Mrs Bristow.

Although I think that the possibility of Sean North becoming manager is an interesting one, I feel that in the end it is unnecessary to continue with it: TUFC as a football club (as we know it) is finished. Relegation is a certainty and, once gone, we won't be back. Very soon such ideas (as North) w...

REALISM NEEDED

I've never read a sillier and more deluded contribution.

The Squad

The danger signs first became apparent in the summer. Apart from the full back from Rotherham (one of the worst players ever to represent TUFC), most of the others were panic, last-minute signings or rejects at the bottom of the pile. This is the worst squad to represent TUFC for many a long year an...

Torquay United v Exeter City - 29/12/13

I repeat (only brucie and hector and perhaps tomogull agree with me) that we will win the occasional game, have a draw here and there, but we are as inevitably destined for relegation as we were after the first (AFC Wimbledon) game of the season where it became instantly clear (at least to myself, b...

Gilbertus Minissimus

I was interested to see the new GILBERT on Thursday; I've never seen a smaller one. However, although GILBERT was impersonating a child or a young teenager, I would have liked him to have taken note of the previous GILBERT's performances, especially his dancing. So come on, Gilbertus Minissimus, how...

Torquay United v Exeter City - 29/12/13

Yes, but too often in the past we have come a VERY severe cropper against Exeter. 1-4, 0-4 anybody?

Exeter tickets

The attendance for this game should be 5000+. Any less can be translated as a pointless loss of income by TUFC. So, just for arguments sake, let's agree that one person is worth £15 of income. Just calculate what TUFC will lose if the attendance on Sunday is the same as that of Boxing Day. In other ...

New Year Predictions

A slight improvement has been noticed, but that is all. We are on track for the now all too familiar end-of-season relegation drama. One of the seasons we will lose that drama and -farewell King!

Ideas for Mr Candy

It is quite clear now that the ticketing issue (i.e. for the 5 all-tickets games) is serious and needs addressing. Posters on this site seem to be in agreement that it isn't working. The crux of the matter is this: TUFC is losing hundreds of supporters and tens of thousands of pounds because of this...

Torquay United v Bristol Rovers match thread

I am interested in Mr. Brooker's posting. I stand at the back of the pop. stand, on the half-way line, surrounded by senile delinquents. But I have to say I've never heard anything like the abuse (if any at all) as described by Mr. Brooker. I would be interested exactly from exactly where on the pop...

Torquay United v Bristol Rovers match thread

It was o.k. - but that's it. On the whole it was one of those games that you endure rather than enjoy, but then it's been like that all season. I'm still not convinced that we can pull away from the relegation zone - not with this team anyway - and I expect it will (as then say) 'go down to the wire...

Bristol rovers game.

As always, brucie is correct. When you remember the Boxing Day crowds of the past, and compare them with the pathetic 3400+ yesterday, then there is clearly something wrong. I think it is unreasonable and silly police demands that is the cause (and, of course, the dreadful football served up this se...

Brucie is correct. I also agree with him on the ticketing issue, although it's clearly the insistence of the police which is causing the problem.
