Torquay United Fans Forum

Speedway is hardly a popular sport and greyhound racing is dead. . And Conference/Southern League football is alive and kicking? I take your point, but remind that British Speedway as a sport is no way dead and has currently a five year deal with Sky Sports, which we all know equals big bucks. As f...

Whilst being overtly critically of the way the club has been run over the last few years, I am somewhat optimistic about this takeover. Gaming International Ltd does currently run low budget sport stadia with greyhound racing and speedway. If the American deal goes through I can see a new stadium be...

Club buyout - ground share scrapped - will there be a Plainmoor next season?

Uh, maybe the prospective new owners have said they want it to stay private until complete. That would be a good reason. Accept your point but will have to agree to disagree - aside from a possible great escape the place is still foaming with frustration as the most irrational, eccentric, self-defe...

Phillips says. "I would love all the fans to know exactly what was going on --- (thats kind of him) ---, but that's just impossible." Why is it impossible? What is there to hide? Its not like we a top premier league side - were in the relegation zone of the conference league - so why imple...

You don't have to love CH. He's a football manager not the Messiah! As long as his coaching style focuses on the long term development of the team and creates depth to the squad to become a long term success, that will do me. What about getting it wrong, well losses can strengthen TU's game plan. Si...

Tomogull - West Ham did not like being at the seaside in January 1990, when in the 77th minute a goal from teenage substitute Paul Hirons proved to be enough for Torquay (L4) to claim a famous scalp in the third round of the FA Cup. Apparently became disillusioned with the game and now spend his tim...

I know I'm heading back into time (the year England won the World Cup 1966) when John Bond (West Ham) joined us. Renown for his ability as a goal-scoring right-back he did not disappoint. He was referred to as 'Muffin' because of his ability to kick like a mule and did not disappoint scoring 12 crac...

I would slip Cruise to central defence, bring in Ives and play Pearce up alongside Bowman. Madman or Genius ?

Dartford match had more than 100 - I would estimate 180/200

You have to earn MOTM and I do not think any player was deserving on today's performance., but I will credit the defence for going 556 minutes without conceding a goal.

Duane Ofori-Acheampong (Radio Humberside made him MOTM for the Gulls.)

103 TU fans at Grimsby - well done to those and dont they have a great match to watch

Radio Humberside reckon O'achie is the danger man - holding ball really well and allowing forwards and midfield to attack.
