Taunton Town.

If you do your homework and it's for the community it may be possible with grants. Even the premier league are funding them as here. We need people with a can do attitude at Torquay. Last week saw the official opening of a new 3G pitch at Chichester City’s Oaklands Park, thanks to a £729,000 grant ...

Potential Buyers

Firstly let's remember Nick Broderick and TUST are just like you and I supporters. They simply want what is best for the club. However, they find themselves in a position of huge responsibility, while finding themselves talking about things that could be above their knowledge levels (this is not mea...

Full time V Part Time

I have a number of times talked of moving training towards Bristol. Location to me remains part of the problem. We need to attract a greater number of players. A 3g / 4g pitch is a must at our level. This could be used 365 days a year and help address our financial shortcomings. A great coffee shop,...

Fantastic news and a scheme that I would be looking join and back. My only observation as this time would be, this is the TUST backed group. Who are the other parties, why should we not consider them?

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

I guess this is more of a question and needs exploring more. Is our catchment area large enough for part time football at this level. As I've said below, I would explore moving training out of area a little. Could we tap into areas like Bristol. Further, a lot depends on the league we find ourselves...

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

I understand Neil Warnock is going to be there tomorrow. I believe in some way we should acknowledge that, he could hold all the cards for our future.

Neil Warnock great bloke

I would love Neil to be involved in a consortium. However, I question why he's spoken out. Does this mean he's not involved.

Aaron Downes Comments Post Tonbridge.

I hope I did not give the impression that I was moaning about aaron, he has inherited the preverbial poison chalice, both in terms of set up and players how we line up on saturday will say a lot about the man and his ability to change things. No mate, not you or anyone. Simply, highlighting the hor...

Aaron Downes Comments Post Tonbridge.

I hear what people are saying about Aaron Downs and his comments. However, I would give him a 'little slack'. Like the rest of us, I am annoyed and not happy with things (understatement of the year). We need to remember he's taking on a huge challenge. Not only is he trying to set the team up and mo...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

My thoughts are as follows. While I accept George Edwards may have a big part to play in a transition to a new owner. His presence does not help right now and detracts from the football. The Aaron Jarvis miss with only the keeper to beat early on should have put us one up. Brett McGavin offers littl...

Points deduction

I'd like to know why the owner put us in this position? Did he not understand the rules? Surely this makes the club less attractive to new owners? Why did he not try to sell the club first before having this intention to appoint administartors??? Quite simply he did not get his away and could not c...

Ex-Gull watch

I believe the point being made here is, is Neil Warnock part of a new investment group. It did cross my mind, it could be possible, but I don't believe so.
