Club Ownership

I support the idea of Torquay United Supporters Trust being on the board of the club and giving the viewpoint of the fans. I do not support the idea of TUST owning the club. The successfully trust owned clubs have a far bigger fanbase than ours. Whilst I do not have a crystal ball I do not believe t...

Thea Bristow to resign

Surely 25th April home to Macclesfield has to be Thea Bristow day whereby she is presented with a gift on the pitch so everyone can say Thank You. The debt of gratitude we owe this woman as fans of this club is so great that it must not be ignored

Hemel Hempstead v Torquay F.A Trophy

Hargreaves: "McQuilkin will feature against Hemel"

Squad with only 4 on the bench and McQuilkin doesn't feature :whistle:

Top 100 Torquay United Players

Wasn't the remit: "who you think are the best players to pull on the yellow shirt" so therefore it is unlikely that any player who was particularly good will have clocked up too many appearances as they will have been cherry picked by clubs further up the league structure fairly quickly!

Top 100 Torquay United Players

I wonder if an alleged incident involving a palm tree on Torquay Sea Front and the injury that subsequently followed are the reason that Mr Brandon does not feature more highly on the list

Braintree Town.v.Torquay

Without Luke Young this side are devoid of ideas and would finish bottom half of the league, today illustrated this perfectly as from the off Braintree bossed the game, not with particularly good football but just by having a greater desire for 3 points. The first goal for me is a decent delivery an...

Torquay.v.FC Halifax Tue 9th

Rice, Pearce, Briscoe, Young (c), Bowman, Ajala, Richards, MacDonald, McQuilkin, Ofori-Acheampong, Ives

No Berry and Tonge does not play in his place. Safe to say he's on his way at end of the season

FA Trophy

Interesting to see Nuneaton and Grimsby have agreed to settle their tie on the day

To avoid any extra unnecessary games I wouldn't be adverse to doing the same thing

Alfreton Town v Torquay United – Saturday 11th October 2014

I've sat down and thought about this as I did not want it to be a kneejerk reaction to game. It's difficult as after a defeat we as fans feel like we are the worst team in the world and when we win we forge/forgive a lot of mistakes. Tonight we were beaten by a very average Alfreton side. If the gam...

AFC Telford United v Torquay United - Saturday 27th Sept

We should win, that's a given but would like to see O'Achie back among the goals just to keep him ticking over A clean sheet would be nice but am not going to get obsessed with records that mean very little. 3 points here is the aim and avoidance of injuries and suspensions are also more important t...

Torquay United v Nuneaton Town – Saturday 6th September 2014

Whilst I agree that O'Achie and Bowman are the obvious choice to start up top on Saturday, personally I'm not too sure the partnership will be effective as neither have the pace to go in behind the defence, meaning that Nuneaton could play a high line knowing they won't get caught out by the pace of...

Lincoln City v Torquay United - Conference - 29 August 2014

In the absence of a match thread a mere 20 hours before kick-off I have knocked up the following: Lincoln away represents the next game for Chris Hargreaves’ team and the yellow army in tow. It’s a long trip, in excess of 250 miles each way but a win is much needed after 3 draws on the spin. How...

Chapell To Stay?

I'd like to see him be considered as the striker to play alongside Bowman. Is composed once through (one of the finishes at Sixfields last season showed that) and nippy enough to work off the big man, given the question marks over both Benyon and Yeoman seems a no brainer to throw Chapell into the m...
