Torquay United Fans Forum

That is irrelevant and a facile comment. Whatever Osbourne's motive was for loaning money and taking ownership rather than forcing administration, it does not negate the fact that the Football Club has continued to operate for a further five years or more. Hitler wasn't a very nice man who invaded ...

Welling 2-4 Torquay

I understand the feelings towards Edwards but can someone explain why Mel Hayman is 'disliked' so much to put it mildly? From what I can tell it's being tainted by association. If you're involved with a regime that everybody hates, you'll be associated with that regime regardless of whether or not ...

There's so much money the club have been leaving on the proverbial table in the past few years, mostly through neglect; of the facilities, of the customers/fans, and of the matchday experience. If you make the place more appealing, you'll get more people through the gates, and if you do the matchday...

Hopefully Dawson and Hanson will be back !!!

I would be amazed if Hanson is present today, since he joined Tonbridge Angels in february.

Would agree that Friday was very much a free hit, but the meek surrender in the second half was very much indicative of our season. For the first half an hour we were actually pretty competitive (I thought the better side) but Ash looks incredibly lightweight up there on his own; he had 2 decent cha...

I think I found it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68512186 The TUST said at that time that it was unlikely they would make a bid. I assume now that there are no other suitable bids and it's either us running it, or going bust and to start again lower down the leagues as a phoenix club? Maybe...

fully expect us to lose handily, but this is honestly the exact situation where we'll get a result at Huish Park before being terrible on Monday and losing to Weston-Super-Mare

Yeovil 1-2 Torquay

It's funny how fans see things differently, for me 17 losses would suggest this leagues been tougher than we thought it would be, even some of those wins in the 1st ten games we rode our luck, Aveley away, Braintree at home etc, Truro at home battered us, even Slough at home, Aveley, Taunton recent...

Pretty sure it's not Osborne paying. His statement said he could no longer fund the club. It seems apparent that all of the revenue of from the home games since the announcement - plus whatever has been donated directly to the club - will be used to pay wages come the end of the month (don't know th...

We are not yet in administration. When, as seems likely, we are the situation may change. But we don't know what the loan or financial arrangements are. Nelson went back almost staright away. Personally I'd be glad for Arkell-Boyd and WJD to stay as long as possible as they are two of our better pl...

think I gave up on winning the prediction league months ago, so Tonbridge 2-5 Torquay

4-1 again.

The energy and confidence early 2nd half, was refreshing for all to see, after to be fair a lacklustre first half. Many good performers and hopefully the beginning of a run of the form we will need to sneak into playoffs. Good to see Leroy, Southend away one of our clubs greatest days. Except the p...

I really don't get the sudden decision to go the administration route. Why not just put the club up for sale without the added risk to the football club? Could be two things. Or both; Osborne didn't want to put any more money in. Doing the notice of intent for administration allows him to say "...
