Altrincham.v.Torquay

There's not been any snow in Stretford/Chorlton, but there never is because it's practically sea level. I presume Altrincham is the same because it's only a couple of miles south.
But yeah, it should be pretty baltic.

Altrincham.v.Torquay

This is just down the road from me, so obviously I'll be there. Unless it's postponed of course. It rains every single day. If anyone is going, there's a wealth of places to drink and eat in the town centre. Historically it's an affluent area and quite attractive. There are three 'Belgian' beer bars...

Torquay.v.Eastleigh

4-3-3 is a great shout. The wingers aren't performing and getting crosses into the box. Certainly Cameron anyway and we relinquish possession so easily it's almost funny so an extra man in there is a good idea. That man certainly isn't Harding though. He can't pass or tackle or do anything a midfiel...

Torquay United v Gateshead - Saturday 22nd November

Good post from Hector there.
I really don't see the point in us being told that someone didn't go to the game. It's not impressive.
I'd love to go to every game and would if I lived in the area, because that's what's going to help the club.

Torquay United v Gateshead - Saturday 22nd November

We can't defend a lead because we can't retain possession to even the most basic level. Let's go 1-0 down in every game and try to keep it like that until the last 10 minutes then go for it. Seems like the best thing to do. I think im right.

James McQuilkin Midfielder signs

Surely what we need is a goalkeeper and a left back. I imagine this guy won't get in the side ahead of Richards or Young anyway. Better to spend the budget on someone who will start every game no?

The game this evening.

I think this has proved that it doesn't matter who we play, we will currently find a way to lose, regardless of opposition. Confidence is clearly shot to pieces, which is the managers job to rectify. Embarrassing defeat with a strong side put out. Lets hope both Pearce and Macdonald aren't both inju...

Kidderminster Harriers v Torquay United

If anyone is worried that we'll end up in the conference south, then the best thing to do surely is to continue to support the club at the games and give them that extra £17 a week and your vocal support. Then you've done everything you can as a supporter. The wrong thing to do would be to tell ever...

Pearce, Downes or MacDonald

Yesterday was unquestionably the worst defensive display from a Torquay side that I have ever seen. This is partly due to the fact we had a short midfielder in there, but also because Krystian Pearce was terrible. Absolutely terrible. It seemed that every long ball caused sheer panic in the box. Haw...

Alfreton Town v Torquay United – Saturday 11th October 2014

I'm still coming to terms with that. Upon reflection, we just lost to a very, very poor side and seemingly did everything we possibly could to lose. After about 70 minutes, I thought to myself how wonderful it would be if the referee said 'right, jokes over lads. Start again, we'll play for real thi...

Best goals seen at PLAINMOOR

I was also gonna suggest Rodney Jacks strike into the top corner versus Peterborough in 98. Gary Clayton scored an excellent free kick in the same match I think. How about Danny Stevens' run and shot against burton, last time we were in the conference? I remember David Graham curling one into the to...

We're leaving it a bit late to get a man sent off. We'll be finishing with 11 players at this rate.

Is the round in which we enter divided into North and South or is it national?

Clubs already sniffing around our young talent.

Do we know if Levi has signed a contract yet? If not, would he be able to leave for next to nothing?
