Re: Clark Osborne/Jim Parker Interview

Can those of you who live in the community help me understand the disconnect between Mr Osborne and the “council and the bergers?” Does the council and its bergers want this team to fail? How would it benefit them if the club went out of business? What is it that they want It would not benefit the ...

Final Nail in the Coffin?

Why do you think failure to make the playoffs would be a disaster? In my opinion, it would just be another bad season. And a reason to think about making changes. They'll happen one day. The pre-season expectation was that we would get immediately promoted back to the National League - several fact...

Can't remember the last time Torquay got close to an average of 3000 fans at games in a season. A lot of EFL clubs' money comes from TV revenue or Premier League solidarity payments, but the problem with having dropped out of the league years ago is that the club no longer receive either. quick bit...

There is huge potential at TUFC, however we'd be lucky to find someone willing to part with significant amounts of money on potential alone. That leads me onto my next point, my frustration with our club grows by the week, almost to the point my piss is beginning to boil. As much as I love the club...

so we are now 9 days into Jan, plus the week we had off due to Truro game being off and still NO signings!! what is going on The answer to this seems fairly straightforward. We probably won't being anybody in until after the league transfer window closes. League clubs have until then to find a loan...

Fair enough, we all have opinions but Marshall is the best right back currently on the playing staff. I wouldn't argue that we have long needed a specialist right back, but I think Marshall has filled the gap fairly well. while this is undoubtedly true, it says quite a lot that Ross Marshall is our...

Taunton Town vTorquay United Tuesday 19 Dec KO 19.45

Jarvis returns and the beloved Hoofball returns..I cannot wait ! Nah, I don't buy that. We were playing hoofball earlier in the season, but not because of Jarvis. It was because we were crap. We had no midfield at all so defenders were forced to aimlessly lump it long. That's not even what Jarvis i...

I see that we have finally announced on the official club web site something we have suspected for weeks and confirmed by livingstone that he will be off 1st January on a 2 and half year contract, however reading the statements on livingstone's site indicate that we have let him go early so more th...

Torquay United v Hemel Hempstead Sat 16 Dec 3PM KO

you take a quick glance at the table and think "16th - we should smash them!" but they're the same number of points (9) that we are behind Yeovil. We should win, and losing to Havant and Waterlooville in the week isn't a good sign for them, but you never know. with that all said - I don't ...

Doesnt play on aw pitches and looked like an ox pulling a cart in that trophy game. No thanks by my very quick reckoning we only have 3 games left to play on artificial surfaces. That leaves 20+ matches on a preferred pitch where a player of his experience could be beneficial. Not automatically say...

F A Trophy Prize Money

If we beat Hereford in January in the 4th Round we earn just £5,250. Round 5 £6,000 Q/F £7,500 S/F £15,000 and Winner in Final £60,000. So £93,750 is possible for the Winner so not bad if you get to the Final as the looser picks up £30,000. You never know especially as we beat Yeovil. £100k, or clo...
