Spot the Difference

I added to my programme collection over the holiday with one from 7th Dec 1963, TUFC v Aldershot in the FA Cup second round. The paragraph titled "Apathy" in the programme notes by The Trekker brought a smile to my face as it occurred to me that the theme wasn't much different to many of t...

PLAINMOOR FOR SALE?

Who would have thought that most of us would be looking forward to the 3pm kick off on a Saturday to take our minds off the goings on off the pitch for a couple of hours?! This whole GI debacle is throughly depressing and it's difficult to see any sort of light at the end of the tunnel at the momen...

Club Ownership

From the Herald Express: 'Because of the holiday period, the Vanarama National League board is not expected to rubber-stamp United's takeover by the Gaming International group until the middle of this month. As a result, GI are unlikely to take any major decisions or invest more significant money u...

Has anyone created a petition on the Torbay council website? http://www.torbay.gov.uk/council/how-the-council-works/petitions/ This may help if we can get more than 25 signatures online from fans then they will look at it.

PLAINMOOR FOR SALE?

Apparently the issue of Plainmoor will not now be discussed at this meeting but has been put back to 6th Feb (provisionally). This is from BTPIR, posted by the wife of councillor Julien Parrott so I think you can rely on this info being accurate. I hope this postponement is down to the fuss we have...

PLAINMOOR FOR SALE?

Hi All, I've spoken to my father this morning who is a councillor and he is of the opinion that the disposal of the lease at Plainmoor is a full council decision and not a decision which can be made solely by the Mayor. He has advised that as many people as possible email the councillors prior to t...

Although I misunderstood what he was asking, Southampton Gull suggested on another thread that I summarise my reply from Kevin Foster MP. However, with Kevin Foster’s permission, I am posting his reply in its entirety. The letter shows the esteem with which TUFC is held generally and its importance ...

PLAINMOOR FOR SALE?

Be aware that Gordon Oliver has been stripped of most of his power. Nearly every major decision goes to Full Council now where as before The Mayor could decide something on his own. Also remember that there are divides in the Council, notably 1. The Lib-dems and independents 2. The conservatives wh...

It's time to make a noise. Let's show them we’re Keyboard Warriors not wankers. I have written to and received informed and supportive replies from my two councillors (one of whom is Adrian Sanders) and Kevin Foster MP. I have not had a reply from Gordon Oliver the Mayor!

Gaming International have taken our club hostage

The key to saving the Club would seem to be protecting Plainmoor from development by GI. We need to make a shitstorm of noise to let the powers that be now that they cannot operate under the radar. We need to let them know we're out there. I have written to both of my councillors (both of whom repl...
