Racism in Football
How heartening to see the posts from Torregull and Modgull on the positive action taken. Principled behaviour especially when considering racism like this was not treated so seriously in the 80's. I would like to think any gay footballers who came out would now be afforded the same level of protecti...

Racism in Football
Rare for me to start a thread but just an observation on the debate on TV this morning. Flitting around the channels trying to avoid politics I came across Piers Morgan on ITV holding court on the Raheem Stirling incident plus other matters involving racism generally. Morgan was sounding off, drowni...

Torquay United announces board appointments
No matter where the alleged new ground will be - Nightingale being a non-starter from the off - this 'being in a new stadium withing three years' from July 2017 proved to me their process is a farce. A computer generated stadium plan which they plagiarised from Grimsby via India just shows the level...

Gordon Oliver Open Forum Tonight
Having been a regular at Plainmoor since 1962 I obviously have great affection for the place. However, as a multi use stadium the facilities are somewhat lacking for anything other than football. It is surrounded by houses with no parking. I play squash at Torbay Leisure Centre at Clennon Valley. I ...

Gordon Oliver Open Forum Tonight
It is absolutely astounding that a developer backed up by the mayor would put forward drawings such as this. It is amateurish beyond belief. Craigs fag packet description is spot on. What annoys me about all this is that GI and now the mayor are treating the hoi polloi as persons of limited intellig...

Pre-season friendlies 2018
To up the 'sad git' stakes even further. The day Stockport almost won at Anfield was the 30th January 1965. I was at Plainmoor that day watching the reserves. Mike Turner was in goal for Torquay. When the half time scores were put up it showed Liverpool 0 Stockport 1. I commented to Mike Turner abou...

Pre-season friendlies 2018
How lucky Stefano and I were to see a player like Colin Bettany. I was in awe of the man, my step dad was in awe of him. Unbelievably tough, I would love to see Akinfenwa play against him. Bettany had skill as well but goodness, a man of steel. Just look at team photos of him. No smile, a scowl. Ste...

Just a thought & it's only a thought
Jon Gibbes on the other forum has told me this wasn't a new video. This is my reply. Oh OK Jon. I have been travelling the past week and haven't been on line much. Saw a video put on the forums. I thought it was one GI had put together recently. I never saw the original. My mistake and apologies for...

Disabled facilities
Our club may be having bit of a tricky time but some of our most loyal supporters are those who week after week make their way to the disabled section accompanied in most cases by their helpers. Soupdragon has come up with a great idea. She is willing to knit blue and yellow blankets for the disable...

Sorry, it should have read 'anywhere in Torbay' not Torquay.

Just a thought & it's only a thought
I put in a the freedom of information request to see whether anyone had made a pre-application enquiry about relocating Torquay United or any other club specifically at The Willows or anywhere in Torquay. The answer was - no one had. This does not preclude closed door, private talks with the mayor/p...

Survival: Could we do it?
Perhaps Madgull isn't so mad after all. We are +3 from his predictions going into the Dagenham game as he charts our 50 point target.

TUST Updates
That is a superb idea Soupdragon and I will think about this. Someone will need to be on hand to dish them out on matchdays so a bit of a process has to be formulated. What I am hoping is that in the future there will be a dedicated person who looks after the interest of the disabled supporters on m...

I've sent off a Freedom of Information request to Torbay Council about The Willows just in case.
