Yes, sorry, I've just realised my mistake. Will attempt to edit.

Very good ideas on this thread so far. I'm sure we could all come up with a lengthy Wish List of things we would like to see change. I would like to see the re-introduction of the schoolkids matches at half time. It brings youngsters to Plainmoor, plus parents and grandparents ...... and quite ofte...

I didn't like last season's kit but thought it looked better on the team than me.

I think new kit is an improvement on last season.

Good point, I hadn't realised that. 30 mins after?

I'd like them to run football specials (minibuses or single deckers or double-deckers) from Brixham to Plainmoor, Newton Abbot to Plainmoor, and maybe Teignmouth to Plainmoor. The buses would arrive 30 minutes before kick-off and leave 15 minutes after the final whistle.

The Main Man cancelled the meeting - par for course. Warming to Kevin Foster - like most of us , not against the merit of a new facility but very sceptical. As this is our MP's viewpoint I wonder if the Herald Express will follow up on it or just hide behind the editors code of practice yet again! ...

FROM KEVIN FOSTER MP's LATEST WEEKLY UPDATE Plainmoor Freehold Decision Postponed Earlier this week it was announced that Torbay Council and Torquay United FC have agreed to postpone a decision on whether the club could purchase the freehold of the Plainmoor Stadium. The stated reason for this postp...

Until such time as Osborne and co. are sent packing I will remain hugely cynical about this. Reading the statement there is nothing to give us comfort that the Council have laid the law down and absolutely crucially there is no indication that GI will be forced to BUILD the new stadium before getti...

by merse btpir [/quote] I absolutely agree that this is a battle won but not the war. [highlight=yellow]Let's see the club ownership making proper use of the current ground and facilities in the meantime and show us that they really mean business because we haven't seen anything like that yet!

Included in Kevin Foster MPs weekly Residents Update Request For Meeting with TUFC Owners Over recent months there has been a lot of debate about the future of the Plainmoor Stadium that has been home to Torquay United for over 90 years. My view is that Plainmoor should be protected as a venue for l...

I think the signings will make people think twice, but also those that said maybe know that GI still want the freehold! Encouraging start but we cant be complacent and take our eyes off the ball on what should be the most important signing, refusal of the freehold to GI! :goodpost: Although I have ...

Keeping our eye on the ball…post-election. I sent 4 emails and 9 letters to candidates and their agents. I know from the replies that I received from the parties (all bar UKIP :red: ) and being CC’d in to emails, that others were doing the same. Unsurprisingly, my fantasy that the issue of the sale ...

Christ! I hope not.

The likes of Luke Young and McGinty will carry it off and I'm sure Sam Chaney will love it but with my physique I'll be hunting for the XXXL size. :aww: l'll be sticking with last season's shirt with the silly flappy collar.

I wore my shirt at work for a particular event and a young Goth asked somebody else "Does he know he has 420 across his shirt?"!
