Torquay United Fans Forum

Plainmoor78 you have confirmed my own conclusion, namely that we don't have enough "can do" locally based fans to take on the running of the club. I think the fan base on this forum are being a bit harsh on GI for not allowing Nicho to bring in additional players prior to the transfer dead...

OK so we are stuck with GI and we will have to live with the consequences.

I may be well off the mark but this is our current position as I see it. GI are reluctant owners of Torquay United. Torbay Council is obliged to get the best deal in cash or in kind for local taxpayers if it sells Plainmoor. "In kind" would have to be a stadium that at least matched Plainm...

Torbay (and South Devon) needs to think bigger than a scratty little football ground built on the old Barton Valley Tip. A decent all purpose stadium with a capacity of 10,000+ , probably situated in Teignbridge but close to Torbay, with a hotel and conference centre would be a significant strategic...

Don't get too excited.
The Overscrew and Mutiny Committee can only make recommendations but can't make decisions. Any recommendations they make would have to be considered by the Cabinet, Mayor or Full Council st a future meeting.

We all know that there are plenty of issues off the pitch but was is going wrong on the pitch particularly against the lower teams. We have taken 6 points off Dagenham and Redbridge and 4 off the likes of Forest Green and Gateshead but we have been done over twice by the likes of Maidstone and Sutto...

We have got 25 points from games against teams in the current top half of the table and only 10 from teams in the bottom half. Why are we struggling against part time players when we can compete against full timers? Perhaps it is an attitude problem and we don't approach the games with the smaller t...

Successful football teams are built around developing individual players and balanced squads. I thought that Nicho was starting to make some headway last season particularly in defence where Brendan Moore was generally playing well in goal despite the occasional error, Aman Verma was a thoughtful an...

The simple answer to the original question is Yes we can. I think though that we should be more ambitious and aim to raise £1M in total and have a business plan to take us through to 2019 so that if the Football League is expanded we are still in the National League and ready to step up. I would sug...

I suspect that one of the reasons for the delay in the takeover was that IG would have been waiting to find out the result of the mayoral referendum vote in Torbay. The voters of Torbay have decided that they don't want an elected Mayor and the post will disappear in 3 years time. In the meantime Ma...

I for one said at times I wondered where it was all going, I will be the first to say although I fully supported Kevin on his journey there were times where I thought his lack of experience may be his Achilles heal. His achievement should not be under estimated in any circumstances, he has taken a ...

Well done to Kevin and the team for another combative performance today at Cheltenham. It looks like 48 points might be enough to stay up. At the moment 6 teams including us are averaging a point or less per game so 46 games = 46 points or less if 4 of the 6 don't improve during the remainder of th...

We have read the good intentions going into the January transfer window but will we find the players we need? Taking out the loaned who are due to go back to their respective Clubs in January we have only got 6 players who should be in the first team week in, week out. They are Lavercombe, Berry, M...

I was disappointed that one of our former players, Chris Todd, who always struck me as an honest, down to earth footballer condones and presumably encourages the degree of gamesmanship, whinging and back chat that his Eastleigh team displayed on Monday. After their number 10, Reason, resorted to fei...

I am assuming that it is no coincidence that Gaming International started taking an interest in the Club when the possible move to Barton Valley Tip was made public. As owners they would have an opportunity to acquire an entertainment complex including a sports stadia and car parking that could prov...
