Your wrong, Merse. Check your facts before sounding off. I'd better get it right because if all goes to plan I'm havng a free holiday out there next summer with my three youngest... To be precise, it's Republic of The Gambia and I've heard Gambians I know in London refer to it as 'A Gâmbia' in thei...

Hmmn...I'd say a **** who can't come to terms with names that 'sound a bit foreign'.

The young lad comes from Gambia ~ what does he expect him to be called; Bill Smith?

Our 23 was rubbish, what is his name?? I think you've got off lightly with that stupid comment......give Saikou Janneh the respect and dignity of learning his name before posting such crass stupidity about an eighteen year old who's assist enabled the equaliser to be scored. Give his family the res...

So much bollocks being spoken about Landricombe, Tiverton and wages... No player in the Westcountry at that level would be on £400 a week; nobody! Gary Owers himself told me how much was being asked for a striker well proven over three seasons at a higher level than Tiverton who he went for in the ...

That's a good resume of events last night Sue with your unique position enabling that to be presented this morning... It all makes nonsense of Osborne's talk of a new home for the Club in 2020. Things move at snails' pace with local authorities and there is much more to the equation than simply say...

I think Hayman's post has been in recognition/a trade off for his shares... Whether he was in Australia or not is irrelevant; both he and Brian Palk diligently unearthed the Roberts methodology and brought it to attention that it was the Club funding his purchase of shares necessary to take control...

Why was that game arranged? You had a director who was a travel agent (A Jewish guy called Harry Benjamin) and he had done us a few favours on getting discounted flights to take the youth team to Holland for the Zeeburgia Pre-Season Tournament and this game was agreed to as a return of those favours.

You are aware who the Club's Presidents for Life are, aren't you? Thea Bristow and Ian Hayman ~ Hayman was a director in the Bateson era and pro-active in bringing about the exposure of the Roberts regime. He was co-opted onto the ' Rowe Board' and I'm pretty certain was the man who brokered the pa...

Regardless of his motives, he is no super rich white knight, Torquay United is a business venture, nothing more nothing less, whether that is a good thing for the United purists is yet to be written, judge him on what he does at United in comparison to other owners and so called chief executives we...

A bit like Swindon Speedway then who are unfortunate enugh to be his tenants.

I'm fearful for our future even more now... You need to be; everybody needs to be and not let their attention become less focussed on the long term aims of Clarke Osborne allied to the historic track record of the man... Those aims might be perfectly honourable; that is open to debate, but what is ...

George Edwards (right) after the lunatic assaulted Gary Owers at Evesham

my views remain unchanged but then they would because my lifetime of experiences have given me those views. It's not been nice reading this thread and appalling reading some of the ill-informed statements being made. Like Dave my views are fashioned out of personal experience and I guess that's whe...

A club 2 divisions below us earn this by way of renting out their 2 4g pitches at £30 an hour. Includes local schools that do their sports lessons there. Basically £300 a day easy profit in a average week. Car parking 100 spaces mostly full weekdays at £4 a car. £700 a week £350,000 profit on a sus...

The Torbay Development Agency are the professional body charged with attracting the necessary investment in to the area so necessary for capital projects that will propel the borough out of the past and into the future. When they have a scheme (s) put to them they need to prepare and submit a report...
