the Republic...
