Torquay United v Chelmsford City - 9th Feb 2019

The only match currently off in the whole of the National League.

I am in no doubt that the ground share is responsible because in early season the pitch was the best I have ever seen in over 60 years.

Torquay United v Chelmsford City - 9th Feb 2019

The key period is 9am tomorrow until KO.
The forecast for the morning period is not too bad.
Lots of roads closed near Totnes due to fallen trees one fatality at Buckfastleigh due to fallen tree.

Well one point out of the last nine available is some collapse in form. We will have to play well on Saturday because Chelmsford are on a great run. A lot of rain in Teignmouth tonight so I think it will be a mud bath on Saturday if the game is on. However we seem to float across the pitch at presen...

East Thurrock v Torquay United 2.2.19

Ebbsfleet Home game with Hartlepool already postponed due to frozen pitch.

Long journey if match at East Thurrock is in any doubt.

I guess team are travelling up today if pitch is OK.

East Thurrock v Torquay United 2.2.19

East Thurrock United have been on a good run only losing 1 of their last 6 matches a narrow 1-0 defeat at Bath City. They do not score many goals and last Saturday at Eastbourne their 2 goals were a penalty and a goalkeeping error. We should have too much fire power for them. 3-0 to United is my pre...

The Final 15 Games

No tomogull I am definitely not counting chickens because in Football there are no guarantees. Still cannot believe AFC Wimbledon beat West Ham!! Injuries are a worry with a small squad but we are looking good and Dowson the Woking Manager slaughtered his players on Saturday which makes me think &qu...

The Final 15 Games

I do not think I am biased when I say we are without doubt the outstanding team in National League South. Yesterday we were clinical against Oxford City and our recent record is superb. In the last 13 games we have won 11, drawn 1, and lost one at Bath City. 34 points out of 39 is fantastic. With 15...

Torquay United v Oxford City 26/1/19

In August the pitch was wonderful to behold. The best I have ever seen. 80% of the reason for the deterioration is the ground share with Truro City. 20% is that there are 4 small areas in front the Bench were the drainage may be at fault still. I could be wrong but no doubt someone will tell me if I...

Torquay United v Oxford City 26/1/19

Oxford City have today sold their best player to Forest Green Rovers.
His name is Godwin- Malife and he got a two and a half year contract so suggests they will miss him.Good timing from our point of view.

MOTM - Bath

Asa Hall. My MOTM. I watched him intently when Andrews insisted on taking the penalty. As Captain I expected him to intervene.He did not. Why? Jamie Reid. Worked hard as usual but Bath defended very well. Liam Davis. Consistently good. Saikou Jenneh. Ran and ran but not his day.I was very close when...

Looks like Opi Edwards could at the very least be on the bench tomorrow according to Devon Live today.

Bath Away jan 19th

I just had a look at the Bath City Website re Maximum Gate.

Hidden away ( click Club first then Information) it says well down the Page Limit 3,528.

I believe Plainmoor is about 6,300.

Ground Record in 1960 at Twerton Park was over 18,000!!
