Braintree v Torquay United

Pleased to see Dan Lavercombe in the team of he day in the NLP.
Keeping a clean sheet and being recognised for putting in a good performance will have done his confidence the world of good.
Well done Dan.

Ben Gerring

Pleased to see that he has been offered a contract to the end of the season (WMN) I thought that perhaps he tried a bit too hard to do well last week which may have lead to Lincoln's third goal but I do admire him for not giving up when he was rejected at 18 and taking the opportunities that he has ...

Next Manager- confirmed: Kevin Nicholson

LWhat's gone has gone. Hargreaves was always a bit of a loose cannon. Cox is a bit of a one trick pony. Play three centre backs to provide cover for the least mobile one who has a long throw that can create chances to score. Pretty dour stuff to watch. Nicholson is more likely to encourage football ...

Gulls leave Seale Hayne training ground

Let's get real about this. It was always a poor location and it was only rented on an informal basis. We needed it to maintain our academy status but the academy never achieved it's main objective which should have been to produce a steady stream of potential first teamers. Very few of our home prod...

Commercial activities

Just to put my original post into context. We have a population of 250,000 in our catchment area. Probably less than 10,000 of them have been inside Plainmoor in the last 5 years? That leaves 240,000 locals who probably cannot visualise what Plainmoor is like other than what they see if they travel ...

Barrow v Torquay United

A butcher I use in St Marychurch tells me that "a TUFC player" who uses the same shop says "most of his team mates are there for a jolly". That's what happens when you scrape the barrel for talent. Days like today would seem to confirm this. This comment highlights the need to e...

Mid Season review

There are a lot of emotions being expressed on the Site this evening ranging from deep depression to stoical acceptance of we are where we are. There is even some very limited optimism. We are nearly halfway through the season and the reality of our situation is 1. We have a new Board and Chief Exec...

Commercial activities

IThe Club seems very focused on promoting commercial activities and there is always at least one new news item on the Website each week. The problem is that the news items are only reaching the same audience, the usual diehard supporters, and not reaching the wider public. If the Club wants to reach...

James Hurst suspended by club

I am concerned that we are expecting a lot of Nico in regard to employee management. Whilst he is a sensible level headed guy who has maximised his own talents to the full and used his initiative to become a bit of a health and fitness guru he is only 35 and short of life experience. I wonder what s...
