Is it really that unfeasible that the club has lost millions since CO ownee us? ... It all soon adds up Club chairman (and effective owner) David Bosomworth, Halifax Town (2019) "it costs on average £150,000 a month to run National League FC Halifax" Town. 5 years later after Covid and In...

I understand the point - Uncle Clarke is a property developer. That's not a crime. For me the root cause goes back to Dave Phillips and co. When they took hold of the club the realisation dawned on them that running a football club was somewhat akin to pouring money down the drain. Success they thou...

If the only solution to all of this "is for a Phoenix club now ... and try to arrange a groundshare with Buckland?" then count me out. If everyone is up in arms for having a bad season in NLS then what hope is there to maintain passion in the Bay for Western League Division football.

I do feel sorry for Taunton - a winding up petition and transfer embargo for owing the tax man a measly £14k and having to sign up three Bridgwater & Taunton College students to make up the squad. If we cannot convincingly beat a college team of under 18 year old kids then we might as well pack ...

Football rules (and other sports) evolve over time as things change. There was a time before yellow and red cards... Indeed, I reminisce back to 1967 before the red card when Bristol City played Tottenham in the FA Cup and Spurs captain Dave Mackay refused to walk when the ref sent him off, After t...

I'm going to take we play with intent as we did against Maidstone. With Slough being the 3rd highest scorers in this league I'm going for a high scoring game

TUFC 4 - 3 Slough

Ever the optimist

Absolute screamer but you have to question how he got so free of the midfield to have so much space to strike from. When you look at the highlights take a look at the inexperience of Archer, playing twinkle toes in our half and getting hustled off the ball when a simple pass would have done at a ti...

Of course, o'dear wrong already.

I know we are going to lose but I cannot bring myself to say it. I will not be going to Maidstone as after the 3rd goal went in for St Albans I found myself auto-scrolling Tik-Tok for the rest of the match.

Maidstone 0 - 1 TUFC

Ever the optimist.

This article is quite damning of the clubs owner and his 'plans' for a new stadium. https://www.devonlive.com/sport/sport-opinion/torquay-united-stadium-plans-raise-9067493.amp I think it highlights what most of us think - what is does not tell us is what is the lesser of multiple bad options. Ther...

There was a rebirth at Macclesfield when a businessman decided to invest and brought in a sports personality for a 20% in the business. In the business owners own words “I was looking at every opportunity to get multiple income streams into the club to support a first team. I knew we needed a big bu...

What would be the next steps in forming a Phoenix club. Hopefully we could apply to join the Western Premier League and play the likes of Brixham and Buckland. Not forgetting all the thrills and spills of the Les Phillips Cup. Who'd be the manager? well we would need someone better than we have got...

Being honest I haven't watched the highlights, I'm going on match reports and being fair from TUFC fans who were at the game suggesting Lovett took down Pearce, with the ref giving a corner. I was in line view and Lovett made the save with Pearce running into Lovett's outstretched arm and doing the...
