Torquay United Fans Forum

Having been left somewhat red-faced by Bristol Gull and his seemingly endless ideas for new revenue, I thought I'd better put my thinking cap on. So today I emailed an American billionaire, because if Wrexham can do it why can't we? This person fits the criteria perfectly, being a very nice person ...

I've got to agree with the past few fans who've posted on here, CO isn't a hero nor is he some sort of saviour, I won't believe it, I'm not in denial, he's probably done this gesture simply because he was never going to realistically see this money again, for tax reasons, or something else, it woul...

I'm not sure. I always felt they should use the number of people who actually go through the turnstiles - that being the *attendance* - but I know some teams/leagues like to count the number of tickets sold...presumably because it makes seem more impressive. Those numbers would then include ST holde...

I'm part of one such group who bought tickets for the weymouth game and are doing so again for Dartford.

Best idea is to only give cash to Club, once new buyer is in place. I would not give it to TUFC now in case undesirables like Osborne or Edwards get their hands on it....and I would not give it to the.TUST as I believe they would keep cash to fight for control of the club. That is why Weymouth, as ...

He might be a good lad (i've never met him) but I don't think he ever improved the side which, considering how bad we've been in the past 18 months, is quite something. He can run very fast, and he's a trier (both of which are valuable) but he consistently failed to have much in the way of an end pr...

I should add, that I think in the long term, a fan-based model is probably the best way forward. But we're miles away from that right now, and so we'll need an owner who make an effort to move us towards some sort of sustainability in the meantime. If they could also get us into League 2 at the same...

Subscription service, the fans pay a set amount per month into the club. The number stands at around 5000, if they pay £10 a month that's £600,000 a year income, if it's £20 a month............ Not sure what number we could get to, but a 1000 paying £20 a month could give us a decent income. Centre...

4-1 Torquay

Gary finally took the hint, he was no longer welcome at TQ1 but brother Peter appears to be lingering like a bad smell. Time for him to leave as well......not wanted at Plainmoor, we need fresh air, I mean people. I wonder if Gary left because one Osborne said he'd stop paying the bills, it was obv...

Rochdale are an attractive investment for those with the funds; they own the ground and have very manageable levels of debt. The majority of interest is coming from America, partly thanks to the increased exposure in the English football pyramid provided by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s takeov...

No, not when you can simply email "[email protected]", lol

Sad to see not only one person from UAE and another from Chicago have responded. Sad.

I'm in the US.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's what Edwards' job was.

I had a message for Maidstone United fan saying that he had contributed to the GoFundMe page, but I don’t see a link for that anywhere in these posts. It is obviously out there if fans of other clubs are putting money in. I know of at least one GoFundMe that was set up by a fan. No doubt it's well ...
