Next season.

I tend to view far more than I post, but next season, assuming we are still in the NLS, who out of this squad do we realistically 1. Want to keep 2. Expect to leave 3. Still contracted to us Too soon to have this discussion really. We don't yet know who will be in control of the club for next seaso...

Potential Buyers

Ok.. I will repeat myself for one last time as I am obviously not articulating myself very well.. To a certain extent this is somewhat of a pointless discussion anyway if the TUST / Consortium bid is off the table. But should it come back on again if the preferred bidder decides not to proceed, it ...

Potential Buyers

That is irrelevant and a facile comment. Whatever Osbourne's motive was for loaning money and taking ownership rather than forcing administration, it does not negate the fact that the Football Club has continued to operate for a further five years or more. Hitler wasn't a very nice man who invaded ...

I understand the feelings towards Edwards but can someone explain why Mel Hayman is 'disliked' so much to put it mildly? From what I can tell it's being tainted by association. If you're involved with a regime that everybody hates, you'll be associated with that regime regardless of whether or not ...

There's so much money the club have been leaving on the proverbial table in the past few years, mostly through neglect; of the facilities, of the customers/fans, and of the matchday experience. If you make the place more appealing, you'll get more people through the gates, and if you do the matchday...

Hopefully Dawson and Hanson will be back !!!
I would be amazed if Hanson is present today, since he joined Tonbridge Angels in february.

Torquay United v Weston Super Mare Mon 1st

Would agree that Friday was very much a free hit, but the meek surrender in the second half was very much indicative of our season. For the first half an hour we were actually pretty competitive (I thought the better side) but Ash looks incredibly lightweight up there on his own; he had 2 decent cha...

I think I found it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68512186 The TUST said at that time that it was unlikely they would make a bid. I assume now that there are no other suitable bids and it's either us running it, or going bust and to start again lower down the leagues as a phoenix club? Maybe...

Yeovil Town v Torquay Utd Friday 29th 3pm

fully expect us to lose handily, but this is honestly the exact situation where we'll get a result at Huish Park before being terrible on Monday and losing to Weston-Super-Mare

Yeovil 1-2 Torquay

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

It's funny how fans see things differently, for me 17 losses would suggest this leagues been tougher than we thought it would be, even some of those wins in the 1st ten games we rode our luck, Aveley away, Braintree at home etc, Truro at home battered us, even Slough at home, Aveley, Taunton recent...

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

Pretty sure it's not Osborne paying. His statement said he could no longer fund the club. It seems apparent that all of the revenue of from the home games since the announcement - plus whatever has been donated directly to the club - will be used to pay wages come the end of the month (don't know th...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

We are not yet in administration. When, as seems likely, we are the situation may change. But we don't know what the loan or financial arrangements are. Nelson went back almost staright away. Personally I'd be glad for Arkell-Boyd and WJD to stay as long as possible as they are two of our better pl...

think I gave up on winning the prediction league months ago, so Tonbridge 2-5 Torquay
