Torquay United v Slough Town - 5th January 2019

Practically the same team, just with a manager now who knows how to get the best out of them. How shit was that Owers bloke? Whilst I'm sure we are all in agreement that our time under Owers was utterly abysmal, I feel his recruitment deserves some credit. MacDonald, Niate, Wynter and Cameron (my p...

Neither are we. ;-)

Truro City end groundshare

I'm pleased that our pitch can get a rest and hopefully we can improve it. I'm also happy for their fans to get to watch Truro at their real home and also Woking have a mammoth away trip down there at some point, so hopefully Truro can do us a big favour! Or will Masters smell another payday at Pla...

Segregation

standupsitdown wrote: 01 Jan 2019, 14:32 Common sense prevails - they’ve moved the segregation line one block along today. Truro don’t need much space for their home fixture.
And only about ten Torquay fans sat in the extra block ;-)

Seating issues

I was told on Saturday that the club bars will not be open as it's their home game and I imagine that means the food hatch as well as they are not open when Truro play. It will be strange paying at home for an away game. :) The club have already confirmed that the bars and food kiosks will be open....

Segregation

You wouldn't see Liverpool, Man Utd, Exeter, Plymouth, Woking etc give up nearly 1500 of their total capacity for the amount of away fans that turn up. Yes you would. Every club in the country has an "away" section and they are often half empty, when we've been crap our fans have rattled ...

Torquay United v Gloucester City - 29th Dec

Dutchgull wrote: 29 Dec 2018, 21:33 I think it applies if we want to sign players from EFL clubs.
No it doesn't. The EFL window only stops EFL clubs signing players, nothing preventing any players from leaving these clubs to sign for sides in leagues without a window.

Hampton & Richmond Borough V Torquay United

As a matter of fact, the journey to Hampton and indeed most London teams we visit will endure over 4 hours of travel one way, Wrexham for example is about an extra 20 minutes. And yes I also live up north and miss the northern matches involving Torquay, even though I have been 5 matches already thi...

Torquay United v Truro City (Boxing Day)

This will be a tough game being alocal derby and Truro are a good side a big crowd will motivate them. The thing that makes derbies tough and unpredictable games is the passionate backing from both home and away supporters. This won't be the case against Truro as they will only have a mini bus full...

Boreham Wood v Torquay

TUFCPete wrote: 12 Dec 2018, 14:58 I know it’s off topic but will the match on Boxing Day definitely be held at 3pm and why is it at 3pm?
Yes it will be. Boxing Day games are played at 3pm pretty standardly. It's a Bank Holiday after all so the fact that it's a Wednesday doesn't mean a 7:45pm kick off.

Torquayunited v Welling United 8/12/18

I don't think we went this long unbeaten in 98 but fairly sure we won 8 on the bounce, which equaled the club record if I remember rightly. That was a great season Yeah definitely won 8 in a row that season when Roberts and Jack were tearing defences apart. Most games without defeat? 17 in 2008 Mos...

Loanees

There seems to be a lot of unfounded worry about Lee Johnson getting the sack. Not sure why this would result in our loanees going back myself, pretty sure Brian Tinnion is in charge of the Bristol City youth players not Lee Johnson. If he is happy with how their loans are progressing here, then the...
