Torquay United set for a take over ?

Seems Kelvin Thomas is here until Thursday next week. Still it could be worse. Lincoln City are apparently the latest club in financial difficulty. Their bank - the Co-op - have called in their £380,000 loan. Supporters have started a fund to raise immediate cash but the club could go out of busines...

Matt
Waking up this morning just checking I've watched football matches in my past. Do you mean Nick and Ollie?!

Olivier Gueguen

He helped to keep a clean sheet and so win the match. What else did anyone want him to do?

FA Trophy Quarter-Final vs. FC United of Manchester

Recent posts underline to show football is so much a matter of personal opinion. For me this was a typical cup tie of one team from a higher league playing another from a lower league. Why are we so surprised that FC United raised their game; we would have done the same had say Arsenal been the visi...

A chance to buy Plainmoor?

Just what the heck is going on? From my distance the whole situation about the club is becoming a shambles. Whatever can Mr Thomas be thinking? Just in the week when the focus should be on Saturday's Trophy fixture. As I've said before off-field problems usually affect (negatively) performances on t...

Hypnotherapy

"Hypnotherapy left me feeling 18 again" so runs the headline in today's Non-League Paper quoting Kevin Nicholson's reason for a new lease of life. The article tells about Kev's secrets behind his still blossoming career at the age of 34 as he's not missed a match this season for Kiddermins...

Torquay - bad boys of the Conference?

I trust they gave the same dossier to the refs who 'control' Conference fixtures :)

Wrexham v Torquay

As I thought yesterday Dawson now signed as a non-contract player. I guess he's likely to start tomorrow to allow McQuilkin to fill in for Young.

Wrexham v Torquay

MacDonald a doubt after his thigh injury last Saturday and now Harding who is nursing a hamstring strain. Sign Dawson on non-contract terms to allow McQuilkin to play mid-field?

A chance to buy Plainmoor?

Thank you for that!
Listening to today's HE podcast everything is still up for grabs. I wonder how this is going to pan out?

A chance to buy Plainmoor?

Reading these comments triggered a memory! In the Braintree programme where we lost 2-0 in a lacklustre performance in December there was the following under the caption "10 bits about Torquay United": Plans For The Future: "The club are looking to buy the houses behind the away end a...

Wrexham v Torquay

Although reported 'injured' Cruise was in fact on the subs' bench at Hemel. Might the weather play some part in this fixture?

Read the answer to my own question in the HE online this afternoon. He's still in training but his registration is still held up by tape coloured rouge!

Remembering Roberts ...

Sensible comments as always Chris. Until more firm details emerge it's difficult to form a definite opinion but I'm in the camp with those who wouldn't get too upset if a new ground was built. My over-riding concern is that we still have a football club to support. Although we could give our views a...

FA Trophy Quater-Final

Let's hope FC United players will have their mind on their recently announced fixture on May 29 against Benfica to celebrate their first 10 years!
