Torquay United Association Football Club - Sole Director Clarke Osborne

Any planning put forward to the council for a new stadium, I expect, would be very similar to Scarborough Athletic Football Clubs £15 million, 2,000 seat stadium & leisure development. The clients there are Scarborough Council although some of the funding was raised with a bit of land swapping ...

Torquay United v Bromley 20/1/18

Scarborough Athletic got 1,144 for their recent home game with Kendal Town. On Boxing Day against Taddy Albion they got 1,377. This is in Evo Stik North. This is a small seaside club in an isolated geographical position. The club would have to gain another 3 promotions in order to get where Torquay...

Gary Owers

I’m truly staggered that it has got to this stage, as the games I saw early in GO’s tenure were pointing in the right direction. After Ebbsfleet, I couldn’t see a way we could possibly get relegated playing like that. Quite how a management team can lose their way so spectacularly I don’t know. Can’...

Torquay v Eastleigh 13/01/2018 (PP)

Just watched the highlights.

Shocking first goal. Never a penalty. In between times some reasonable chances created but nobody to finish

Striker

Ryan Brunt from Exeter. Said it before. Surely something can be sorted with both clubs as a bit of goodwill and on a short term loan until the end of the season. He's in the area already and doesn't get a look in at Exeter. Has Owers ever even heard of the lad? It's a no brainer for me and i'm sure...

Where is Clarke Osborne?

I wouldn't take it as read that Billericay will win the league just because of their inordinately bigger playing budget (rumoured to be in excess of £35,000 per week compared to Hamlet's newly pruned £5000 per week.........the wheels could come off the Billericay bus anytime with such extravagant f...

Ambition or Submission?

Appreciate your reply Jeff....but time to secure a striker is something we don`t have ! We are bottom of the league, points adrift and I think we should be panicking....only my opinion of course . :scarf: I don’t disagree, but don’t you think that Gnabouyou felt like a bit of a panic signing and th...

Aaron Barnes

I’m guessing he is predominately right sided, thus allowing Dowling and Efete to return to playing in a natural position. And the acquisition of Balatoni allows McGinty to move across to the left side of a back 3 where he seemed to do his best work

All of Owers and Kuhl`s contacts coming to fruition then !!!!! Is anybody really suprised ???????? Use to be answers on a postcard.............but answer here please guys ! :scarf: In their defence, it will take time to secure a striker. There will be a cascade effect - an L1 Club will sign a Champ...

My Offer Still Stands

I can't understand why someone of Paul Sturrock's standing feels it is necessary to make his offer to the club via a Fans Forum. Surely the professional approach is by way of the proper channels at Plainmoor. If that draws a blank then so be it. He isn't likely to get very far by this route is he? ...

Conrad Balatoni

You can’t not be satisfied with this signing (on the face of it, at least). 100+ games at a decent level (and before anyone slags off the Scottish FL, Bobby Olejnik and Favid Graham prove that decent players there do exist), and a league not dissimilar to this in terms of style of play etc. I’d be s...

Wrexham v Torquay 6/1/18

Can’t work out what Dorel was doing for that second goal at all.

There is a chance at around 2min 20 where the defending is criminal from start to finish.

Just looks like a horror show

Is this all 'FAKE NEWS'

I’m bored of people regurgitating the “we’re not rubbish anymore” quote every 2 mins. If memory serves me right that was after the Ebbsfleet game. Who was there? Because I was and we certainly weren’t rubbish, and it looked for all the world that we would survive comfortably after that. Unfortunatel...

Are these latest signings the last roll of the dice for TUFC

Wholesale change?? they've brought in an 18-year-old kid, who has started 2 games and come on as a sub in 7, and a lad who wasn't getting a game at Colchester. The players that have left, Davey, Bobb, Mcquoid, Murphy were all the managements signing, on short loans. why put themselves in a situatio...
